Cant understand why this car is nearly double the price of the original.

Oh and i appologise for the americans bastardising our english speak

Enjoy the neeeeeeeeesan

Englebert · Mar 30, 2009

Agreed with the price... don't see the point.

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

Yeh didn't seem to perform double the price better in evo, be good too see a track time though.

MaLicE · Mar 30, 2009

its not a v spec its a spec v...

its a lighter more track focussed car...

if u look at the extra parts that come on it u see why its more expensive
brake pads... wait for it ... £16,740
if u want the discs aswell that is £35,520
different turbo's costing £7435 EACH

people that have driven it said its alot more focussed and the brakes and handling upgrades do make a big difference but maybe not double the price difference...

Mike@MJCycles.com · Mar 30, 2009

there is a review in EVO this month.
havent had chance to read it yet, the summary says its got awsome handling and brakes, i cant help thinking you could send a standard gtr to a specialist and get the same performance for half the difference!

Sorry malice, i want proof!

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

Says in EVO you need 30k to replace discs and pads,that's just ridiculous.ill have a Black edition thanks.

MaLicE · Mar 30, 2009

go look on the parts list then lol the turbo's are 1 million yen each!

brakes are carbon ceramic its not hard to know how much carbon ceramic brakes are normally thats a pretty regular price lol

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

£30K for pads? entry level F1 AP Racing calipers and bugati carbon discs pads cost about that! and that includes Pankl bits!

MaLicE · Mar 30, 2009

35k for discs and pads...

when I drove one the car felt very focussed to me and the brakes and handling were already superb, so not sure how much better it gets ...

your not serious.
How much is it for a brake service then? Ie new disks and pads? it can't be 35k?

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

"the only downside is that when you do need to replace your pads and discs,you'd better have upwards of £36,000 in your back pocket..."

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

what make are they! the Porsche stuff is "only" around £10K to replace

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

Uprated from a Ferrari fxx apparently.

Craig · Mar 30, 2009

feck me that's alot of cash

Munson · Mar 30, 2009

Has everyone not heard of the term "diminishing returns"?

The standard GT-R is already stupidly cheap for the performance it offers. Half the price of what it could have been to begin with TBH.

Craig · Mar 30, 2009

indeed it is roy. id love one

kyle_sxi · Mar 30, 2009

dream car tbh

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

What does diminishing returns mean ? lol

Dont say such stupid things..........your making other people stupid for reading it!

MaLicE · Mar 30, 2009

shatup u midget lol and special k i didnt say the standard gtr is bad handling or anything just from reviews they say the spec v improves on perfection...

tbh i would pic nomukens new r35 gtr over all of them lol just for the pimpness!

BenR · Mar 30, 2009

Its not perfection...its a lame ass car that looks s**t, has turbos and no soul.

You sir a blinded by the JDM virus, 5 x worse than HIV.....which you also have.

Ian_182 · Mar 30, 2009

Simply not worth the extra cash.

Sorry.

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

Hardly a lame ass car.

Ex-User (19928) · Mar 30, 2009

It's hardly a good base for a track car imo at 1700kg.

you must be joking - it is definitely not a lame ass car that looks s**t - and for the price you cannot beat the performance ....

BenR · Mar 30, 2009

Its lame....if you have a problem.....you'll have to call houston.

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

i'm with Ben on this, its a bit, well, unexciting really, i'll take a used Gallardo for that money thanks!

Ali · Mar 30, 2009

^ Same! It's all about the soul and persona of the car. ALL JAP CARS ARE SOULESS...

Pre 72 and they start getting better!

When has straight up performance been a priority.......just get a caterfield and live with a tonneu cover.

flippy flappy, launch controlly, flat torquey curvey, dull sounding and jap styling nastyness...and that inerior......and like i said, zero soul....its just so bland.

Infact, for the money ALL you are getting is performance, because it certainly doesnt delivery anything else.

Its just my opinion, which means nothing, i'm just ranting and I know loads of people think its the bee's knees.....but its tripe. Spending that money I want to be able to drive the flipping thing.

vette = win

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

on an AMV8, R8, or an F360 or anything other than a Renault GTR

Mike@MJCycles.com · Mar 30, 2009

Used?
not far off new price, £123,000!
My mates dad sold his Gallardo and bought an R8, prefer's it.
i would go for that on the budget unless i neede 4 seat's, thats when the cheaper again rs4 comes in.

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

I thought lambos and raris broke every five minutes.

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

you can pick up Gallardos from low to mid £50k's now (if you know where to look)

BenR · Mar 30, 2009

probably do, and i wouldnt buy anything related to audi ever.....nor a modern rari really......none of them look good either.

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

a Renault GTR gearbox ain't much better

Gallardos are sound, just clutches need doing every 8-10K

F360 are relatively bullet proof if looked after

jamesp24 · Mar 30, 2009

Gearbox aside lol,You can get a 5 year old lambo with less performance 2 less seats, probably double the service costs crap reliability and massive depreciation for the price of a brand new GTR.

Fred@BTM · Mar 30, 2009

drive one, you'll soon change your mind! no one does passion like the Italigermans!

all our cars have needed over the years are clutches and oil changes, we've lost 1 engine last year, but thats it

specialK · Mar 30, 2009

have any one of you driven a GT-R by any chance? :quiet:
