2010 Nissan GT-R Spec V Reportedly Will Cost $160,000 but Not Get More hp

Ever since the Nissan GT-R had its ass handed to it on the Nurburgring by the Corvette ZR1, anticipation for a lighter, faster Spec V version has been rampant. Now, it appears that official specifications have leaked. How much faster is it? Not much. Read on for details.

The least changed part causing the most controversy appears to be the engine, which, according to the leaked info, retains the 2009 GT-R’s 478 HP power output. It had been rumored that the Spec V would make somewhere in the region of 520 HP. The engine does however receive an overboost function capable of temporarily boosting mid-range power for those trickier overtakes.

Here's another rumor: The Spec V will have 1,000 Hp.

Rumors are rumors. Just like all those that said that the IS-F would be a performer, they turned to be just rumors.

Gotta love Turbospyder, loves to spread anti-GTR rumors. Who else could it be?

Highly doubt it as the car would be considerable slower.

As I've said before, Turbospyder is just brutal, all I can do is just shake my head...one day maybe he'll learn.

Here we go again with more fodder coming out of Turboturd's mouth.

We're being vague because in general your comments are brutal. I'm not commenting on the facts of what you wrote because facts are not disputable. What we are commenting on is your lack of perspective, wisdom, and you one dimensional viewpoint. That's what makes you brutal. Is that clear enough?

Well, it's been obvious to everyone here these last few years (for those of us that don't know he was formerly known as "sport" and "midengine"). I don't want to explain it to you because then you'll just end up copying and pasting some long-winded retort that no one wants to read that is completely one sided and also comes off as being petty and immature. Just open your mind, that's all, and don't be so judgmental.

That is exactly what I was talking about earlier. Turbospyder decided to only show one side of an argument while ignoring other points of view and evidence. He would not make a very good scientist which it sounds like he is aspiring to become.

When has the ZR1 done that?

I was wondering that too. Either way, I would still take the GT-R anyday!

Autospies keeps pissing me off by allowing this kind of articles. Look at his language...
