Nissan Moves to Replace The The GT-R By 2013
Nissan has reconfirmed its commitment to an ongoing GT-R development programme, with a model replacement cycle in place that should see an R36 hit the streets by 2013 at the latest.

PistonHeads was at Nissan’s Nurburgring Technical Centre earlier this week, when VP of global product planning Andy Palmer paid a flying visit to show his support for the GT-R programme lead by Kazutoshi Mizuno.

It was Andy’s first meeting with the Japanese GT-R ‘away team’ at the Nurburgring and, speaking informally to the assembled engineers and support staff, he spoke warmly of their achievements and reaffirmed Nissan’s commitment to the GT-R project.

A hydraulic transmission would be sweet, especially if they worked in some nitrogen cylinders (which I highly doubt they will)

A new front end design is really the most important thing it needs. Interior, being very high quality, also looks kinda dated. It'll also be great to offer 'Cuoio'(beige) color of leather.

I'll be invited to a INFINITI future car design evaluation. Will let you know if I see a INFINITI version of GT-R there!

I hear Porsche hopes to be competing in the upcoming tdi cup with some of their new econo models.

Poor turbo, still so negative, and so revealing...pity.

Among the enthusiasts on this site, Porsche's reputation only seems to shine brightly in your eyes.

Poor Turbo, always trying to "besmirch" any Asian car company when he can. The irony is, is that he always ends up "besmirching" himself...

"What's most striking about the Porsche Cayman S Vehicle Dynamics Score is that it doesn't appear to be remarkable at all. It took turning off our elaborate test equipment and simply wrapping our hands on its steering wheel to finally get the picture. After driving all 10 of our contenders on an impromptu road course, we scored them in six, driver's-car-illuminating categories. And when the results were compiled, our affection for the Cayman S became starkly apparent."

In other words, they couldn't prove their biases wrong any other way so they came out and admitted their bias.

Porsche racing wins are not a very good measure of a stock car. These Porsches are prepped for racing. Could I not compare the Corvette's prestigious international racing history in the much the same way? I don't because I know those aren't stock cars and you will never see those levels of performance from the factory. The only race I care about is the one that uses actual stock cars and is held by many as the ultimate test... the ring, and as that lies the GT2 still holds a 7:31 and Carrera GT a 7:28.71 ... a full 2 seconds behind this Nissan that you honestly believed cheated even with a couple video proofs otherwise...

The new 2013 GT-R will have less power to attract more buyers.

Looks like that would have not have been the first time. The missing tooth.

Very interesting. Considering what they pulled on the initial try. I can't imagine the next version, being able to refine the current platform. The hardest part is done, the initial chassis.

There is no BMW to compare with this Godzilla...
