Nissan GTR - V-Spec will not come with much Bang for Buck



This, despite looking exactly like the GTR, is actually the faster, meaner V-Spec that'll be hitting your GTR's face in no time. Rumored to have in access of 580hp, a lighter body, more carbon fiber, more speed, more stopping power and more bragging rights than the already maniacal GTR; have got enthusiasts waiting, Porsche and Ferrari's teeth grinding, and us automotive journalists thigh rubbing for a while of what seems like years of waiting. While the $72,000 USD (55,000 GBP or RM780,000) selling price of the GTR seems like a bargain for this performance monster, a Japanese magazine had revealed (according to them, cement, concrete, solid info) that the selling price of the V-Spec, is very likely to be around that of 15,000,000 yen, which is around $154,000 USD. TWICE THE SELLING PRICE OF A REGULAR GTR. So? Will you rather be driving the V-Spec? Or spend that money and mod your GTR out all the way to 1000hp? Oh, the rim's are uglier as well.
