Yeah, this one has been a long time in coming. This is one very sweet ride.

Does it come in a hybrid with an automatic? LOL!

Pretty sharp looking car and with those specs I am surprised there are no photos of the engine on their site.

The best part of this car IMHO is the launch control, set the right settings in the transmission, dynamics, and the VDC, deck the brake, deck the gas and it holds the engine at 4.5k RPMs .. let off the brake and hold on for low 3 second 0-60s. It beats the Porsche 911 Turbo Tiptronic at a fraction of the cost.

Oh Skyline, how I love thee...

It's a shame we never got the R32/3/4 Skylines in the States legally. A few mods to 1000hp and 4wd? dang.

Thankfully they're bringing this to the US- while it's styling moves away from the Skylines of old I'm glad they kept the rear quad lights. I hear they're claiming the AWD system is THE BEST ever made and no other manufacturer can match it's performance.

I have been following this since I bought my 350Z back in 2003. I am REALLY hoping the after market performace is up to par with the previous SkyLines. I can only hope that tuners can as easily crank out 800 - 1000 horsepower with relitively minor mods.

Nerd :P

I have to agree though even though I have waited 15 years for this car.
