Since the unveiling of the GT-R PROTO at last October's Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan has continued development of the legendary GT-R sports coupe. And while details about the next generation GT-R have been few, one important piece of information was made public today.

Mr. Carlos Ghosn, President and CEO of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., kicked-off the New York International Auto Show with the exciting revelation that the GT-R will be sold in the U.S. as the Nissan GT-R. (yes!)

As part of his keynote address at the International Motor Press Association Breakfast, Mr. Ghosn said that when he unveiled the GT-R PROTO, Nissan had not yet decided whether the GT-R would be sold as a Nissan or an Infiniti in the United States.

Mr. Ghosn also expressed enthusiasm that the heart-pounding GT-R will build on drivers' passion for the Nissan brand.

 

wwhy does it matter if its nissan or infinity? is it going to be cheaper now?

 

It needs to be right hand drive

 

why ?

 

is it still going to be true to I6 TT series? or are they changing the entire engine this time around and not going to stay true to the RB motor series?

 

Probally V8 TT ...

The RB was a good motor but nissan isnt going to be stupid and put some gay motor in it . Lets face it the RB26 is showing its age . It was deisgned in the late 80's . No need to throw that thing in there when a better built , better designed motor can be put in it's place ...They know the american market expects the car to live up to it Aura . Supposedly going to be a 500HP/500TQ V8 with TT's

 

so the mailman can drive it......

 

^lol they probably give them to the drivers. lolz. lets be mail men

 

Everything I've read has said it's going to be a TT variation of the current VQ series which would make it pretty cool as long as they beef it up and make it AWD and keep up to the 400+ HP mark like they've been speculated to be working on.
