I was out in this at the weekend just after it was remapped to over 550bhp and the acceleration of the thing is unreal. Its like a playstation on wheels and the gadgets inside it the thing make it feel like your playing one lol. Its got everything from a G-meter to a 1/4 mile timer (which he recorded a time of 11.2secs on damp roads)
and a couple nest to his mates grey R35 GTR

they're stunning, 11.2secs is a decent time! what's the 0-60 according to the computer?
ps; all the houses look identical, weird.

Love them, there's one near me somewhere owned by some old chap. I was pretty suprised at how big they are in person.

0-60 is in the low 3 sec area iirc.
tbh I like the look of the back and sides of them but the front just minds me of a bigger 350z

lovely cars but can't help think they would look better with bottoms of bumpers and sills colour coded imo.

Am I right in thinking they are the same model GTR's? If so, white makes it look overweight.

had a play with one of these on the way back from TOTB, took his time getting round us anyhow  big cars but they are serious performers - a very capable car but youd expect that for the price you pay.

Nice cars, but the warranty issues and running costs are ridiculous.

I've probably seen this one, I've seen quite a few white ones around, seen a white one at livicruise as well.

What warranty issues have there been? iirc they only been out a few months?
Running costs worth than say a E92 M3 or 997?

If you want to track it for example, you need to pay for a pre/post inspection at Nissan. Running costs a fair bit higher than a 997 Turbo, not forgetting the probably depreciation. Seen a few on the net with major mechanical issues too  Nice cars for sure but I wouldn't own one.

I've seen people posting saying about the gearboxes going bang when they've had it in the brutal launch mode Dont think its covered under the warranty if it goes bang from launching it either?
