GT-R Replacement Expected in 2013
Nissan already has plans to introduce next generation of its supercar beater, the GT-R.
At a recent meeting of the (GT-R) minds, Nissan Vice President of Global Product Planning, Andy Palmer, expressed to engineers and staff that Nissan was fully committed to furthering the GT-R brand and providing a kickass supercar on the (relatively) cheap. Palmer stressed the importance of the GT-R for Nissan, while stating that the next generation would be an evolution of the current R35 platform with the V6 layout expected to stay along with a power increase.
Nissan’s life-cycle of the GT-R is based on their benchmarking of the Porsche GT’s, so based on a 5-6 year product lifespan, the new GT-R should come in 2013. Nissan has made a car in the GT-R that is utterly awesome and we can’t wait until the next generation comes out, let alone the Spec V. Here’s to competition.

love the GTR but... it sure is ugly when lined up in a picture like the one above......
Sweetness. I love those shots, you can really see the evolutionary styling of this amazing car. I have seen a couple blasting down the streets. They look good, sound good, and they are good value for money. Boo too all naysayers who don't want to pay all that money for a Nissan. You should think about it as spending that money on a GT-R, and that would be money well spent.
It's great to hear Nissan plans to push ahead with its GTR the only question is will the R36 also be a world car or just a Japan and Europe car?
A 10 Second GTR! Yes, it will be available in the U.S like the Nissan Sentra Spec V R. The Nissan GTR is already faster then every Lamborghini & Ferrari, now it's going to match the fastest custom built cars all-time. More important, the grand tourer is going to have faster lap times retaining the #1 aerodynamics in the world. Wow! I knew I choose wise with Nissan & Hyundai.
