Next Skyline Pricing And Power Confirmed (?)

[Big Rizza]

From http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul....php?storyid=21

The next GT-R has been confirmed for release at the end of 2007 with a 3.6L twin turbo VQ based engine generating 450ps. But starting at 9 million yen (AUD$108,000) it won't be cheap...

Allow a good year or two following release in Japan before the first of these machines hits Australian shores thanks to the red tape of SEVS. So if you want one you may have to wait until about 2009.

Based on the price in Japan, it would cost about $150,000 to have one on the road in Australia. So it would be worthwhile waiting for 2 to 4 years for the price to fall to a more realistic level.

Give it 5 to 8 years, and the price should be in the $50,000 to $60,000 range like the current price of R34 GTR's.

Can someone read the japanese article in the link and tell me whether this is genuinely CONFIRMED? Or is it just more hyped up speculation? I noticed a question mark in the heading of the first page on the original Japanese article, so I got suspicious... I realise I might have more success in the Japan section, but I figured there would be potentially more interest in this section...

Also, the Prestige comments imply that the next GT-R will be eligible for import, in turn implying that Nissan Australia are not bringing it in! More speculation?
