official press release:

Nissan's Sizzling 200SX is Now a GT

Nissan has announced the release of a GT Special Edition package for its sensational rear-wheel drive sports coupe, the 200SX.

The GT package is available on both variants of the 200SX – the S and the R – and adds an array of sports oriented features to the popular coupe, including leather and chrome interior details and a swooping rear wing.

Since its Australian launch in November, 2000, the Nissan 200SX sport coupe has blown its competitors out of the water in the performance and styling stakes – and the GT Special Edition variants offer the sports oriented driver an even more attractive proposition.

Confirming its position as one of the great sports cars, the 200SX collected one of the highest accolades in motoring when it became the first vehicle under $100,000 to win MOTOR magazine’s ‘Performance Car of the Year’ award last year.

A key element to this sensational performance car lies in the combination of a stunning 2.0-litre DOHC turbocharged engine mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or optional four-speed electronic automatic transmission.

Add to this a comprehensive list of standard equipment – air-conditioning, dual airbags, ABS braking system and remote central locking - and it’s easy to understand why the 200SX has received glowing praise from the media and general public.

The GT Special Edition 200SX adds even more features to both the Spec S and Spec R variants, including:

- Sporty front leather seat trim

- Leather steering wheel

- High performance rear spoiler

- Polished chrome alloy wheels

- Drilled racing pedals

- Chrome manual transmission finisher and chrome interior door handles

- GT grade badges

Recommended retail pricing for the GT Spec S manual is $42,990 and $46,490 for the Spec R manual. Both GT specifications will be available from May 1.

High performance rear spoiler...pffftt!

GT Grade badges...WTF!?

woop-de-do

The only possible good thing about Nissan Australia stealing OUR badge is that if you get one pinched off your car it will be easier to replace.

if Nissan Australia wants to REALLY put out a Ltd ed. they should start with the Jap engine transplant.

just my 2.2c other wise it's a "Gee? Tryhard"?, "Gay Tourer"?....

haha PranK i saw the add for the GT a few months back in a magazine, i was gonna put up a post here bout it but kept forgetting bout it!

what a rip off! i knew they woulda done something like that

[SkyDragon]

will give the interior the thumbs up, but as diduc said, a jap spec engine would at least make it worthy of wearing a GT badge... otherwise its a aussie 200sx with some riceboy putting skyline bagdes on it?!! :lol:

Another example of a marketing department coming up with some hokey idea to sell cars.

Like when they put mudflaps, headlight protectors and a spoiler on a car and call it the "Sports Pack". pffft!
