Thanks to Scott Martin for these photos and the videos.

Thanks to John Fuggles for the information.

* Engine still unknown, but definately did not sound like a V8 - too quiet, too.

* Redline at 8000rpm

* Paddle shift, either six or seven speed

* Rumours of three derivations initially not confirmed, but there will be different versions over time

* New 'Super MFD' - advanced controls relating to the set up of car

* Wheel sizes unknown - thought we could read from pics but they appear 20"

* Has apparently been designed to be driven to the shops but without compromising it's on-road capability.

* More testing at the ring later this year and summer testing in arizona desert

* Japan and USA first for deliveries

* Europe will have it before July 2008

* Two main markets for Europe: Germany and UK

* Over 40 people in the UK have put depsoits down already (inc 1 premiership footballer)

* Official dealers in the UK - up to five, will be announced VERY soon.

* GTROC will be taking £1k fully refundable depsoits on behalf of the dealers as soon as we can agree T&Cs and get it in the shop

* Price itro £55k

* Official unvieling at the Tokyo motor show this year.

* This car is the new grey, there is a new silver coming out, bayside blue may be dropped as a colour

* The test driver was a French VP of Nissan and he thinks it will be a smash hit

* Test driver commentted that Porsche have a lot to be worried about (sure, haha smile.gif -cem)

* It has been top speed tested in Germany at 180mph and was - "very stable"

* Other test drivers have desrcibed it as "frighteningly quick" and "very smooth" certainly from the way it pulled away it was effortless.

* Interesting clutch arrangement meant it had trouble staying stationary in gear (or maybe that was an issue not yet ironed out)

* The Chief Designer (met him as well -Fuggles) said it will be difficult to modify a lot because it is very complex

* They want to keep the front secet and it was suggested that what was underneath the camogflague was not the finished article anyway

* The information was on the goodwood website but was removed later

* The GTROC was asked to be discrete about the new car prior to it being shown but now it has had its forst public showing it is fine to puiblish details and photographs

* Option magazine came to Goodwood on speculation, having heard a rumour. The GTROC was on hand to tell them where it was and the route is was taking out of the garage and the route to the hill.

* The GTROC is already working on the UK launch with dealers and Nissan and will be involved

* The GTROC is meeting Nissan in October (in Japan) to discuss other ways the club and Nissan can work together

* Rear seats have sub holes (ICE?)

* 3 buttons on dash: "T", "S", "V"

* Bose sound system

* Gauge: 340kmh

* If you notice in the pictures the rear wing is different again: so looks like they're still testing rear wings

* Front lights are currently the same as the prototype

* Steering wheel has other controls on it such as stereo etc.

* There appears to be a lap timer as well linked to buttons on the wheel

* It appears also to have cruise control, proving it is a tourer/every day car as well as a track beast

* Door handles have a push in button for them to pop out to pull on

* The car at Goodwood has different aero parts to some of the other models seen at the Ring, not just the rear spoiler

* Quad exhaust system to mirror the twin round lights

* Brembo 6 pot callipers

* Bridgestone Potenza RE070

* Satellite Navigation screen in with MFD

* Steering wheel still has the R34 GTR look and feel

I am loving this

Cheers,

Steve.

[BaysideBlue]

awesome!

nice multifunction steering wheel. does it come with heated seats?

[Rezz]

99% cool. I just think those A-pillars and roofline will look out of date very very soon.

[West]

So FKING COOL,

Now i don't want a 33 anymore, maybe save harder for a 34 so i won't look so much out of date.

[Nismo_God]

[heslo]

Thanks for the update R32_GODZILLA & GTROC UK.

Good video too. Enthusiast in crowd: So are Porsche going to be worried? GTR Driver: "They might be yes"

I just found out about the GTRs appearance at Goodwood and was pleased to see the pics and video here. The pics and video are quite good. It will be interesting to see if they actually do much to the front or the rear -of the car, I expect anything to be minor since they released all those proto pics a while back - it can't be to easy to make completely different fronts and rears to complement/go with the dominant side profiles of the vehicle!

The price is pleasing also (55000 pounds which is around $125,000 AU plus whatever), but with the numbers that the car would probably sell here in Oz it might take a fair while for them to become available on the 2nd hand market.

I'm actually beginning to agree with others and think it might be better if AU doesn't get it officially because thats it around the money that a R34 GTR was worth - it shouldn't take too long for a grey market to appear .t

nice info and pics.

f#cking boring video tho

[dineth]

the interior looks really boring...i love the ca dont get me wrong but the interior will get out of date really fast!

[SS8_Gohan]

^ ahh the interior is covered in like a black plastic/vinyl to hide the design....

[Fuggles]

Here are some more pictures. Sorry for the delay but life tends to get in the way of the really importnat stuff

There are some more as well coming soon

Hope you enjoy them

[NISZILA]

I got some serios saving to do... i gotta get me one of these... even if it takes me a few years before I can afford one *drool

[Fuggles]

Here's another video for you:

[inark]

sweet... but are those gauges and dials going to stay? for the price theyre pretty unimaginative and boring... looks like an R34 GTR... so 1999, future it up a little

even the new american cars like camaro and mustangs are better looking then that.

[Fuggles]

Yep looks like they're here to stay. More photos from the launch when we get back
