Here's how the i3 is made, much more detailed than the GT-R video.

Ahh..yes...I don't know why, but I didn't even think about the cars needing an alignment when they are built!

It's satisfying watching cars being assembled in the factory.

2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo Price Edges North Of $175k


Quote:
Remember when the GT-R was a bargain, offering supercar performance with a price tag in the five digits?

Well it still offers supercar performance, but now these days it comes with a supercar price tag as well – or at least much closer to exotic territory.

The Japanese automaker has announced pricing for the updated 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo, which comes in at a whopping $174,990, in addition to the $1,595 destination charge that puts the as-delivered price at $176,585. That's a substantial premium over the “standard” GT-R, which for 2017 carries a sticker price of $109,990 (or $111,585 delivered) – or about $25,000 more than what Nissan charged for the GT-R Nismo just last year.

That price difference alone could put a couple of Versas in your driveway, or cover most of the base price of 370Z. It also closely matches the sticker on Porche's 911 GT3 RS ($175,900 pre-delivery), and fairly evenly splits the difference between the 911 Turbo ($159,200) and Turbo S ($188,100).

For all that scratch, the 2017 Nismo GT-R still packs the same 600-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 as last year, but benefits from a stiffer chassis, retuned suspension, and the revised styling applied across the GT-R range.

The pricing was announced upon the GT-R Nismo's US debut this weekend at the Japanese Classic Car Show, held in the shadow of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

$175k? $70k for chassis upgrades? Gtfo.

You could have a GTR and a Corvette Grand Sport or Cayman for the premium of the Nismo.

Remember when the GTR was supposed to beat the 911 Turbo in performance and price?

Umm, what?

Why do all redneck driving presenters on YouTube have to do this retarded giggling it's so fake that it gets annoying.

Here's a real racing driver's perspective.

2022 Japan-only GT-R announcement in a few hours.
Could this be a final edition for the R35?

I’ve already seen pics of it. Small exterior revisions. Also millennium jade paint, ZE40ish looking wheels, and what appeared to be an M Spec NUR badge.

New limited-production ‘T-spec’ edition joins Nissan GT-R lineup

https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/rel...an-gt-r-lineup

September 14, 2021

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan today announced a special, limited production 2021 GT-R "T-spec" edition, which will be available in two iconic body colors and with a range of upgraded features.

Slotting in above the GT-R Premium grade, the new, limited-volume GT-R T-spec adds wider front fenders from the previous Track Edition, gold-painted RAYS® forged aluminum-alloy wheels and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Body-colored door mirrors, black hood ducts and T-spec badging complete the exterior changes. Also added are carbon ceramic brakes with brake air guides from the GT-R NISMO.

Most notable about the new GT-R T-spec are the two exclusive exterior colors – Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Millennium Jade was previously offered on the R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür, one of the rarest GT-Rs ever. With the name inspired by the Nürburgring racetrack, only 718 V-Spec II Nür units were produced – with just 156 carrying the Millennium Jade color. This is the first time this color will be offered on a GT-R in the U.S. market.

The new Midnight Purple is a modern interpretation of the Midnight Purple III from the R34 V-Spec, which was limited to 132 units, and the 2014 special edition Midnight Opal R35 GT-R that was limited to only 100 units worldwide (50 in the U.S.).

The T-spec interior includes a special "Mori Green" interior color, premium semi-aniline leather-appointed seating with pearl suede accents, quilted Alcantara® headliner and additional T-spec badging.

Under the hood, GT-R T-spec customers will find the legendary, hand-assembled twin-turbo VR38DETT 3.8-liter V6 engine, rated at 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque. The refined powerplant is backed by an advanced paddle-shifted sequential 6-speed dual clutch transmission with GT-R's unique independent rear transaxle ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system.

The 2021 GT-R T-spec joins the previously announced GT-R NISMO Special Edition with a very limited number of models available for sale in North America this winter. Pricing for the GT-R T-spec and GT-R NISMO Special Edition will be $138,4901 and $215,6901, respectively.
