Nissan's GT-R super coupe is set to be a star at next week's Tokyo motor show. So far, the best we've seen of the it are spy shots of prototype vehicles getting hammered around places such as Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, and along the famed Nurburgring race track in Germany.

That was then, this is now: Here's the new GT-R in all its un-disguised glory.

The reason you get to see it this week instead of next is simple--the embargo on information was broken by Motor Trend magazine which put the car on its December cover; an image of which was released to promote an award.

The Nissan GT-R will go toe-to-toe with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 Turbo. The GT-R's twin-turbo V6 gives it a startling 0 to 60 mph time of near 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. That V6 cranks out 473 hp and 433 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a rear-mounted transaxle. In between is a GR6 dual-clutch six-speed automatic you can operate via paddles on the steering wheel.

Base price is expected to be less than $80,000.

Hmmm.. might be a good idea to put any 2008 STI plans on hold.

I'm a fan of the technology and performance, but Nissan needs a better desigh team for the GT-R, the car is just plain ugly...

[Eismann]

:uptight:From any conceivable angle, it looked very much italian in design. I don't think ugly is the right word.

The only issue I have left with the looks is the awkward A-pillar.

I think the new grille and fascia is very, very nice compared to the initial prototypes. Much sleeker.

ANyway, the old GT-R wasn't really that much of a looker... it was what was underneath that defined the GT-R.

Design looks like it went back to the roots of the gt-r sans squarish sides. Get a Z then pull it a bit at all sides. Dunno but the Evo also has that black portion at front... looks like a design trend.

I like!
