reports have it 10% lighter than a 350z whose curb weight is 3339...so right around 3000 lbs. Basing this off the info I found at Edmunds

The payoff, claims Nissan, is that while the GT-R's body has 10 percent more surface area than that of the Nissan 350Z, the new car's body-in-white is actually 10 percent lighter overall. And the GT-R has an almost ludicrously slippery 0.27 coefficient of drag (Cd).

Sounds sick.

I read that as the unibody, not the overall vehicle

I spoke with the Sales Manager at Gateway Nissan yesterday and he said that there will be 1500 per year and they will only be 'pre-sold'. Deposit is $5000 and you get to pick every option (color, interior, etc...). Pretty darn nifty if you ask me!

Also, exhaust manifold and exhuast housing on the turbo are casted as one piece. claims that it improves efficiency. Thust making upgrading a costly thing being you need 2 turbos, 2 manis, and 2 new DPs. From what I understand unless ghetto mods are done, that is the only way to upgrade turbos.

When one hits the states, the 1st dealer that gets most of this stuff. has a person or 2 on the huge 240/Z car site, Complete inside/outside/underbody pics will be posted. Ill get them on here.

I am pretty pumped about this car 0-60 3.5 and 1/4 in 11.7.

I bet there will be some sweet aftermarket for these.

No. That's what Audi does also, but that's not something you can do when the transmission, center diff, and rear diff are all at the back of the car.

Fascinating. I noticed the offset shaft in one of the other underbody photos, but the exhaust was in the way of the center-shaft, so i didn't see the 2 parallel shafts. I just figured the offset shaft was the driveshaft from the conventional transmission to the conventional rear diff.

[grumblecakes]

Nope

It's excellent.
