I highly doubt Nissan would replace it's hand built and personally signed GT-R motor with a mass produced TT. That would cut the value of the GT-R by at least 30%.
Hey man I'm just looking out for the Z. It should get a twin turbo set up, I'm sure the Z fans are looking forward to it. I guess the VR would also be used then if it's less cost effective to have 2 twin turbo set ups in the market.
Or if Nissan doesn't feel like using the VR in the Z then it's out of luck
Well the Z already did share the G model's VQ, along with many other cars, so Nissan may put this new VR into the new Z as well. However I have heard rumors that Nissan may also use this new VR engine in the next Nissan GTR model. If that is true, i highly doubt Nissan will be using a premium level engine in 3 different cars.
The reason why the Q60 even got this new revised VR is because it's actually a skyline. Skylines and GTRs have always had an intimate relationship although Nissan has recently separated GTR and skyline GTR nomenclature.
So I'm not sure what is going to happen to the Z, if it will get the new VR as well, or a proper twin turbo VQ, like the VQ30DETT that was used in the 2001 JGTC for the R34. I don't know
The VR replaces the VQ and it will do so in future models as well. Regardless of Skyline or not. This engine along with that new 2.0t with the new variable compression and the 2.0t from the Benz will be the engines that power the Infinitis of the future.
As for the GTR, this VR will be the basis of the next GTR but will probably be bundled with a hybrid assist.
Oh awesome, I was thinking that chrome surround was actually a separate piece of trim not attached to the grill. If this is the OEM midnight grill or, hell even aftermarket, then combined with the CF package it would look really good!
The Red Sport Q60 AWD is showing up on the build page on the Canadian website...
The website is probably all screwy but right now the only package available is the technology package (which doesn't ask you add the DAS) and choosing the red interior automatically adds the tech package.
It seems that the RS in Canada will come with Drivers Assist and Premium Package standard......... I wonder if that means it will also come that way for the US? $61k Canadian means USA would be closer to $58k....... If you can get it in the US with out those options, then hoping $54k awd base?
61k Canadian to usa is like 47k but that doesn't mean anything.
i dont understand the excitement its jus the stock grill painted black. anyone can do it once they get the car. it would be very silly to pay $500 for it

True. Plus it would look much better with the chrome frame instead of it being all black.
Whomever is in charge of the Q60 is taking some inspiration from people who blackout their cars. Which explains the black and silver wheels. I'm surprised they didn't do the black time attacks on the lip, all black taillights, debadge rear trunk, and of course Volsen wheels, to finish it off.
For me it just means, should I chose to get the car, I could negotiate it in to the purchase price dealer installed instead of having to remove it and paint. I agree $500 is too much.
im surprised they brought the chrome window/door trims back. god i hate those. whoever still thinks chrome equals some kind of luxury needs to wake up. this aint the 80s or 90s anymore. no one wants that crap

I do. Black and Chrome is very classy. I would like to see what the difference is between midnight and obsidian.

Yeah that is none of those items that if you have negotiation skills that you could get the dealer to provide and install it for free. That with the carbon fiber package should make it look pretty slick.
