The launch of Nissan’s GT-R has arguably been the biggest and most explosive automotive debut of the year. Despite its world reveal already at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and multiple stories, embargo breaks (we know, we know, we goofed) and other madness surrounding the vehicle, there was still a ton of interest generated at the vehicle’s U.S. coming out party today at the LA auto show.
As in Tokyo, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn introduced the car, this time a left-hand drive version, and made a couple of announcements surrounding the impending U.S. launch of the automaker’s distinctly Japanese AWD supercar packing 480 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6.
Pricing for U.S.-spec models will start just under 70 grand at $69,850, which is right in the ballpark with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Expect to pay a few grand more for the car’s premium package.
Pre-orders for the vehicle will begin in January, with first deliveries expected in June, so we suggest you head down to your Nissan dealer if you haven’t already and start bribing them now.
