The GT-R is back! 500 hp Twin-Turbo V6, AWD, 7-speed Sequential Transmission. But… Nearing 4000 lbs? All some very cool stuff, except for maybe its weight. It has been speculated to give Porsche a run for its money.

It definitely has the looks – it seems to have gotten rid of the runny-mascara look of the old prototypes, even though the mask is on this one. There is certainly enough hype for this iteration of the GT-R to challenge Porsche. I guess we don’t know how cool this car can actually be until the official Nurburgring times get released, or at least some official 0-60 and skidpad numbers. The Nissan GT-R is not here yet, but the hype sure is.
