I seriously dont know why anyone in their right mind would spend $70 000 on tuning a used outdated unreliable e46 BMW. Better interior on and old e46? You have to be kidding.

Looks awesome.

Btw, will this car be cheaper than the Lotus Evora 400?

Exterior changes are not enough. Interior is MUCH better. This is what the interior should have been when this thing first hit the US market. I, of course, like the new orange paint.

Still fugly. Better, but fugly. Interior is as was said, stuck in the 90s. An improvement nonetheless. Exterior now looks hodge podge. Like we know we f'ed up, what can we stick onto it to make it look better. Design by committee, not an artisan designer with a vision.

Thumbs up

Say what you will... This vehicle right here... Re-Defined the "Supercar Game"!

She may not be the "prettiest girl on the block" but she sure does have what counts underneath...



I actually LOVE this color scheme inside and out!

Interior is still ugly.

And btw you need more switches, not less. Paint a few red, throw in a few switch covers, add a warning label or two. This is Godzilla, not a Prius.

Hope the next model is more like a jet than an iphone.

Seriously Nissan, just call Recaro since you completely failed at designing an aesthetically pleasing seat. Drop some Sportster CS in there and the entire thing would look different.

Reliable? Let's not forget the tranny issues when they came out.

The C6 Z06 was out before this thing & is still killing super cars to this day. No, not being a fan boy & I don't hate the GT-R.

Wish theres a brown bag big enough to cover this thing when you walk up to it and get in.

But I'd get one anyway.

It's funny that all the ///M folks are hating on the GTR saying it doesn't look good. That's okay 'cause you guys should only be worried about seeing its taillights.

Huh. I thought the 911 Turbo had been doing that for over a decade before the R35 came along.

Looks like the same old piece of sheet metal they've had for the past decade. Would be nice if they actually updated it.
