I think this is abit pointless isnt the point of a GTR for it to be a focused performance car?

[Trev-the-Rev]

A case of trying to appeal to as many market segments as they can so as to recoupe R&D costs. I agree however, they should leave it alone.

The whole selling point of the gtr is what it can do around a track so why anyone would pay that amount of money for a spec m is beyond me. I think there'd be a good few cars i'd rather have for that money.

[Sarnie]

an extra £40k for different colour seats, wood trim and softer suspension?????????

They're probably backing away from that now given the VDC and pre-track/post track inspections uproar.

[Chesterfield]

Ahh so thats why I couldnt order a red car with the red leather trim and smoked wheels.

 

They are going to offer that combo with softer suspension and charge £40k premium for it - brilliant. Where do I sign

 

So far with the massive price, VDC, track inspections etc etc and now daft things like this for an extra £40k, the smart drivers money will be on a porsche GT3 I think.

In all honesty, I think it always has been. I have a nagging feeling that the GTR has been built right on the very edge of what Nissan can achieve in terms of durability and for that price point, and they're now trying to push away from the extreme sports market and target those that won't be taking the car on track at all.

Not the first time Nissan has made a M-spec (R34). Also, like the previous M-spec, there is no evidence it will see a UK release.

 

Edited for accuracy! Cheers nismo350z

Not the first time Nissan has made a V-spec (R34). Also, like the previous V-spec, there is no evidence it will see a UK release.

The V-spec was announced weeks ago this article is a bout an M-spec wich is a soft core version.

+1, also probably driven by customer comments as well. Remember those little customer care cards we get when purchasing new, asking for comments.

 

As Ekona mentions, there will be a good number of R35's that will never go anywhere near a track, well maybe to spectate, it might be more about the pose value.
