Nissan's 473bhp twin-turbo supercar hits the UK 13 months before its UK launch Unless you've been living in a cave you'll have heard every critic raving about the R35 GT-R.
It’s the most eagerly anticipated sportscar in Max history, and to makematters worse Nissan aren’t officially releasing the GT-R into the UKmarket till March 2009. However, that’s not to say you cant get yourhands on one early…
Purchased back in December 2007, Ben Linney has already had his GT-Rbuilt and transported to the UK. Finished on the 6th December in theTokyo Nissan factory, Ben wasted no time in getting the 473bhpsportscar loaded into a container homebound for Southampton.
‘She arrived about a week ago, but bad weather prevented transportuntil now' says Ben. 'But we've got her, and it's an absolute beast! Itfar exceeds any reviews and i can't wait to take her to the shows.'
Ben's R35 is the first to land in the UK and is soon to be the firstmodified GT-R too. 'I've just ordered a set of 20in Advan F7 wheels, Ican't decide which titanium exhaust to go for but with the mines VX Romand some breathing mods power is proven to be 520bhp.'
From Japan, the GT-R costs £39,000 making it an absolute bargaincompared to its German rivals. Even when the GT-R officially lands inthe UK prices are expected to be around £50,000 to £60,000.
