The guys over at CarAdvice got news of a Nissan GT-R fresh off the boat, on Australian shores. They also got snap shots of the second GT-R to arrive here. Apparently there is an importer bring them in for a sweet $165k. Though the GT-R can’t be registered, man it would be nice to own one of these budget super cars.

Imagine being the owner of a brand new McLaren F1, with its 0-100KM’s in around 3 seconds. Now imagine there being a sweet deal where you could get them for around $US70k each. That’s the kind of performance and value you will get if purchase the sexy new Nissan GT-R
To start check out this video by Edmunds on Youtube. It’s one of the first true play arounds a journo has had with it and too put it simply, it is a performance monster. The numbers speak for themselves with a 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds (.2 of a second faster then Nissan said it would be) and doing the sprint (AKA quarter mile) in 11.6 (same time Nissan specified). The GT-R is in super car territory for a quarter of the price a car comparable would cost.
Edmunds also loved its handling and said they could have got more out of it, if they weren’t scared of destroying it. Nissan seem to have done it again, and man do I want to drive (and own) one of these hotties.

Its great when people leek photos of their upcoming cars, and then they spread all over the internet. The latest car to be ’spread’, is the 2009 Nissan Murano.
Though there isn’t much know about the engineering of the car, such as engine sizes and other changes to the driving ability, the exterior of the car will only get a slight upgrade. From what can be seen, it seems not to be a major redesign, which isn’t to bad considering that the Murano isn’t broken (if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it). Picture of the interior in the whole article (compared to only part of the article which is shown on the front page).
