Too many references to the Miata. Now I don't like it, even if it does have a Honda engine in it.

I guess the S2000 is still the sports car of choice.

If it wasn't for the Miata the s2000 wouldn't be here.

I can't wait to see a Federal Elise.

Screw the Elise... in late 2006, the Infiniti GTR will own all.

The Infiniti GTR, the next version the Nissan Skyline GTR or more popularly known as "Godzilla" in Japan.

Nothing has been finalized yet, other than Nissan/Infiniti execs mentioning that Infiniti halo's car will be arriving in MY2007 and it will be the GTR. And it will be targetting 911's and 360 Modena's in term of performance.

Initial specs have it based an the VQ platform, powered by an V8 engine and electrically assisted twin turbos producing 400HP using AWD, the same AWD system found in the G35X Sedan and next year's G35R Coupe (maybe a precursor to the GTR). Rumored price ranges from $60K to $80K. If the specs hold true.

More info and concept pics from: http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/sh...sb=5&o=&fpart=1

I'm eyeing either this or the next gen NSX as my next toy car when I retire my S2000. But if the pricing will be less than the next NSX and higher performance levels, the GTR will be hard to beat.
