2010 Infiniti GT-R

There were first rumors saying that the GT-R will be badged Infiniti. Now after it was launched, and turned out to be a Nissan after all, the company confirmed there will also be a Infiniti version of the GT-R.

The decision was made in an effort to consolidate Infiniti’s place on the sports-car market.

The 2010 Infiniti GT-R will be powered by the same 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 "VR38" engine found in the Nissan GT-R, but the output will be raised to 500 hp.

Stay tuned, more details will follow. At the moment, the company only confirmed the existence of the model.

This is so bloody unfair!A luxury Infinity GT-r with 500 hp while the perfomance Nissan GT-R has 480hp.I know that the Infinity will have lower figures performance-wise(It will do 0to60 in 4 sec or more) but Iam still pissed with Nissan for doing that, although Iam not complaining about the GT-R. It is still my favourite car.

I second the request for your sources. A 500 HP Infiniti GT-R just does not make sense.

A four door version would seem more logical for Infiniti. But if they were going to rebadge a GT-R coupe, they should at least change the styling. Where the Nissan is sportier (Porsche competitor), the Infiniti GT-R should be more luxurious (Aston Martin competitor). That would make more sense. I just hope they would do better styling/rebadging job than Ford’s products.

It would be a good idea to have the new Infinity ’GTR like’ to be a 4 door version. That would put Infinity right there next to the Maserati quattroporte and the Porsche Panamera. That would be a great highlight for the brand.

First, where is your source on this one? Second, if this is even close to being true...then excuse me while I puke.

Just the other night, I was out with the family. In the parking lot of the local Joyful Honda, there was parked off by itself a single gunmetal gray GT-R. We actually veered off course to go circle it. After that close up look, all the reluctance I was having washed away. We agreed then it wouldn’t be so bad to have on of the new models. But, if they actually deform and shame what the GT-R is, and the heritage that has led up to what it is today. All that would cheapen and dilute what the GT-R should be.

Maybe I’m just a purist and stuck in my way...maybe I’m wrong and this is all just one big Greek tragedy, but any other form of the GT-R is just plain wrong.

that don’t make sense when they talked about a four door version of the GT-R that made sense but another 2 door with the same name for different brand reminds me of the early neon (plymoth, dodge)
