over to the dark side :-)

well my order has been confirmed for April 09..
It looked awsome in the flesh and the stuff Nissan are putting on for buyers is 'customer experience' heaven.
the goodies they've sent me include:

- private login to web to keep up to date on all activities and what stage in production the car is in :-)
- An invite to silverstone to do 15 laps in it - I go next week..
- A tailor made helmet for the event and you get to keep it (they sent a funky tape measure through the post to measure your head with and send them details) - cool
- 24/7 freephone customer care - it's more like a privelleged concierge service
- An invite to their open night for the UK - with food layed on

and I'm sure a lot more to come.

What great service Nissan - you have created a new 'yard stick' for customer service/interaction

And a pic of the my current drives - which I'll be getting rid of to make way for the GTR :-)

enjoy

Was it a Darth Vader helmet??? JK

Really nice cars, seen a few on the roads now and I brought 2 over earlier this year from Japan for people. It is impressive in the flesh, quite nice inside and full of gadgets and guages to keep all that type happy!

However, On a personal level I'm not a massive fan, it is quick and drives beautifuly but I dont think its a real drivers car like the NSX, Its also one of those cars that you either think looks nice or it doesnt, unlike the NSX which even after 15/16 years still looks amazing and I have never heard one person say otherwise. But its all down to personal opinion I guess. I would however take the GTR over the NEW BMW M3 lol.

On a size comparison the GTR is huge comapred to the NSX.

That picture comparison says it all, even though the car is seriously quick functionally, its not a great looker and looks lardy! Also white does not suit it! Suits the NSX tho!

Congrats buddy.. A totally different kind of car to the NSX - but one that truly deserves respect for the level of engineering and commitment by the Nissan workforce.

Maybe we'll see the new NSX on your drive too in years to come

Thought this was a great display of the GTR at the motor show showing the structure of the car

[Senninha]

Are those RE070's on the 'new' GTR? If yes then again shows Honda were correct in the thinking for the 'old' NSX-R

[dan the man]

congrats senna 786. Id have one in a shot.. not exactly a lada riva is it.

Loving the pic of the chopped up GTR too

[craigdonnelly]

Congratulations, I'm jealous!

The more I read about the GTR the more I love it! It is basically the fastest car in the real world for £50k! EVO & Autocar tested it against the 997 Turbo & GT3 and it was faster than both. The V-spec model is supposed to be quicker than a Carrera GT!

Any car that humbles ALL Porsche's for half the price is fantastic especially when they make Micra's.

Sadly its not all good news for the World beater (despite Nissan's attempts to hush it all up )

Hopefully you will have none of these issues as a UK import. Saw one in black and would have to say its the best color for disguising its bulk

Truly hope it lives up to your expectations as a drivers car.

Would have to say that the customer care is what you ahould expect when spending £50k++
