Nissan is readying an extreme GT-R for the UK. The Club Track edition is already on sale in Japan, and Kazutoshi Mizuno – who’s led the GT-R project since it began in 2007 – says it could come here.
The car would get the standard 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6, plus slick tyres, adjustable suspension and a stripped-out cabin with a roll cage. A price of around £80,000 is likely.
Plus, buyers can pay £25,000 a year extra to take part in a one-make race series, with one-to-one tuition from Mizuno. If that’s too extreme, the standard 2012 GT-R has a track pack option, which ditches the back seats and adds high-grip trim, plus adjustable suspension. However, power is unchanged.
