2008 Nissan GT-R Skyline Concept Spy Shots

Spy photographers caught some pictures of the Nissan GT-R concept taking laps around the Nürburgring this week in Germany. due to be released as a 2008 model in Japan, the GT-R Concept is said to be powered by a 3.5 to 3.8 Liter Twin-Turbo V6, and carry over 450 hp.

Pricing is expected to be in the range of $70,000 and will be released in America shortly after the Japanese launch. I often hear comments such as “why would someone spend $70,000 on a Nissan?” Well, I suppose for the same reason that people spend $80,000 on a Dodge (Viper,) $70,000 on a Chevy (Corvette Z06,) or $80,000 on an Acura (NSX.) For some reason those cars seem to slip people’s minds. Chevy and Dodge are not premium brands, and people still buy their $80,000 cars. Gallery after the jump.

The only question to ask myslef now: Is it this or the Infiniti Coupe Concept?
