Default Nissan Turbo version of 350

From this week Autocar

Nissan Skyline GT-R

On sale 2007

180 mph 0-60, 4.5sec

Nissan has already confirmed an encore to the legendary Skyline GT-R - but we will have to wait another 3 years before it appears. "Development is on schedule and it is being engineered to claim its place among the world's elite sports cars", enthuses Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn. Power for the new Japanese supercoupe' will come from a turbocharged version of the 350Z's 3.5 litre V6, delivering some 400 bhp.

The "CAR" magazine, here is South Africa, said it will be here in 2005!?

They also have a photo of the car - it looks very close to the Z...

The engine is twin turbo charged... yummy!

How Much, well they are suggesting GBP60k, so lets say twice as much as a Z with everything in the way of options.

Photo I saw was from the back and looked more angular.

I really love my Z, but for the same money I'll buy a C6 ZO6 and get a superior level of performance.

I'm guessing it'll be 50K~60K too, since that's what the previous GT-Rs cost in Japan

If this is true, it completely dispells any rumor of the Z getting FI within the next 6 years at least.

I wonder if the TT will fit in our engine bays...? Factory warranty if put on a Z? That'd be da sh!tznik.

This is the magazine BOiler was referring to, but it says it's to go on sale in 2005. Might just be Japan, though.

Kinda crappy image, I can't tell if it's a mockup or real picture. Looks a little too close to the Z to be real, I think.

Err... I didn't say this is the article that Boiler read, only that this is the magazine (Autocar) that he was referring to. I assume there's something more current in whichever issue he had; this has a cover shot, though, and so I posted it.
