Nissan took the unprecedented step of displaying this prototype in the UK when it ran the new GT-R in front of thousands of spectators at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

It took six months to convince the GT-R’s engineers and developers that showing the car in the UK and in public was a good idea. Japanese car companies are notoriously publicity shy when it comes to future models, but it’s been suggested that the GT-R was wheeled out to put a dampener on Toyota’s sponsorship of the event.

New shape clear even under heavy disguise

Large rev counter and the speedometer’s needle starts on the right-hand side of the dial, but still rotates clockwise.

This is Nissan’s first paddle-shift system

The new GT-R gets a six-speed semi-automatic ’box, controlled by fixed paddle shifts behind the wheel. It will be powered by a turbocharged version of Nissan’s new 3.7-litre V6, expected to produce 450bhp.
