Hot on the heels of our world first picture of the GT-R, U.S. magazine Autoweek has released nearly a dozen more pics detailing the exterior and interior of the car have hit the web. From the outside, the car is exactly what you’d expect: dead sexy. On the inside, however, there are a few surprises.
For one, space is not at a premium - the trunk space looks immense for a car in this category and despite the heavily sloped roof line, rear seat room looks very good too. But the real surprise inside is the aesthetic detail. Black leather trim on black plastic with satin metallic highlights remind us strongly of the 350Z, although the cockpit is a little busier with the proliferation of steering-wheel mounted controls and center-console buttons and knobs.

The bright-red start button just behind the gear selector grabs the eye, as does the rather large GT-R logo in the center of the steering wheel. While it might be different in person, from the pictures we are beginning to understand just how Nissan managed to pack so much performance into so few dollars.

No more technical details than what were revealed on the leaked Motor Trend cover accompany the new pictures, but from what we can see, the “automatic” gearbox has a manual mode, and paddle shifters, which hints at a dual clutch system. The indicated redline is obscured by the angle of the photos, but seems to kick in somewhere north of 8,000rpm. Check out the pics in the gallery for yourself to see if you can find anything we’ve missed.
