There will be 160 high performance centers throughout Japan specialized in servicing the GT-R with GT-R specific mechanics (written in the preorder material).

The newest round of unconfirmed, yet plausible information comes courtesy of the GTChannel, where they've reported a number of facts that we've listed in all their bullet-point glory after the jump.

• The chassis designation will be CBA-R35, the last bit continuing the long-held R-number moniker of previous generations

• Three trim levels: Base, Black Edition and Premium – all equipped with the same VR38DETT twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6

• Everything fit within the engine will be forged

• Six exterior colors: Titanium Gray, Dark Metal Gray, Super Black, Vibrant Red, Ultimate Metal Silver and White Pearl, the last two are classified as premium paints and will command a few extra bucks.

• Two interior colors: Black or Gray, with black appropriately being the only color available on the "Black Edition"

• Rays forged wheels (likely sized 18-inches), coated in chrome and wrapped in Dunlop Sports tires. An upgraded tire and wheel package with gunmetal Rays wheels will be available on the base model, and standard on Black and Premium vehicles.

• Anti-theft and Bose sound will be an option on the base and Black versions, while standard in Premium trim.

• SRS curtain and side airbags will be an option on all three models

As for dimensions, it's been pretty much confirmed that the GT-R will be 4,650mm long (183-inches), with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm (110-inches) and a width of 1,920mm (75.6-inches). Power is still expected to be in the 450 to 550 HP arena, with a curb weight somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,500 lbs.

The only things that really bother me about those specs is the lack of a manual tranny and the record low value of the dollar right now.. If it continues we will be paying a lot more than $70K for this car in the USA...

NO MANUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are awesome Josh.

Any more information about the engine or the AWD system? Thanks!

So is Blue going to be available? Top list does not show it, second post shows it being very limited. Too bad we won't have more color choices. Maybe the US will get some more interesting colors.

Looks like no blue atleast initially.

No blue. The second post was pasted from Autoblog. So as you can see we are more correct than they I corrected it so there is no confusion.

One thing to note is these are Japanese Specs. There may be differences in other markets including colors, options, etc..

66K Not bad, not bad at all. Maybe I'll be able to afford one a few years down the road when used ones go for $50K.

Why did I have to go into education! why why why! *cries*

Has anyone posted this pic of the front fascia from the pamphlet yet?

Yeah in a few threads. I think everyone agrees it is some form of photoshop still. Note the carbon fiber bumper.

Is there any information in the ordering guide that anyone has seen that tells us if the transmission is indeed a double clutch system and not a traditional torque-converter automatic with wheel paddles?

not yet, but you can hear it shifting in the videos and it doesn't sound like a torque-converter automatic.

The shifts are quick.

I am waiting for this and like the paddle shifters..I have driven the Gallardo and Muricelago and the paddles made them exciting to drive...well I hope the tranny response is as fast though..

Anything new come out? I thought Japan was getting more information yesterday?

You gotta be fucking shitting me! So much hype and now.....reality. Fuck.

wow, you know what. I'm not saying shit or caring about shit anymore until the TMS and then I"m going to say if I"m a fan or not. All this 3500lbs and 480 hp and then no 3500 and 550 and then 3836 and 450 is driving me crazy. And I can't support and not support and support over and over again.

Trust nothing....I'll see you guys 27 days from now.
