1.1 inches wider, 2.7 inches shorter and 90 pounds lighter than its predecessor. The sportier versions will come with a 332 HP 3.7L V6. Nissan is trying to consolidate platforms, so they ditched the old Z's FM platform in favor of their new E platform that sees a lot of use in the Infiniti lineup of cars. They have added automatic rev matching to their manual transmission in this version. Can you say F1? Oh, and if you want an automatic you'll have to settle for the 7 speed from the G37. Weight distribution is still at 54/46 front to rear.

Pretty sweet car if I do say so myself.

I don't like the front very much, but the rear is just hot. Here are more pics:

I like the headlights in the new TT better, and what's that thing in the back in between the exhaust tips?

Unsure, let me do some digging and get back to you. In the first pics I can tell it is anodized red, but not sure on the others.

It's a rear fog light, but only in Japan and Europe, because US regulations wouldn't allow a rear fog light in that location....so it's a black plastic piece in this market

my work is done lol. There still is not much of any writeup on these at all so i couldn't find it. Sorry Lita

I think it looks great, IMO.

No worries. It being a foglight makes sense, but I think it makes it look ugly, in general I don't care for the look of the back, oh well, to each their own.

eTiMaGo · 12-12-2008, 12:18 PM

I must admit I am not at all a fan of Nissan's new "boomerang" head and taillight design language or whatever they call it... but this car does pull it off quite well!

And the car itself sure seems to be a really good evolution of the previous one which was just badass already... so it's all good! Nissan FTW

agreed, they could have atleast plugged it with a color matching plug IMO, or a whole new bumper
