The Nissan GT-R is a sports car expected to be released internationally by the end of 2007 as a 2008 model. The prototype which the car is based upon was unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, as the GT-R Proto. The Nissan GT-R has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R range, but is a radical departure from the traditional GT-R formula. It will be separated from the "Skyline" nameplate and for the first time the car will not share a common body style with the sedan range. The evolutionary, incremental changes between Skyline models R32 through R34 have been done away with, with much more aggressive styling displayed on the concept model (see below). Underneath the body Nissan will also do away with the traditional straight-6 engine, and is speculated to instead utilize a twin-turbocharged V6 from the Nissan VQ or possibly VR family of engines.[1] The GT-R will go up against the Porsche 911 Turbo, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper and other high-end sports cars, and will slot well above the 350Z in the lineup.

Nissan GT-R
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Since its launch in 1992, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been building a reputation as the supercar slayer. After nine generations, this vehicle really has proved the theory of evolution. Already a legend, the next incarnation of the Lancer Evolution is set to be the ultimate high performance car.
Prepare to be amazed - again!
The Lancer Evolution X is the most comprehensive and dynamic performance car ever developed by Mitsubishi. It's a vehicle with styling that raises the bar on performance car looks and features innovations that are guaranteed to thrill.
At the heart of the Lancer Evolution X is an all-new all aluminium MIVEC equipped turbocharged 4-cylinder engine - a power train as serious as the flowing lines that surround it. The future Lancer Evolution X will also boast the next generation of Mitsubishi all - wheel drive - Super All Wheel Drive Control, along with the Active Centre Differential and Active Yaw Control systems from previous generations. Combined with Active Braking Control, Active Skid Control and Roll Control Suspension technologies - the Lancer Evolution X will feature one of the most comprehensive and advanced road-holding systems ever. Aluminium roof and body panels will further improve steering and handling to create a car that will be the very embodiment of "driving pleasure".
The new Lancer Evolution X will feature a choice of two transmission systems, a five speed manual and a six automated manual transmission with magnesium steering wheel paddle shifters offering lightning fast, paddle-shift actuated shifting when desired, along with a fully automatic mode. This unit is not a conventional torque-converter automatic transmission, but rather a true auto-capable manual similar to that used on some of the world's most notable performance models.
The Lancer Evolution X will make its global premiere on 25th October 2007 at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The Lancer Evolution X will be launched in the UK in early 2008
