Nissan and Gran Turismo has announced the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo.
This will be delivered by a free update of the PlayStation3 exclusive use software “Gran Turismo 6” in July 2014.
The development of NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo was started by the style that the young designers of Nissan Design in Europe and London freely designed a dream sports car.
Afterwards, they incorporated the technical feedback from engineers of the Nissan technical center who received the design.
The development was promoted by the repeated collaboration of the design and the technology.
They have finished the car that shows the directionality of the concept model of the next generation GT-R model.
The price of Nissan GT-R
NISMO at 600 HP is US$144000 (15 million yen) but the Porsche 911 turbo S at
560 HP is US$234500 (24.46 million yen), and the Ferrari 458 Speciale at 605 HP
is US$315300 (32.9 million yen).
GT-R is very inexpensive car when you consider the specification.However, the support from the wealthy layer buying the car with the
excess of US$96000 (10 million yen) is not so great. I will explain the reason.
The GT-R is not sold much, though it boasts such a performance and the
price is inexpensive.
When you see the number of vehicles sold, it is less than half of Ferrari.
It loses to Porsche by as much as 50 times.For Porsche it has somehow limited the number of cars produced from the beginning,
but losing to Ferrari is regrettable for the Japanese.
However, I wish Nissan to keep continuing the production of GT-R by all
means.
I wish they make a full model change soon. It is almost 6 years from the
launch of the present GT-R. Ferrari has made the full model change in 5 years,
and Porsche did it in 6 years.
Nissan should not lose to others at this point. Continuance
is power. I wish the President of Nissan Mr.Carlos Ghosn to come and bat for
Japan.
[Conclusion]
I think that the problem of Nissan GT-R is that it is too cheap, and they
have to keep an eye on that. The wealthy layer are pleased when the price is high. The reason is that
they can feel proud with the high priced car.I wish that Nissan produces the next generation GT-R at US$19200
(20 million yen).
