finally !!!!!!!!! someone agrees with me i NEED to have sound when acclerating the sound of a big v8 is music to my ears. the car may be quick and all but it needs when accelerating as for it having a sound like a souped up r/c car i dont think you would want that mine is loud ( electric ) and you would probably get pulled over for noise violation or something

Damn, that's one fine looking car. Gotta love those lines.

I guess Nakamura was telling the truth when claiming that the 'concept' shown at the Tokyo Motor Show last year would be around 90% of the production model =)

if it doesnt have atleat 500 hp then i dont like it ( stock )

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 10 Oct 2006, 23:29

I think 450 is fair to expect thus giving it some advantages (on paper anyway) in competing with for instance the oh-so-gorgeous Audi R8. That and the 911 (997) Turbo in the background *may* hint at the possibility of very nice and competitive figures, seing as the Turbo is one hell of a car in terms of performance!
If not, you just give it a corresponding amount of stickers and decals to compensate for the lack of horsepower (I swear, that joke never dies

)

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 10 Oct 2006, 23:43

IMO i think it needs at least 500 hp to compete with the 911 Turbo and Audi R8 which i hear will be getting a v10 with 500 hp

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 10 Oct 2006, 23:47

Because I have nothing better to do...

I don't particularly care for the looks.

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 10 Oct 2006, 23:49

It has been confirmed that the R8 is initially to have its power delivered by a V8 kicking out around 420 bhp. As far as I know, the R8 with an (I think, altered Gallardo-)V10 has only been rumoured to come later.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 10 Oct 2006, 23:53

car and driver is saying there will be a 5.2L v10 available a year after the release with out put nearing 500 hp http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/1 ... di-r8.html

All the same, I dont care that it's a yuppie-mobile, but I'd have the 911 Turbo over it anyday

Woho looks great IMO best skyline ever!

I here tell of a 2009 RX-7 codename J77... That's about it, though...

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 14 Oct 2006, 09:18

If they make some futuristic crap it will probably make all RX 7 lovers do O_O
I am 50% sure that will be crap!

Wow, the Dutch police has a new car:

A Spyker! Cool!

bashderq · Post by **bashderq** » 15 Oct 2006, 13:02

Haha, any criminal in a half decent car would be able to out corner them. Besides, wtf are the cops gonna do with a 'smoking jacket' car? I really cant imagine all that fancy interior upholstery and chrome coming in handy to catch thugs.

Tyrant · Post by **Tyrant** » 15 Oct 2006, 13:09

I think it's just a stunt by Spyker, and the car is not really getting used. But it looks cool lol.
