Hopefully its just based on the high demand, and to throw this kind of money towards a Jap sports car, even for a stock motor (although admittely the fastest stock engine to date)- is nuts. The car should be KD18000 which is is 257.000 AUD, according to Wheels magazine (based in Dubai). Point at hand too is that the GT-R is available only through officially certified Nissan dealers that have met a number of strict sales, service and facilities commitments, including dedicating a master technician to GT-R service which could be why there is such a huge price increase, because I doubt the average mechnic would be capable of servicing this car. Pick up a second hand one for KD11,000 instead and follow a cult :) And to set the record straight, 1,700 of these 450HP beasts were delivered to the US post July 7th and have been availabe in Australia since last year already.

GTR is really one mean racing machine. There was a rumour that this car was banned in Kuwait because it was considered dangerously powerful. Any thoughts on that anyone?

It will arrive the UAE mid july and will be sold for AED42000 (KD30,000) So we might be expecting prices to go up for a while before Supply is sufficient One drawback though is that they are all US Specs, even the ones from the dealer Mark- the guys told me the GTR your seeing costs 23K..
