This is what it looks like in the rendering and i think its finally a good looking GTR, 800HP , Hybrid, 100-150K but i am hopping its closer to the 100K, 0-60 is in the 2.7 sec range

Current one is already @ 100k. There is no way this new monster is going to cost only 100k.

If you're cross-shopping between M4 or GTR, you don't really know what you're looking for in a car...

Decide that first.

I am looking for a sport car with very nice exterior that can be a daily driver not a track toy or a garage queen in that price range

Not radically different from the current model. If it has 800hp, I would think 0-60 would be closer to 2 seconds flat. Premium would probably start around 120K.

so, u decided on the gtr ? i can guarantee that the gtr cost 2x as much as the M4. I would love that gtr with 800hp, but is it even practical these days?

The the beautiful GTR won't be so pretty when you wrap it around a pole!!! Wrong reason to get a GTR. The M4 is beautiful in person and for what you want as a DD it will be awesome

like most people said, in reality, the gtr will be twice the cost of the m4. different cars in different price brackets.

personally, I don't have the money to DD a 120k car with the type of maintenance and upkeep the gtr will require. nor would I. Id rather have a good DD and a real sports car for weekends and track, but JMO.

I got say the GTR is in a different league all together from the M4 and to get it is more of a wish than a reality for me. I saw the Picks and i got hooked a bit. It will easily be in the 120K range and thats like almost double the price of a stock M4. 800 HP is rediculous for the streets anyway and i will loose my liscence and end up in jail in no time if i am lucky or wrapped around a pole. This is all speculation but i am still likely gonna look into the GTR R36 used certified as a replacement of my M4 down the line maybe 80 K range in 2018. This will be a switch from a sport performance car to a true supper car.

Snobbish thing to say I know, but I couldn't put my 80+ neighbor out of my mind while walking to my car. He drives a Nissan (when ever someone tows him back to the road).

so then gtr is not the best choice for you. if your price range covers 150k, and want a nice looking dd, get 991c2s or audi rs7, jag f type coupe r. all delicious dds

I used to think the same thing, till I asked for a ride along at the track! The power and sound is intoxicating

Couldn't stop thinking about it, had to sell my M3 and get one.

Most people pull the Nissan badge off, and I often get people asking me what kind of car it is. They only sell about 1200 a year, not the 5-8k M3s that sell every year.

Have a listen.



Does that sound like a Nissan?

Well no, no it doesn't. And I would think I could tell the difference between my neighbors car and mine, so no worries about going to jail because of accidental loaning.

While on the hunt for the old version of M3, i did have a tiny crush on the R8 Audi, but the super car territory is not needed for my use now. the sad truth is that my car will be used as a shopping trolly. Unfortunately I don't use navigation systems, so getting lost is my only driving time. That's my usual excuse why getting a gallon of milk from a shop less than a mile away takes me up to 2 hours. The time spend was my main reason to order the M4, Milk has to be cold, so one must hurry back with the load ;D

Never heard that before, pretty funny

P.S. I answered yes to all three questions

Hope the M4 turns out to be a great car, and reliable on track. Could see myself buying one in a couple of years

The key is to hit the back roads first, that way the milk comes home ice cold, and not all shook up

Just tell her you had to park at the back of the lot to avoid door dings, that should by you a few extra minutes!

Oh your getting this all wrong. I'm the house wife! well for now anyway. But I use the milk and my fear of warm milk almost every night! The navigators also have weird problems all the time. I'm now scouting for good places to take my toy out, and I think there may be a day, where I just must try the Canadian milk. You never know if it's different! And near here, the state of Oregon is extremely known of their coast roads, they are filled with milk shops ;D

If I wasn't so whipped, I totally would even try to come up with better excuses, but now I just don't bother and go to the roads by night.

The most powerful car I've ever driven is my cousin's F12 M6. It's rated at 560 bhp. It is INSANELY fast. I told her after I brought it back that "I would be in jail if I owned this car". I can't even imagine 800 HP in a street car. I can barely (legally) use my puny 240 HP in my 328i on the street. That Nissan looks amazing and 800 HP is incredible, but I doubt you'll get to enjoy all the power without putting yourself and others at serious risk.

That said, the Nissan represents amazing bang for the buck, even if it cost $140,000 which it probably wont. With 800 HP and the right aerodynamics it should break into the 200's top speed!

I doubt many people will be cross shopping this car with an M4.

Then this or a C7 Z06 is for you.

I drove a GTR and knew it wasnt for me. I hit the track 2 times a year for fun and I have one car thats both my DD and track car. So, I will never be at the limit of a car because if I stuff it, I have to deal with fixing that car and needing new trans.

I don't know, both are 2+2 coupes that are nice and fast...but the GTR is obviously more expensive to purchase/maintain/modify. I personally think a lot of the brand prestige in the premium companies like MB, BMW, Audi have been diminished as cheaper cars have stepped up their quality and performance while maintaining great reliability.
