The 7-speed GT-R just came out at Tokyo motor show and the concept is hideous! is going to be 400+ hp though!!

Agghhhh I'm blind.
I thought the new WRX looked bad with those Neon style headlights, but this is even worse. Guess it only matter what the back looks like though, cause that's all anyone is going to see

CVT = continously variable transmission...
As far as pricing I rememeber there was an article in C&D that said the GT-R is going to be around 50K, so I guess is going to compete with the Corvette, M3, S4...

Go to www.howstuffworks.com..they should have a more info...
Its basically the concept that between two gears there are infinite gears (like between 2 numbers there are infinite numbers), so the engine can choose from infinite gears and deliver optimum power

Doesn't nissan in japan offer a CVT for the Skyline (G35)??
I believe it has way more than 200hp

Before the A4 CVT transmissions were only used in small displacment compact cars with less than 100hp. I believe at one point honda and subaru have offered CVT transmissions.

I like the GTR concept. The rear looks more like a Ferrari than a Corvette.
Here's some information about the CVT.
-It doesn't use steel belts like other CVTs.
-It's a half-toroidal CVT, using spinning discs that transfer the rotation from the input to the output side. The angle of the discs is changed for other gear ratios. If the discs go straight across, that's 1:1. There should be info on the web, search for JATCO.
Here's a link that explains how it works:
Half-Toroidal CVT
This picture shows how the ratio changes:
Ratio Change
-There's a highly viscous transmission fluid that stays between the discs and the half-toroid to prevent metal on metal contact.
-It's offered in Japan on the Skyline as something like a $5000 option, and Nissan still loses $5000 on it, just to get it into the market.
-I have a coworker that test-drove the Nissan Gloria with this CVT, he said it felt very smooth and powerful.
-The 7 discrete speeds exist just for driver familiarity. The CVT can be run in infinitely-variable mode to optimize the powerband.
