Nissan’s GT-R is growing. Sources in Japan have discovered that the hi-tech supercar will soon be available as a four-door – and it’s set to wear an Infiniti badge.
The flagship will rival the Porsche Panamera and BMW M5, and it uses the same four-wheel-drive chassis and twin-clutch gearbox as the GT-R coupé. However, it will have a longer wheelbase and place an emphasis on comfort and luxury rather than performance. Instead of the GT-R’s twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6, the saloon will have the same 5.0-litre V8 as the Infiniti FX50 SUV, tuned to give around 420bhp. That should still mean a 0-60mph time of five seconds and a top speed of 170mph. Expect the Sedan to arrive in spring 2011. Nissan is really out to hunt Porsche.

Can you atleast drive it without voiding the warranty?
well if the nissan GT-R price tag gives us any inkling, this should be priced over 100k dollars wearing the infinity badge

What grandpa is going to blow a tranny in a 100K+ car????
I want to see that 5.0 tuned and put into a GTR. Might throw off some weight balances but I bet you could pump more ponies... I still say they should have made the car a standard transmission or at least had the option. Automatic is not as fun to drive. And the transmission in that car sucks apparently.

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.
