Officially, Nissan will introduce the GT-R at the Tokyo Motor Show on Oct. 24. Unofficially, the GT-R has already been spotted in Germany, California and Arizona. Recent spy reports from the Nurburgring clock the GT-R at around 7:38, roughly two seconds faster than the current Porsche 911 Turbo.

Now, that's a thight bet!
