No longer a Skyline: the 2008 Nissan GT-R a huge hit in Tokyo - UPDATED, NEW IMAGES

A high-speed, high-capacity CARWINGS navigation system is available in Japan, with a powerful 30GB hard disk drive, featuring an easy-to-use touch pad, as well as traditional navigation switches. The screen interface features not only the navigation system, but also an entertainment system with a Music Box hard drive, DVD and CD player, and Bluetooth audio function.

The multi-function display also includes mechanical and driving information for safe high performance driving, including accelerator opening, brake pedal pressure, and steering angle. It also includes an “optimal gearshift map,” to encourage economical vehicle operation.

A specially designed BOSE sound system includes two forward-facing woofers in the rear centre armrest area combined with traditional door speakers. All speakers are mounted in rigid aluminium die cast panels, which combined with the design of the system itself, provide sound quality suited for a supercar owner.

The GT-R will be available mainly through Nissan High Performance Centres nationwide in Japan on December 6th. It will hit America in 2008.
