2009 Skyline GT-R Spotted at Goodwood

2009 Skyline GT-R Spotted at Goodwood

GOODWOOD, England — Nissan is doing its best to create an uncanny aura that has already surrounded the much awaited 2009 Skyline GT-R, frustrating many enthusiasts in the process with its hush hush approach to what may be one of its many public stints.

Despite its numerous runs, Nissan made no effort to publicize the effort. In fact, the GT-R was conspicuously absent from the event announcer's script. Every other car was formally introduced prior to its ascent, including the Audi R8 that went before the GT-R and the Ford GT that went after. When the GT-R appeared at the starting line, however, the speakers went silent and it took off in silence.

And we mean silence, as the GT-R was virtually inaudible compared to the rest of the field. It was enough to compel spectators to ask each other, "What was that thing?"

The GT-R made an unexpected appearance last weekend at England's Goodwood Festival of Speed, completing the hill climb in the rain twice on Saturday, and another two more times on Sunday.

On Sunday, it appeared as if Toshio Suzuki, the test driver doling out the GT-R time attack runs at Laguna Seca Raceway in USA, was doing the hill climb.

The wait continues to be a frustrating one!
