Tease of the Day: Nissan's New GT-R Logo; Car Will Be Built at Tochigi Plant

As Carlos "The Jackal" Ghosn presided over the opening ceremonies of Nissan's new global design studio at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan yesterday he offered a quickie tease worthy of the best Las Vegas talent (and we don't mean Wayne Newton). Addressing the crowd, Mr Ghosn said of the company's new GT-R: "The all-new GT-R will be built at our Tochigi assembly plant ... and its unique, highly specialized, high-performance engine will be built at our Yokohama engine plant." While the speech gives away nearly nothing related to the GT-R's long-speculated mechanicals (twin-turbo V6? V8? Bell Ranger helicopter turbine?), he did offer a revamped logo badge. Oh well. Only nine months till the Tokyo show.
