Sales people at Nissan will be taking pre-orders for the new GT-R super coupe as of tomorrow, which means there will be official brochures packed with crucial details for would be buyers. Nissan has released a press release with some initial details, the only important piece of info being that the new range will start at around 7.8 million yen (US$68,000).

The guys over at NAGTROC, meanwhile, managed to score some screen caps of the new brochures, which revealed details about trim levels and the drivetrain. There will be no manual option for the GT-R and the new engine, dubbed the VR38, will displace 3.8L. One performance mod is an optional titanium muffler, which will shed up to 10kg of the car’s kerb weight.

The car will be available in three different trim levels, Base, Black Edition, and Platinum Edition. These are not the new performance levels rumored to debut with the GT-R, instead, they offer varying interior mod-cons such as a Bose stereo and heated seats.

Is it just me or does it seem odd that the GT-R doesn't come with a manual transmission with an optional automatic? Personally I would get the automatic anyways because traffic in my area is horrible so I don't want to sit there for an hour shifting gears twice a day but I still find it odd that it only comes with an Automatic transmission.
