What do you do when regular pudding just isn’t enough? You get

. What do you do if Nissan’s AWD twin-turbo supercar that everyone is calling “Godzilla” just isn’t enough? You get the GT-R SpecV. The spiritual successor of the hakosuka hasn’t even cooled down from its Nürburgring laps yet and Nissan* is already unleashing an even more nutso version.

Nissan announced today that the GT-R SpecV will go on sale February 2, 2009 at just seven select Nissan dealerships across Japan. It chucks the GT-R’s rear seats altogether and replaces the remaining ones with special carbon fiber Recaros. In fact, the interior is swathed with carbon fiber trim, matched on the shiny by a carbon fiber grille, spoiler, and brake ducts.

According to Nissan, a new boost controller supplies greater torque in the mid-to-high range while - and we know this is imporant to you GT-R drivers - improving fuel economy. Exotic materials like titanium coat the exhaust system and the brakes are carbon-ceramic, hidden behind NISMO forged aluminum alloy wheels.

And, you can have it in any color you like, as long as it’s Ultimate Black Opal. It will cost Â¥15,750,000, or just under $170,000. Of course, all we care about is its ‘Ring time and whether it will cream the Porsche 911 Turbo. And whether Porsche will accuse Nissan of cheating again.

Well, with a price of about $170,000 I don't think my of us would have it anyway, even if it was american pudding .
