Probably, but only marginally. I'm pretty sure a tuned GTR would match or exceed its performance. Nice car but I think the $375K price tag is a joke, I appreciate that it's a design exercise and they need a halo car but who cares about the 500 unit production limit regardless of the fact that they will take a loss on every one produced (like the Bugatti, etc.) $200-$250K would have been a hard sell and even then, I doubt that rich enthusiasts would cross-shop this car vs. a 458.

On the other hand, some people may buy it just because it's expensive so it may be aimed at collectors and rich bastards who don't care about engineering, numbers, etc.

Pointless to riff-raff like me when $80K and change buys the same performance from a GTR.
