Super Light Nissan GT-R in Two Years?

Fast Lane Daily- snowed in edition – is reporting that there will be a super light edition of the Nissan GT-R at the end of its life cycle in two years.

 

Are they talking about a GT-R Evolution? I don't think its likely that the Nissan GT-R will be at the end of its life cycle in two years. The DBA is getting set to release in 2012.  The CBA was sold as a 2009-2011 model.  The previous cars, the R32, R33, R34 GT-R were sold from 1989-2002, with a similar driveline.  I would expect to maybe see something along the lines of the Z34-370Z.  Maybe a little smaller car, a little more displacement. Maybe direct injection?  If they went to direct injection, could we expect to see 560-575 hp?  The 2012 car is going to be rated at 530 hp.  Maybe a 7 speed transmission?
