Murano GT-C unveiled

Nissan teased us with a drawing of the Murano GT-C, but now we have in our mitts pictures of the real thing.

Looking even more mean and moody than the original picture, the GT-C has been developed in the UK at Nissan's technical centre in Bedfordshire.

It's only a concept vehicle at the moment, but let's hope the GT-C makes it into production because it has a turbocharger to help the 3.5-litre V6 engine realise 335bhp.

This sort of power helps the GT-C see off 0-60mph in seven seconds and head on to 140mph.

To keep up with the performance, this one-off Murano has uprated suspension and brakes to provide handling to match its go.

Finishing off the GT-C's dynamic and stylish look are 22in alloys, while inside a unique black and bronze lacquer is used on the trim.

As well as the Strathspey leather, there's a hand-blown glass gear lever and trinket tray in the centre console in tribute to the island of Murano off the Venetian coast in Italy.
