More than 700 UK customer deposits have been taken for the new Nissan GT-R in 48 hours.
Nissan UK has now requested additional supply of the £52,900 supercar to keep up with demand.
First deliveries are now expected in March 2009.
Paul Willcox, managing director of Nissan Motor (GB) Limited said: ‘Waiting lists are not unusual to have for a vehicle of such high performance, specification and value but there is a limit that people will be prepared to wait.
'In order to meet demand we are now starting to negotiate vigorously with Nissan Europe to secure further volume from our production facility in Tochigi Japan.’
