i had hoped they would steer clear of anything looking like the g35...

budget constraints i guess.

LookOut Nick · 10-09-2006, 09:34 PM

looks very exotic to me..very super car oriented

TheWolf · 10-09-2006, 09:37 PM

slow!!!!!

postoshort

LB.Motoring · 10-09-2006, 09:42 PM

Looks good, they still have the g35 ish platform, but looks like a goodd direction

looks sharp

atom · 10-09-2006, 09:43 PM

I still hate the roofline. Everything else looks tasty though.

A Spec Products · 10-09-2006, 09:47 PM

looks pretty good

i dont like the wing tho

on those concept pics, they shouldve painted the black parts below the headlights and grill

i think that looks weird like how it is

LB.Motoring · 10-09-2006, 09:49 PM

yah should stick with the prototype wing

+1 The roofline looks partially evolved...yuck

LB.Motoring · 10-09-2006, 10:01 PM

oh and the mirrors... damn i just spotted those ewwie things >_<

BOROSUN · 10-09-2006, 10:33 PM

hot sizzle...
i wonder how much power its producing?

Drift Motion · 10-09-2006, 10:55 PM

i like the tail
but still not as sexy as the R34...sigh
and its GTR no more Skyline

qt_240 · 10-09-2006, 11:23 PM

i like it ..

TurDz · 10-09-2006, 11:51 PM

YEEEEESSS!! It doesn't look like the concept car anymore! They took styling points from it, and it looks like it was put into fusion with the R34 body style and stance.

I like it a lot. (And I hated the concept car).

The car looks very promising aerodynamically too.

*!Zar!* · 10-10-2006, 12:02 AM

This is one of the few, "concept cars" from this generation that I'm pleased with as a whole.

The roof line still has the jagged lines but I believe they will smoth that out.

EchoOfSilence · 10-10-2006, 12:16 AM

it looks like they only changed the front end and the mirrors

*exitspeed* · 10-10-2006, 07:46 AM

I still like the whole package. Yea, kinda G35-esque, but then again the G35 is sexy, sooooo...I actually like the roof line personally. Over-all i think this looks more like a $100k sports car then the R34 did.

*MELLO*SOS* · 10-10-2006, 09:43 AM

Appears i'm the odd man out here but... Yuck, it looks like a rx8 mated with a g35. I'll take an r34 over that trash any day.

*AceInHole* · 10-10-2006, 09:54 AM

I like my G35c, but if it can hang with the Z06 or Elise I may make the move from SCCA FS to SS (assuming it's classed there)...

*Yuri* · 10-10-2006, 10:55 AM

It's super hot as is.
I love the design, even the parts that some of you guys consider quirky.
Too bad I won't be able to trade my evo in on one, since the price is projected to be around $75k.

Rumor has it that it may be called a Nissan Skyline GTR in the US, due to name recognition.

They have commited to selling it as a Nissan GTR. The Skyline part though is not going to be included. At least thats what the last report I read said.

cisco240 · 10-10-2006, 11:15 AM

I like it. Wonder when they will finally come out though.

ladiesman8527 · 10-10-2006, 11:18 AM

....i want concrete engine specs...no more "likely" engine specs.

HyperTek · 10-10-2006, 11:53 AM

sweet i wonder if it will come with the roll cage heheheh

I think this car will grow on me. when teh z33 was introduced I wasnt too crazy about it, but now i love that car.

dam was that nurburgring?? musta been nice.. i hope someday i can drive on that road

LB.Motoring · 10-10-2006, 12:02 PM

they can bury me there!

I hope to roll on that baby at least once....

Cashizslick · 10-10-2006, 12:12 PM

This car looks great.

Ill buy one. . . so long as its a turbo model.

*exitspeed* · 10-10-2006, 12:13 PM

Update: Here's some shots of it ON the ring.

LB.Motoring · 10-10-2006, 12:47 PM

hehehe

sick rear tuck

S13 Charlie · 10-10-2006, 01:11 PM

Wow! That's all I can say! The still photos are ok, but when you see the suspension compressed in the action photos, woooo, makes me want to sell a kidney to be first in line to buy one. There are still a few funky parts to the overall design, but I have a feeling those will grow on me and become endearing features as time goes on. I don't mind that it'll be called the "GTR" although it would be nice to see "SKYLINE" on there somewhere, but it won't be long until someone in the aftermarket comes out with decent badging to add on there. Viewed close the wing does look funny, but in motion, it almost looks like it's floating above the trunk, with the two-tone coloring it has. My guess is that it's all Carbon Fiber, just color-matched on the top half. When this car comes out, it's going straight to the top of my list of dream cars. wow. As far as possible engines, just looking at the hood and the huge exhaust pipes, I'm willing to bet that it's a TT V8. Displacement maybe 4.2-4.5 liters? I can only imagine how much of a demon it would be with a few tweaks here and there, much like the holy grail RB engines. Oh well, i'm done rambling on. Thanks for the pictures, you've got me all excited about the GTR again!

Most reports state it will be a 3.7liter version of the new VQHR, but a TT version. So techinally a VQ37DETT.
