This HAS to be like the first new sports car that the engine is completely covered up with plastic crap.
I <3 Nissan.

kinda underwhelming in the looks dept. should have just rolled out the proto as the production model. i guess i should wait to judge it till i see it in person...
I'm just not really digging on Nissan not honoring their past in their designs lately. this car dosnt share a single design element with the R34 other than the quad round tails... I prefer evolution of design to revolution.

I beg to differ. This is a complete evolution. Same coupe layout, AWD, TT, 6 cylinder, but now it's it's OWN car. And now it's evolved into a REAL supercar to compete with the worlds best. If it would have been more of the same of the R34, then it would have just been an update, and it wouldn't be able to compete with the worlds super cars like this new GTR can.
People here in America only swoon over the GTR's of the past because we never go it here. Yea it's a tunable moster, but this thing is bone stock and will blow the doors off of most tuned GTR's. Imagine what the aftermarket has in store for it!?

im not saying just bring out a facelifted R34. Im saying that the design lacks "GTR DNA" just like the 350Z lacks "Z DNA"
there are no design elements that make this car uniquely GTR, apart from the quad round tails. It may be an evolution in it's layout, but it sure isnt an evolution of design.

I might be missing something to your point but DNA are like Blueprints. IMO a GTR's blueprint is: AWD, TT, 6 Cylinder, coupe, god among Japanese GT's. I don't see how this doesn't fit the bill?

He probably was expecting more squared off styling.
To date...the only car I can think of that has a distinct shape that everyone knows and has evolved nicely is the Porsche 911.

Nice thing about it, is it will be beating a shitload of cars already out, STOCK.
I love the way it looks. I prefer this front end over the concept/proto "crying" style. |

^ ditto.
Love the engine bay pic and OHH EMM GEEZZ look at all the pretty buttons on the steering wheel. Any chance of sourcing a really nice interior shot? Test drive is a must for one of these, even if it's only a base model. |
