yeah that's the pic of what everyone thought it would be like, very much like the drawings and all...if you ask me...i like the older style better, then again it's always a matter of getting used to it. Once you see it in real life and a lot more, you get used to it and it grows on you.

Yup. Damn that looks like a better Skyline. I'll try to see what that is.

If your talking about this:

That's the Skyline..Not the GT-R. There 2 separate models. 1 is the Skyline which is shown above, and the other is the GT-R which is shown on the bottom. So don't confuse them both.


EDIT: Does that solve your confusing problem?

That is the concept model, far from production spec....that was posted a few time here already...you can run a search for more/better pics of that GT-R.

darknightohio, the one you post is only artist sketch of the concept GT-R BEFORE the actual concept vehicle came out...that was at least 3 years old...

I was reading CAR magazine which interviewed the creator of the Skyline, Mr. Tamura. He says the car is in safe hands (Nissan's Engineers) and that it will be a true Skyline. He also states that the concept, the pic that was posted with the weird front was just that, a concept. So don't expect it to look like that. No inline turbo six due to the intake being on one side. Since the next Skyline is a global car it was impossible to use this engine with a right hand/left hand drive platform. He did not disclose whether it was a V8 or V6, turbo or non turbo.

try not to laugh too hard, but i like. like it was said, it's a concept car. as far as concepts go, this one looks pretty sweet. sorry if noone agrees. i think itt looks like a 350z on steroids. really sleak, still really sporty, although a far, far jump from previous skylines. just my .02

I read that article in CAR a couple days ago. Using an inline six cylinder isn't technically impossible, it would just be very undesirable because certain costs would basically double because of the left and right-hand versions that are necessary.
I would love to get the next GTR. I think it will have a TT V6 or a a NA V8.

Daaaaah. We've seen so many shots of what the new GT-R should look like we have about as much clue as a blind man. When Nissan shows me it, then I'll go with that. Like the USDM Evo, people got close, but never had it just right.
