Nissan unveils the next-generation GT-R prototype
This is the prototype of the next generation Nissan Skyline GT-R which was unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. The next Godzilla will sport a Twin-Turbo VQ 6 cylinder engine paired with the state-of-the-art all wheel drive system. The car will be sold globally either in 2007 or 2008, with the latter being more likely. For more photographs, please visit AutomotiveArticles.com's Nissan Skyline GT-R Concept Gallery:

The design is pretty neat, very futuristic looking. A twin turbo VQ would probably put out some nice power. Probably 400-500 to compete with the American sports cars.

Re: Nissan unveils the next-generation GT-R prototype

Re: Nissan unveils the next-generation GT-R prototype
hmmm, not really my style, i like the rear. Thats the only thing that looks similar to the old skylines. Does look intimadating though. Does anyone know the price range it will be starting at?

is anyone else annoyed that it looks so much like the 350Z? i mean dont get me wrong, i like the Z, but its not aggressive enough to base a GT-R off of. i mean, i like how they made it look, but i think they should just put the 350Z in that body. they should make it a bit sleeker and meaner than the 350 body can be. it seems too oversized and bloated. I dont like the way nissan has been moving lately in their designs. seems like everything is bulbous and too spaceous like some of the old ford cars like the galaxies and such, i mean i know a ttV6 is going to take up some room, but i'm also sure they could make the car smaller and more agressive than it is. although, i like the idea of the engine, i still think they could have done better by creating a new one like how they started fresh with the RB series and such. my first question when it comes out isnt going to be how much it costs or how i can get one, but how i can turn any normal VQ35DE into a DETT, and how simple or expensive that would be. I'd rather buy a cheap VQ35DE and put a little elbow grease to turn it into a monster than shell out more to have it done for me.... but thats just me. it still excites me to know they are starting the GT-R again

Well, it looks alot better than the old prototype but I still feel that the older GT-Rs were classier. Maybe my opinion will change when it grows on me.

i've been to japan
i was in japan summer of 2005 and bought a few car magazines.
the new skylines are ALL rear wheel driven, even the gt-r. the g35 infiniti is the new skyline minus what the epa does. the VQ35DE is the engine in the new fairlady z and the skyline. the VQ35DETT is in the 2007 (Supposed) Gt-r, and is obviously twin turbo, supposed to make around 450hp. the main difference between the fairlady z and the skyline is luxury now. the skyline has a backseat, the z does not. which means the z weighs less. which means a new fairlady z with a VQ35DETT would smoke the new GT-R. i think. THEY ARE BOTH RWD! AND GODDAMMIT WHERE IS THE JAPANESE STRAIGHT 6 THESE DAYS! DAMN YOU EPA! DAMN YOU! |

How would the people fit in the back of that GT-R? lol
If the things you say are true/very close to the truth then I don't know what to think of this new "GT-R". We just have to wait and see, I suppose. |

Re: Nissan unveils the next-generation GT-R prototype
Sweet, this is one great looking car, I could care less about people being in the back seat, front is a great looking design. Another winner for Nissan if it goes into production.
