This car is SEX

One can revel in astonishment at every curve and gorgeous line of the vehicle and minutes later recall that his mouth is still draped open... with salvia effortlessly pouring just below the bottom lip... In other words, I'm ****ing drooling... GOD, FINALLY someone in the automotive world designs a vehicle that I love!!! You know, I was messing around sketching "R-36"'s and what not, and I used taillights like these, round and isolated from lens housings, as I saw the round to be a part of the skyline heritage and adding a little modern touch to it...

WELL DONE NISSAN...

Now bring it over to the states and price it just under 30k... or price it around 50, and sell me one for around 30, thatll work too :-D

Anyone know whats powering these bad boys? Still a twin turbo RB28???

I like the looks but I'll pass on the V-8. I guess nissan has abandoned the turbo also. The car looks heavy as it is and w/ a v-8 I'm forseeing a 3500+ curb weight.

Anyone have the spec on this car yet?? Which motor are they going with? I dont think they would use the v6 in this unless they twin turbo it and bore it out or maybe I read somewhere that they would use the infinity v8 twin turbo aroun 500hp. I hope they stick with the old faithful RB26DETT.

Pontiac G6 from the rear, GTO from the side. I park next to stupid Pontiacs at work, I see them every day.

Nothing about the car in those pictures says "Skyline" to me. The Corvette tail-lights look more stolen than ever, and the nostrils on the hood are just silly. I may be biased because I've spent time in a RHD GTR (and thus lean more towards the "old-school" Skylines) but as far as I am concerned the Skyline era ended with the Nismo Z-tune production model. Once Infinity got involved it was all downhill from there.

I"m sure PyroManiac will have something to say about this. He has major hook ups at nissan dealerships, and knows all about the GT-R.

And yes, it is for sure coming to america
