nice... but i dout that's the GT-R

[Montoya]

this is the most realistic concept design i think......

[BiGiE]

man the new skyline looks amazing thanks man and i wish the skyline looks like that man

[freelander_gt]

I thought the new skyline this one....

[JonnybravoM3]

Looks to me like a Nissan 350Z front and a Bugatti Veyron rear... :thinking2

[ZOSicK]

well both have killer looks the pics posted by splash and montoya :up2:

[vette4ever]

this is the most realistic concept design i think......


I agree you that

[vette4ever]

Its all concept design ... nothing else


The G35 is a Skiline, if you know that

[4ced]

these are all concept pix and nothing actually was ever officially released from nissan regarding the design. But we see a similarity here in the 3 pix, theyre all going for that very boxy yet futuristic design. I guess when the skyline does come out it will be something along the lines of those 3

vette, the G35 you mean the infiniti? thats not a skyline, thats a 350Z with an infiniti badge :thinking:

[Silver SS]

I'm with Montoya that's closer to what it might look like

[freelander_gt]

yea the pics i posted might just be a gt concpet that they are releasing an the pics from Splash and Montoya could be possible designs..well i duno :haha:

[Silver SS]

can't wait for it... i hear it might be powerd by a V8 :crazy:

[4ced]

wooooooooow V8 woooooooow :eyecrazy:

cant wait :yikes:

[Silver SS]

Splash can you find out for us what kind of power plant this beast will have

[4ced]

ok heres what i got:


Nissan to Launch Next-Generation Skyline GT-R in 2007
AFX News Limited - October 23, 2003


Motor Trend

Nissan Motor Co Ltd will launch its new Skyline GT-R sports car model in 2007 according to president and chief executive Carlos Ghosn.

Ghosn said he intends to unveil the new vehicle at the Tokyo Motorshow in 2007 after which it will be launched for sale.

Ghosn said the new "global" version of the longstanding classic will be marketed throughout Europe and the U.S. as well as Japan to make it profitable, and not only in Great Britain and Australia where its market has been limited to date as a right-hand drive car.

Copyright 2003 AFX News Limited.

In 2001 the concept that freelander gt posted up was shown in the tokyo motor show.
HOWEVER, read this:


"Nissan's Ghosn acknowledged the company's 400-horsepower, GT-R super car is taking quite a while to get to market. Noting an engineering bottleneck inside Nissan, Ghosn said the company had looked at partnering for the GT-R development but later decided against it. Now, he said, work is ongoing. Ghosn expects to see a GT-R at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, with deliveries to customers following shortly thereafter. "Our intent is to build an extreme sports car at a reasonable price," he said, adding styling changes will make the final GT-R look substantially different from the concept that was out a couple years ago. "

so right now we have no idea what it will look like :confused: but we know it has around 400 hp, and here are more engine details:


the engine used in the next GTR will be the VQ33DETT.

The new 3.3L alloy block V6 will use the stroke length from the VQ35 and the bore from the VQ30. It will use twin electronically assisted turbochargers, which is a first! Apparently two small electric motors will be attached to the turbine shaft spinning it at lower revs when no positive boost is being made thus eliminating turbo lag. Furthermore variable valve timing and variable valve lift will be used in order to achieve the 400ps that is predicted.

Garrett are said to have helped design the turbine anti-lag system using electronic assistance

It's set to be Japan's fastest and most advanced supercar - but look under the skin and it's Britain's brains which will power Nissan's new GT-R!
most advanced car in the world. But it's not only Nissan engineers who can claim the credit - our sources say British legend Cosworth has been called in to help tweak the engine, while Lotus is involved in fine-tuning the suspension.


more stuff...


"The GT-R will exceed 206kW (the Japanese limit)," said Yukawa. "The Porsche 911 Turbo has about 400hp -- we're aiming for that. Porsche is my ambition."

Japanese car makers have long been suspected of exceeding the self-imposed power limit and then simply quoting 206kW (or 280hp) to keep officials happy. Now that the decision has been made to abandon the agreement, Japanese performance-car makers can get serious about challenging their European counterparts.

The new GT-R is expected to be powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

The rest of the GT-R package is a secret, though there have been clues. The styling is likely to show influences from the rakish GT-R concept car shown at the 2001 Tokyo motor show. Meanwhile, four-wheel-drive -- a signature of the model -- is a certainty.

Infiniti will begin offering an all-wheel-drive version of its hot-selling G35 sedan, fitted with Nissan's ATTESA E-TS (electronic torque split) system, in early December. Now comes word that an upcoming G35 platform mate, the Skyline GT-R, will get not only ATTESA E-TS but also a twin-turbo V-6 tuned by Cosworth. Producing in the neighborhood of 480 horsepower, the new V-6 features twin-turbo motor assist, a technology employed during off-boost periods—say, when idling—that temporarily turns the GT-R into a naturally aspirated car. Here's how it works: When off boost, magnetic valves open to form a bypass that redirects exhaust gas around the turbos and directly into the precatalysts; when on boost, the valves close and channel exhaust gas into the turbos. The net effect is a car reportedly capable of meeting strict emissions regulations around the world. Don't expect to see the GT-R, likely labeled an Infiniti when it comes to America, till 2005 or 2006.

[BOOST DuDe]

4ced induction.. i think you are right.. :)

[designo]

i cant beleive you guys are makin a big fuss over a crappy NISSAN!

[ENIGMA.com]

ever driven a SKYLINE GTR??

[4ced]

ever driven a CLK-GTR? :devil:

[ENIGMA.com]

ok not exactly, but I meant driving a SKYLINE is not like driving any other japanese car

[designo]

ever driven a CLK-GTR? :devil:
you da man 4ced. Cause i know you are one gentle man who appreciates premium autos!

Now back to the subject of a crappy NISSAN! I dont care how many letter combinations they put after their stupid model names... its still a crappy japo!

[ENIGMA.com]

....but it is fun to drive (despite the shitty quality)

[Splash]

عطوا ديزاينو ويه عاد :tome:

[ENIGMA.com]

laish laa, we always give him coz he's our favourite mod



































FOR ME TO POOOOP OOON

[4ced]

gentle man, or gentleman? theres a difference :hmmm:

i dunno, i never had a thing for skylines, although ive driven them and i know how fast they are and what they can do when modded. they just dont stir up any passion in me for some reason :blink:

unlike a quality german car... or maybe a huge american V8... i dunno, japs just dont do it for me :confused:

[ENIGMA.com]

it's not about the passion (hey If i wanted to feel true driving, I'd take my mom's Mercedes) it's a bout enjoying the dynamics

[4ced]

the clk gtr has dynamics :blink:

[ENIGMA.com]

i meant Driving dynamics (i.e a special driving experience)

[4ced]

i suppose a clk-gtr driving experience is something you do every day then

[ENIGMA.com]

I have yet to try that (on the waiting list)

[khalil007]

Wish it just hits the production line :crazy:

So, as I understand from the article, it's gonna be powered by VQ32DET engine with 470+bhp :tudevil: and it's based on the infiniti G35 :blankh:

[Splash]

I think this is true, coz here's a pic from the UK that is claimed to be the next GTR testing at the cosworth track in the UK :eyecrazy:
