It looked better as a concept car(which one didn´t?)

But I´m still fait full to the GTR´s

[WanganCoupe]

First of all let me congratulate you for your fine taste on cars, and also let me be the first one to welcome you to the Dark Side

[DIENOW]

not the same car dude.

[w00sh!]

If this bad boy comes to the U.S., I WILL have one in my garage!

:eek:

[verdugo09]

If this bad boy comes to the U.S., I WILL have one in my garage!

:eek:

Well, if you have the $$$, knock your self out. It´s supose to be in the same price range that the NSX is, in other words an entry level exotic.

But is gonna be worth every penny

October 19, 2005


"Bidding to set a record for the longest drum roll in automotive history, Nissan unveiled yet another concept edition of its next-generation Skyline GT-R (that would be R35 if past nomenclature holds) during the Tokyo Motor Show press preview on Wednesday. It's called the GT-R Proto (as in prototype) and a production version is coming to America. Eventually. If you're thinking "haven't I seen/heard this before?" the answer is yes, and no.

No, you haven't seen this particular concept before. But you could be forgiven thinking you recognize it, for it does bear a thematic resemblance to the first R35 concept shown in Tokyo way back in 2001, just before the R34 platform went out of production in 2002.

Named the GT-R Concept, that car picked up the key GT-R design cues that still exist on the Proto. The Proto, though, shows more refined aerodynamics and is much closer to sharing the design of current Nissans and Infiniti models. The company says the concept gives "a clear indication of the final design direction" for the new model. Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president of design, says this design is 80 to 90 percent of the final shape.

The production GT-R, however, is still another two years away, scheduled for introduction at the next Tokyo show in 2007 (the 2008 model year), by which time Nissan will have been pounding the drum for its high-performance flagship for six long years. Why?

The 2001 concept was shown before the Nissan revival got well and truly underway, back when the company really needed whatever positive buzz it could generate. It also had no successor underway for the R34 (introduced in 1999), but needed to stop building the expensive, limited-edition car while it devoted engineering and design resources to the core business. So CEO Carlos Ghosn showed the early concept to assure people that the model still had a future.

At the same time, he made the welcome announcement that Nissan would no longer do the stupid thing it had been doing for a decade before his arrival in 1999: Building three generations of the mighty Skyline GT-R only in right-hand drive, and restricting "official" sales to Japan. The new version of the all-wheel-drive track star, the boss proclaimed, was being developed from the outset to include a left-hand drive edition for offer to export markets.

What we now know for sure is that those export markets will include America for the first time. (Earlier editions of the Skyline GT-R are available here through unofficial channels via MotoRex; see http://www.skylinegtr.com/) (http://www.skylinegtr.com/)). Given the expected price point north of $70,000, the 2008 Skyline is likely to be badged as an Infiniti and the name is not set in stone. Thanks to video games and the import tuner craze the Skyline GT-R name has strong recognition and value in America, despite the lack of an official presence, so it should figure prominently in the strategy.

What will we get when it arrives? After a six-year buildup, it had better be good, and Nissan knows it. While still being coy in public about mechanical specification, the company will have to deliver on Ghosn's earlier promises of "around 400 hp" and "top level driving performance." Latest estimates move the power target north to 450 or even 500 hp, with speculation centering on either a twin-turbo variation of the current 3.5-liter V6 as found in the 350Z and Infiniti G35, or a version of the Infiniti 4.5 liter V8.

For now, officially, all Nissan will say is this, from Carlos Tavares, executive vice president supervising design and product planning: "GTR is so important for Nissan because it is at the roots of Nissan. We're focused on performance and we will deliver accordingly. We don't want to disappoint our customers. We will have measurable performance numbers that will delight our fans."

Developed initially as a homologation special for racing purposes, earlier GT-Rs used a turbocharged inline six that was regarded as a bit peaky for road use—you had to keep the revs up and the turbo spinning to maintain good throttle response. If the new one is to maintain some of that flavor, the V8 option seems unlikely. This seems especially so given the slick hoodline of the Proto, but there is no way to be sure what decisions were made when Skyline was aimed at a global market where it would square off against Corvettes, Maseratis and Porsches.

Those with experience of previous GT-Rs will be watching to see how Nissan addresses the divergent goals of maintaining the original's race-bred character—with its elemental interior appointments and track-day ride and handling character—while appealing to a broader global market, especially when doing so under the luxury Infiniti badge.

Nissan says the new car will have its own body, not one derived from a production sedan range (Skyline) as before. The suspension setup is being done in conjunction with Lotus Engineering, and development mules wearing G35 bodywork have been spied undergoing tests at Germany's Nürburgring. Good performance at this venue is practically a requirement for any serious enthusiast car. The all-wheel-drive system—an element of the GT-R since the R32 debuted as a 1989 model and was regarded as a sort of budget Porsche 959 analog—is sure to take advantage of the latest in electronic management. At the least, it has to match the grip management found in Japanese rally-bred performance cars like the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo.

We similarly suspect we'll see some variation of a paddle-shifting transmission and certainly some enormous brakes, but Nissan is playing things close to the vest so far."

It looks like you have done your homework. You must really want one

[w00sh!]

It looks like you have done your homework. You must really want one

I've always loved Skylines. I almost bought a nice R32 but when I heard that a new one was coming, I knew I'd love it. I've been waiting quite a while... and apparently I have a few more years.

:D

[verdugo09]

I know you can wait, or you can build your own like smoky

Yeah, I know... I've read 4-5 posts encouraging her to sell it for various reasons and she always says no.... hence the sarcastic nature of my post above.

:cool:

[Nikolie]

Of course, you could sell your 'lude, and then.... ;)

always trying :rofl: (on a side note, do you eve drive around Brandon by chance?)

and no, it's not my first honda..I used to have a Civic :run: :run:

[w00sh!]

I go to the mall from time to time. I go PAST Brandon alot down 75 or over the Crosstown Expressway.

[verdugo09]

a civic

Nooooooooo, no nikki

Quickly, give me the holy water

(Gets the holy water )

(pour holy water all over nikki)

OOOOOO lord, free this child from sin, and all that is honda(civic).




J/K, I love hondas (well, I love nissan more)

[Nikolie]

ok, thought maybe I saw you coming out of the lowes parking lot on Lumsden a week or so ago.

[verdugo09]

DAMN, I´m sleepy. I´m going to sleep, good night FSS

[w00sh!]

ok, thought maybe I saw you coming out of the lowes parking lot on Lumsden a week or so ago.

Nope... not me.

I don't recall saying it was, I was just posting the 2001 concept.

[WanganCoupe]

First of all let me congratulate you for your fine taste on cars, and also let me be the first one to welcome you to the Dark Side

Dark Side = Boost

Which infiniti comes boosted stock?

[Phat95Talon]

I looooooooooooove that car. I'd hump it.

[verdugo09]

Dark Side = Boost

Which infiniti comes boosted stock?

Not really when refering to toyota.

RB26DETT>2JZGET

SR20DE>4AGE

KA24DE-T> All

J/K, I respect toyota (at least the 4age)

[HeyY0]

G20t, I30t, J30t, Q45t

[DIENOW]

I don't recall saying it was, I was just posting the 2001 concept.


ohh i though u were the other dude...similar sigs....confused me :run:

[WanganCoupe]

G20t, I30t, J30t, Q45t

Those are not turbo. t = touring package.

Not really when refering to toyota.

RB26DETT>2JZGET
it's been proven many a time that the 2JZGTE can hold more power stock than an RB26.
SR20DE>4AGE
The comparing the 4AGE and the newer SR20DE. lol You should have said 3SGE and SR20. I dunno who wins there. They are identical I believe.
KA24DE-T> All
KA24DE-t is ok but 2AZFE-t (tC and Camry 4 cylinder) is better. HAHA
J/K, I respect toyota (at least the 4age)
You respect an out dated 4cylinder. If you want to bow down to a toyota 4 cylinder I suggest to you the 2ZZ-FE celica engine.


Or the 3TC.lol That's a dated engine which thanks to Puerto Ricans makes sick power.lol

[Boostjunkie]

G20t, I30t, J30t, Q45t

You actually thought all of those were turbo? :rofl:

[DIENOW]

You actually thought all of those were turbo? :rofl:

[Mikey]

im surprised they kept so many of the design elements from the concept.

[verdugo09]

KA24DE-t is ok but 2AZFE-t (tC and Camry 4 cylinder) is better. HAHA

I don´t know if to believe that. It might beat the KA on top end, but midrange torque is massive on the KA

You respect an out dated 4cylinder. If you want to bow down to a toyota 4 cylinder I suggest to you the 2ZZ-FE celica engine.




I dont respect it because of the power, is not always about power. Is the memories. Just imagine yourself on a silver 1985 corolla hatchback, just flying down the road with the 4AGE screaming at 8,000+ RPM´s.:bowdown:

[Mikey]

imagining and remembering are 2 different things

[verdugo09]

It does look pretty good. But as said in the past. The 07 supra will own it. Toyota knows what they are doing by waiting.haha

[verdugo09]

xA and xB = 1.5
tC = 2.4

soo, is true that the xA and xB got the echo enguine?

[WanganCoupe]

yes it does.

[The Fast and The Furious]Hey, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box.[/The Fast and The Furious]

Yes my padawan, xa and xb have the echo engine.

[Boostjunkie]

GTR is probably the only Nissan I'd consider. :lawl:

[WanganCoupe]

Good things come to those who wait. (supra fanboy motto):x:

[verdugo09]

yes it does.

[The Fast and The Furious]Hey, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box.[/The Fast and The Furious]

Yes my padawan, xa and xb have the echo engine.

HAHAHA, hey you don´t know me. I have already seen you in your nissan hating mode to you got owned by evan mode. This is not over, Nissan and Toyota are close, but Nissan is always one step ahead in the performance department. and I will prove it to you.

You will believe, is your destiny

[WanganCoupe]

owned by evan mode. hahahahahahahahha. It's mutual ownage. when I own him he removes it from the quotes.

Never will I ever stray from Toyota. The SRT4 had my attention at one point.......then I realized no matter how fast she was, she was still one ugly bitch.

[verdugo09]

HAHAHA, you will believe

I know it

AE86 or 510

[WanganCoupe]

You mother fucker. that's a hard choice.

But I'll go with the AE86 hatchback with the Levin front end conversion..

[verdugo09]

You mother fucker. that's a hard choice.

But I'll go with the AE86 hatchback with the Levin front end conversion..

I got it, you are just missunderstood, you have a little of Nissan in that big Toyota heart of yours

HATER

[Boostjunkie]

You mother fucker. that's a hard choice.

But I'll go with the AE86 hatchback with the Levin front end conversion..

Should've kept that AE86 we helped tow...:lawl:

[WanganCoupe]

http://blackysan.tripod.com/levin.jpg

I love this car. There is a small place somewhere in me that likes the 510 sedan...not the coupe...the sedan


I wouldn't have minded keeping that corolla we helped tow but it needed too much work for me to currently financially handle.

[Boostjunkie]

Bitch you got 10k!! :lawl:

[WanganCoupe]

yeah I know but sometimes you have to let the ones you love be free.


plus it didn't have a title bitch.

[HeyY0]

You actually thought all of those were turbo? :rofl:
yep, after seeing atleast a handful of turbo'd g20's i figured they came turbo'd, my bad
