saw them on UBRF…damn y cant i be rich so i can buy one…

Prevailing rumors have the car taking on a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, itself derived from the engine in the 350Z. Power bogeys put the mill in the range of 450 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of twist. In true Skyline fashion, the car will be all-wheel-drive, with a further evolution of the GT-R’s electronic ATTESA ET-S torque-sensing system, tied into a four-wheel steering system.

Hmmmm…I may have to put the SHO up for sale afterall:)

I wonder what they’re going to want for that…

i dont think the tailpipes are big enough

I like it. :tup:

definitly like it but it does look like a more jagged/squared off 350z (yes i know…)

g35 to be exact

from the numerous things i’ve read in magazines and such, early estimates have put it in the $70,000 range as it is meant to be a direct competitor with a porsche 911 and the new Z06

how it will fare against both is up in the air… however the rumour mill has been buzzing about how the new GT-R will turn a faster lap around nurburgring than the new 911. correct me if i’m wrong but i forget what Gen. Skyline stomped the stock 911’s course record at the 'ring, i think it was either the R-33 or R-34. and i believe it won by over 2 seconds

The roof line on that car looks like absolutely shit. They should’ve continued the BNR chassis.

WAY to low in the back, looks like a building fell on it …

i agree…but with Lotus helping out the suspension and Cosworth helping on the motor it should be a contendor…the FM chassis is pretty good…but yea I miss the ol BNR chassis

I have no doubt it will perform like a son of a bitch, I just dont care for the new styling. I suspect a black one, with black tinted windows to hide the roofline will help with my opinion a lot.

lol…i miss it beause In My Dreams its a 2dr AWD TURBO Maxima

+1. It looks like a fat 350z/G35. Part of the appeal of the old Skyline to me was the boxy fender flares (same reason I like the wrx/evo). I think it’s more likely to be a destroked 3.2 rather than a 3.8 though.

I like that. And those tailpipes look like a couple cannons.

Watch the cops pull them over and issue “modified exhaust” tickets. :rofl:

“Officer, it’s a stock $70k vehicle…”

“You telling me how to do my job?”

I kinda dig it. Better than the Z for sure.

It’s kinda growing on me. I can’t wait until they’re released so we can see what they do

hmm… dunno yet how i like it
