I want to know how much it weighs.

i think it's entirely up to the marketing at nissan. afterall, the demands for a fire-breathing AWD coupe isn't that great in the US if it doesn't have that V8 rumble.

the majority of people who know what's a skyline are probably under 25, and i don't think parents will buy their kids GTR's.

If i remember correclty I think its pretty heavy, which is why i have doubts about its under 4 secs 0-60 time.

EDIT:

WTF!? this isnt my username.

 

[sniperruff]

cool pics but i honestly think this excites me more:

because maybe i can buy one in a couple of years!

 

[Wrenchbender]

whoa what happened

 

[MrX8503]

what happened to the forums? THe layout was a diff color and i was logged on under Luciferhawke. Wierd.

Anyway, yes Sniperruff thats the car i'm excited about. The new EVO X!

 

[jnalpak]

Looks good.

 

[Jittles]

meh, looks like a modded 350z

 

[ajayjuneja]

that is so hot.

Now this or an Audi R8?

decisions decisions.

<-- current G35 and RS4 owner, likely selling the g35 for a gtr or r8 later on...

I'm not a fan of Japanese cars but that thing looks horny.

Lets see, awd... check, twin turbo... check, attesa... check. Yup i think it can.

Round taillights....check.

Mmmmmmm now it doesnt look so much like a "Rebadged G35".

looks plenty G35ish to me - longer body (least that how it looks), side exhaust or whatever those things are, and a low-height spoiler instead of a lip-spoiler

 

[5LiterMustang]

Not too shabby

 

[BillyBatson]

this looks a lot like a z350 but updated

I dont think they have oficially released any numbers but it looks pretty heavy. And I too am pretty skeptical about the 0-60 time.

As for the price, I thought it was rumoured to be around the 80k range.

dat shizzle da bizzle dizzle

 

[James3shin]

like a few already stated, looks like a 350Z/G35 hybird with a little bit Skyline added in. It's probably gonna look like the shot someone already posted in this thread.

I don't love the looks of it, but I will be very interested to hear about the performance.

Same, I think they did a worse job remodeling the car compared to how the R-34 looked back then. O well, the performance should make up for it.

 

[Stumps]

pretty cool, however I always liked the look of the R32

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Fine looking vehicle there.
