I love it! I really like the fact that they are using the 911 turbo as the benchmark as well.

That looks great. How much was this car going to cost again? Might be too expensive for me Hopefully the new G35 coupe follows similar lines.

I really like the fact it looks different to most cars on the road
I also think it can look quite ungainly from many angles

Ya TRDFantasy is right. These pics have been out since TAS. They were used on the US launch site as well, under the name "GTR PROTO".

I think the production version should be slightly different from those pictures. For example these concept photos showed chrome quad tips with a Remus/L-Sportline tips. The most recent track testing GTR has much larger quad tips with no special tip. Until Nissan releases official pics, we shall drool on these.

I wonder how long till everyone remembers that Nissan is dropping the Skyline GT-R, and just making the GT-R a whole new car itself, as none of those pictures say Skyline in it anywhere aswell

only 70% of the GTR concept will make it to production..

I believe the CF parts will be replaced because Nissan says it is impossible to sell it under 100K if they keep the CF parts... and the cost of repair later will be too much...

I really wish they can keep the CF bumper tho....
