Nope. Skyline is the G35. GT-R is based upon a different body, this body was designed for a coupe in mind rather than a sedan body with two doors. The G35(Skyline) and GT-R chassis' are not the same.
I cannot stress this enough that the GT-R is not the successor to the Skyline GT-Rs.
It's ok though, no one listens to me. The magazines and spies keep saying Skyline as well probably because it has such a large "following" stateside.

Same platform.
GT-R is now Independant of the Skyline lineage.
I bet though, it will still be referred to as such for a long time.
Anyway, back to the topic. I bet the LF-A will come in at 3000lbs or under. Any takers?

Sorry but no way in bloody hell the LF-A will weigh 2600lbs...
IF THE LF-A WEIGHS 2600lbs, I even say 2700lbs, I will sing "WE ARE THE WORLD" and post it on Clublexus.
The RX-8 doesn't weigh 2600lbs. There use of lightweight tech would be immense and the cost of this car around $500,000, unless Lexus eats the cost.
Considering this is a LEXUS. which means it will have tons of luxury and tech, it will weigh 3300lbs.
The 911 TURBO weighs 3500lbs.

I noticed on a picture of the Lexus LF-A in Geneva that they've dropped the glass roof from the first concept.
