Hey guys, I know there has been alot of stuff written about the NEW GTR, saying how great it is, and tunable, and yada-yada-yada, but in my humble opinion, I still think the thing is ugly! I find that the new cars, both domestic and JDM all have a commonality to them, and that's either you love the look or totaly hate it. I don't like the new Nissan look. I like the older , classy look of the R32 and 33.
Just so you know, I do like the new powerplants offered though.
Cheers

yes. if even the mere g35x is AWD, then the GTR will undoubtedly be AWD as well, else it would not be a GTR. there are rumors as well that it will have HICAS (AWS).

i found this rambling discussion about it:

as far as how it will look, well, that is anybody's guess. but i'm telling you it will be a facelifted, perhaps beefier looking, version of what we are already seeing today in the g35c/ GT350 skylines, as that is the chassis it will be based upon.

I'll garuntee that! I don't know, but the last couple years, Nissan has come through with the motor and drivability, but they goofed in the assethetics! I still think the new modles are cluncky looking. They put me in mind of Ford and GM's, and who would want one of them?

Here here.
The 350 is heading twards the porshe organic look.
Think: Egg with wheels.

Err, not really. I dont know what you mean by 350z, as this is discussion about the next gtr.

Just saying mate, that the cars of today, rarely have that "jun sey qua", that panash, the look that makes them stand out from the others. Hell, just today I was driving downtown and followed what I thought was a new Mustang, but it was a Toyota! All I'm saying is that if Nissan keeps going the way of all the others, we will have a generic GTR on our hands! Nothing like the R32/3/4's that for sure!

Well if it weren't for the 350z or G35, the next gtr may have not been a possibility.


Also I think if the next gtr does come out looking like a beefier G35, the car would look great. I'm also a diehard porsche fan too!!

Shhhhh! You should never tell anyone who loves Skylines that you love another car. It's like telling your wife that you've got a girlfriend on the side. LOL!

Anyone think the current G35 / 350z will get some newer technology passed down? Like AWD for example? There's already a G35x Sedan.

dave

boom, I do not reason that there will be "passed down" tech on the next gtr. it will all be new technology on the car.
spt, im a porsche fan too, its weird cause skylines and porsche's are like unofficial rivalries.
