Infiniti GT-R
Infiniti GT-R
"
Nearly two years ago, when it was revealed the GT-R would be badged as a Nissan rather than an Infiniti, there was a great deal of disappointment among badge conscious shoppers, Infiniti dealers, and fans of the luxury brand. Luckily, Infiniti might get its own version of the GT-R after all, a company executive has said.
Nissan design director Shiro Nakamura told the U.K.'s Car magazine, "an Infiniti version is a future possibility." This marks the first time anyone from Nissan has mentioned the prospect of an Infiniti GT-R.
Nakamura said he has not yet done a design study for such a vehicle, but "we are thinking about it." Clearly, the vehicle would not be a simple re-badge job, but rather a model with a unique exterior and interior built atop the same mechanical underpinnings." From Leftlane News

Well renders of the Infiniti GTR have already leaked - someone out there imagines Infiniti will make a four door version of the GTR and put it up against the Mercedes CLS and BMW CS. I guess this was just a matter of time really - Infiniti is a premium brand for Nissan and competes with the likes of BMW/Mercedes.
The whole slew of render shots and what not is here:
