i dont think you saw a real prototype...im guessing some guy got an r34 and stuck bodykit on it. either that or its an import G35 coupe, which is called a skyline. nissan would NOT let some random guy have a proto in the US.

 

It is really??

 

car looks great, and pics of how the interior may look????

These are the guessed spec's. But from I’ve seen recently, the Cars in 2007-2008 will all be powerful. Especially the sport's car's. Also a Year and a half is still a long time to wait. So in my personal opinion the GTR will get more powerful and more expensive to keep up with the competition. NISSAN stated that this will be their "Flagship Car" so I can almost be positive this car will get even more powerful.

 

70K? *breaks down and cries*

 

I'm thinkin the doors might have the shaved door handles with electronic entry. Which will boost up the price a couple thousand

 

Ah yes! But will it get lighter?

It will already need to compete in the 500 hp club with it's rumored 450+hp. If it weighs in at the portly 3500+lbs that Carlos Gohsn mentioned, it will be sniffing exotic exhaust and looking at a lot of taillights...

Coming in under 3500lbs will be nearly impossible with AWD and a multi turbo set-up.

-AL

 

I hope it will be lighter. I'll hate if the R35 turn's into a new R33. But even if it's not, we can all hope the acceleration will make up for it.

 

70K aye? The price is probably goign to skyrocketed to 90k+ when it first came out..

 

sorry i dont like it i think the r33 and r34 looks better when i get mine it will prob be the r33
