well here is an example it wont be called a skyline here In Japan, the current Skyline two-door is the car known as the Infiniti G35 Coupe in America, and there is a GT-R version coming. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has promised that this GT-R will be exported to the United States. It's about time.

Strongly rumored to debut in production form at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the "V35" GT-R will likely use a twin-turbo version of Nissan's often lauded VQ-Series, DOHC, 24-valve V6 displacing somewhere between 2.8 and 3.5 liters and making power at least comparable to the gray-market engine feeding a new all-wheel-drive system. And unlike every previous GT-R, this one will be produced with left-hand drive. Don't expect the "Skyline" name to make it over to this country, though, as it will likely be called the Infiniti GT-R. not to bad on this on torque and horsepower but i'll take the mustang over it but thats just me

The picture I saw of this skyline is a guilty pleasure for me. I'd consider one for my next car, but I'll wait to see how the 2009 stangs turn out before I do anything.

where did you see a picture of the new one?

I don't know if I read a different article, but while the picture I saw looked pretty cool, the article said that there's basically no way in hell that the front end is going to stay looking like it does - they were having fun making the concept look cool, and apparently knowingly made a design that is impossible for production. The rear and side views should pretty much be the same, but if we're talking about the same cool-looking front end, with the funky lights and all the aggressive lines, it's definitely going to be 'simplified' before it hits the factory.

this is what it will look like... http://www.automotivearticles.com/12...rototype.shtml they scrapped the idea of using the modified g35 body. This car will be an insanely fast track car. I can't find the article right now, but i read in either motortrend or car and driver that nissan is promising the new gtr will break The Nurburgring lap record of any production car or they will keep working until it does. This is gonna be one tight car.

I read that too...what that really means is that they want to beat Porsche's Nurburgring time - the Nissan engineers have historically been pretty obsessed with Porsche, not that I can blame them.

The other thing that promise means is that the GT-R is going to be a while. They're obviously not where they want to be yet as far as performance goes, and they've been working on this new GT-R as a hush-hush project for a couple of years already, if I'm not mistaken.

edit: Wait, why the hell am I discussing Nissans and Porsches in a forum dedicated to Mustangs?[sm=wtf.gif]

because if we only discussed mustangs constantly this forum would get real boring real fast. I love my car and everything, but come on...have you ever seen a car forum that doesn't talk about other cars?

i can't wait until domestics are foced to either step it up or get off the market. I know none of the CEO's are going to just give out on their companies, so they're going to step it up a notch. They had a monopoly for a long time and just began building overpriced **** in essence. And eventually, they will begin making higher quality products and make their engines have more potential. For example, Lexus makes a v6 sedan that can beat a mustang GT with a bigger engine and more displacment, and two more cylinders. If Ford can build their engines up to the same standards, we cna get more power for less, and start kiling these imports. Twin turbo or not! I cant wait for the day!
