The Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 Concept has been unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Show this year.

Nissan will continue building the GT-R in the 21st Century, providing the ultimate driving pleasure to even more people worldwide. In its next generation Nissan is looking to introducing the GT-R in other markets worldwide.




In pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure
Successive generations of the GT-R have consistently pursued the ultimate in driving pleasure. Over the years, the GT-R has continued to be a supreme-performance road-going car that delivers superb driving pleasure by responding faithfully to the driver's demands. Just sitting in the driver's seat of the GT-R produces a feeling of excitement that envelops the entire body.
Achieving the ultimate in driving pleasure means that the car must perform exactly as the driver expects. Meeting this expectation requires a faithful response to the driving actions executed by the driver, and the car must convey accurate information to the driver. In other words, the driver has to be able to judge the vehicle's state accurately and instantaneously. Then, through the car's consistently response to the accelerator pedal, steering wheel and brake pedal, the driver enjoys the pleasure of controlling the car at will. There is feeling of solid trust and oneness that forms between the driver and the car in this process, confidently bringing out both the driver's skill and the car's maximum potential.




Consistently providing the best specifications available in every era
If drivers are to enjoy the ultimate in driving pleasure, the car's potential must be raised to the utmost limits. Successive generations of the GT-R have truly incorporated superior specifications even among vehicles in this segment. With its unrivaled power, the engine has delivered outstanding acceleration and top speed combined with a driving sensation. A superior braking system has provided powerful braking performance, and an outstanding suspension has enabled the GT-R to corner with remarkable quickness.
The GT-R has been the showcase for the highest levels of acceleration, cornering and stopping capabilities. The delicate balance between the powerful engine and responsive suspension has been pushed as each system surpassed last generation technology.
As a result of that never-ending process, the GT-R has continued to embody the most advanced technologies available in every era.






Expanding the tradition globally in the 21st-Century
Successive generations of the GT-R have already established an unshakable position in Japan as a result of incorporating the highest levels of technology available in pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure. That superior performance transcended the oceans to make the GT-R the focus of envious looks the world over. Nissan is developing a new generation of GT-R for the 21st Century with the aim of placing it in the spotlight of the global stage, beyond the borders of the Japanese market.

The GT-R displayed at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show is a concept vehicle which delivers "Ultimate Driving Pleasure" with the best in world-class






This concept car is well... ' 'different' ' .. I doubt this is how the production version will look, but this car does have something special in it. Let's hope for the best!

Hey Igor

Me no like the look of it, but I do like the fact that they are trying and chances for a US version has gone up.

Also for everyone who has been talking about "I hate the new Skyline, it should never come to the states blah blah". As you can see the new Skyline is only the SEDAN version and this is JUST the concept for the GT-R.

The fun starts now

Here are a few other concepts from the Tokyo Auto show. http://www.autonews.com/page.cms?pageId=153 Some look like fun, others just plain scarry. Either way all cars have to start somewhere.

Also, I can not help but note.. this picture was posted here on AF some time ago, by a person who simply posted it, and never came back or explained where these pictures originated:

Picture posted looooong time ago-

The concept officially released by Nissan-


This rendering is WAY TOO similar to the official concept released by Nissan. Something's going on here... I wish the person who posted this a while ago could come back and maybe give us some kind of an explanation ....

[R35]

Creepy?! But no doubt they are very similar and therefore chances are high that the first photo is also valid as a very early concept.

It would be nice to hear more info. Especially some "educating" of the public outside of Japan of the difference in the many versions of Skylines that have come out.

BTW: Take a look at this photo of the Fairlady Z (350Z):

It's a huge file, but you can check out the larger version and look for yourself. I smell photochop. Chances that the GT-R photo's have been doctored are also high since both photo's came from the same Nissan site.

I'll post the Z stuff in the Z folder, but thought the fact that the Fairlady had some photochoping done to it made me think that the GT-R photo's may not all be 100%

[igor@af]

You do realize that these photos are coming from the OFFICIAL Nissan Website right?

[R35]

Yup. That is why I was questioning the Z photo.

To self I said, "Self, why would Nissan have a photochopped picture of the new Z?".

The Z looks great and near (if not already) complete.

The GT-R concept, although I don't care too much for its look does bring some great idea's to the table for the next version of the GT-R.

That's why the odd mirror is puzzling me

[Ultimateone]

speechless.

[MR Yasir]

Gabedude, that looks a lot better.
Let's not forget that this is only a concept.
At least it still has the round taillights.

[GTS-4 Ben]

I think it has some potential.

I made a small picture.. quick so don't hassle me about it

Low it looks better.

[G20t Driver]

I can't help but notice the steering wheel is on the left side. Does that mean it will be imported to the U.S.? That would be awesome!!!!! I just hope that it doesn't get detuned if it does.

Also, if they bring it over will the price go down as a result of lower tariffs?
