The world's most technologically advanced driver's car is set
for a major facelift, Auto Express can exclusively reveal.
Nissan's outrageous new Skyline, the R35 GT-R, is set to
succeed the current R34 and will hit the streets in 2003. So
prepare for a gripping head-to-head battle with Porsche's
911 Carrera 4!
Nissan feels it's important for the R35 to maintain the
established image of the Skyline range which it will join. As
a result, the front-engined, two-door coupé will proudly bear
the red-and- silver GT-R badges, as well as the now-familiar
sculpted rear wings and front spoilers. Under the skin,
however, there have been major advances which promise
that the latest Skyline will be the most driver-orientated
version to date. The active torque-sensing
four-wheel-steering system and six-speed gearbox are to be
revised. The same goes for the suspension, which uses
all-new springs and dampers to offer a smoother ride.
The engines, too, are to be given a radical overhaul. There
are two units under consideration: a normally aspirated
3.5-litre V8 and a twin-turbocharged 3.3-litre V6. Either unit
could in theory be tuned to develop somewhere in the region
of 350bhp – far more powerful than anything the Japanese
manufacturer offers at the moment.
Currently, the 3.3-litre powerplant is the favoured choice, as
it is expected to be seen in the manufacturer's Z Car coupé
which is debuting at the Detroit Motor Show in January. And
Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn is well aware that if the
Japanese firm is to compete successfully on a global basis,
it has to produce strong engines which are powerful enough
to compete with Europe's finest supercars.

pretty contradicting.... comparing to the info on the first post.
and as i said, i'd rather have it 3.5 or 3.3 litet TT than a 4.5 liter non-turbo, everybody agree?
