The Next GT-R: From Concept to Production

[ZedEx]

Look it doesnt matter anyways, in 2013 R32 GTR's can start being imported legally, without any modification... (who think the R35 will be out by then?) I personally if not satisfied with the R35, will just import an R32 GTR. In my opinion.

by that time gasoline will be depleted (prolly)....we will have the hydro engines by then...

[ZedEx]

... I say we all move to Francium Water reactive engines!

FR + H2O --> FH2 RO

Or in other words... Very expandable reaction.

Francium is the most reactive alkalide metals, with water. The reaction is greater than fire with gasoline.

Im sure someone else has thought of this, that is why I am not pursuing the idea...

mazda already has a hydro...i cant remember what they said, something like the turbo will spool at a real low rpm, and will be working like a regular turbo when reaching rpm limit.

Bump for update!

New badging info, that makes quite a bit of sense.

geez......nismo,vielside,do-luck----is gonna have a hard time tryna make a body kit for this car..
i hope they have some rb conversions thats possible for it

Of course they will. No one knows what it even looks like yet. Chill out.

I hope you're prepared to deal with less torque, more weight, worse weight distribution...and possibly even less tunability as a result.

Bump for update! Three new chops, and an article from Webwombat.

I dont know if someone already said this, but the horse power "agreement" has been lifted in japan s alll limits are off. Also, latest Road and Track says they spotted a new skyline ripping around hethel, england, so we can guess lotus is tuning the suspension (someone may have adressed that too). Well, i guess thats all I've got to say.

Another update. August '04 Road and Track scan featuring the Opel Signum concept chop and some info about Lotus and Cosworth's collaboration on the GT-R.

pitiful this car looks so ugly

[tazdev]

how can you say something is ugly when it doesn't actually exist at the moment?

all pics etc. are still only concept pics and will no doubt differ from the final version of the GTR whe it comes out.

[feenix z]

The concepts and computer renderings have thus far been pretty weak. Maybe if they had stuck close to the design of the last three skylines we'd have something everyone could agree on. Oh well, 450 bhp will make the styling a moot point.

I remember there being a rumor going around about them using an anti lag system developed by Garrett. Garrett is owned by Honeywell, and I found this on Honeywells website, It could just be a coincidence but you never know....

Thanks to Rezz at skylinesaustralia for this!

Here it talks of the next GT-Rs driveline... rear wheels driven by the VQ32DETT through a driveshaft, and the front wheels driven by an electric motor. Hi-tech...

e-4WD... thats the replacement for ATESSA. Basically, the e-4WD system comes in the moment traction is lost in the rear wheels, with torque bias always to the rear. The timing, torque allowance etc is all finely tuned to assist cornering and turn-in. This really is the next phase of performance 4WD engineering. The front motor is supplied power by a Lithium battery which is recharged by a generator feeding off the VQ32DETT. My Japanese ability isn't that good, but I believe the motor-assisted turbos are fed from the Lithium battery aswell. Thats the pic of the Lithium battery above (the grey flat panel thing).

Sorry, the pics a little blurry, but here is a list of Carbon and Aluminium parts to be used in the next GT-R:

Carbon - Bonnet, Driveshaft, Rear diffuser and Seat frames

Aluminium - Roof, Suspension arms, Rear tailgate and Door panels.

Basically a pic of the GT500 engine, the next GT-R will have a slightly less peaky/powerful and more driveable version of this very engine.

Nissan/Nismo in colaboration with Cosworth tuned 3.2L V6 Twin Turbo with an estimated 470+ hp.

The VQ32DETT compared to the (current) top of the line VQ35DE. The main VQ32DETT differences comprise of: 3.2L capacity, dry sump, twin throttle bodies, Twin motor-assisted (spool up) turbos, NDIS Direct Ignition and separate intake manifold for each cylinder bank.

another CG pic They're calling it "Hybrid Supersports" and a "V35 bodied GT-R Prototype" has been spotted testing at a closed session at Nurburgring in Germany.
