DAMN!! I wan't one, I know it is probably a long way off, but this is just a step closer in the right direction!!! I MUST HAVE ONE!!!!!! :ylsuper

Looks killer. But I hope they "fix" the front end and make the back look a little rounder. Well, I've found my new car! lol Can you imagine the after market support?

[G-Forces]

Looks good. The only thing that bothers me is the front end. I can't help comparing it to that one Cadillac consept they put out this year. Maybe its just my mind playing tricks on me.

OTOH the doctered pics that gabedude posted is sweet! Now that looks like an evolved GT-R.

Will I ever get one? Oh yeah I'll just trade in my 2001 NSX when it comes out.

I'm not too crazy about it. It looks way too much like a Z. Who knows what Nissan will do eventually, but at least they will probably send it to the US. For my money, however, I'd rather just have an imported R32, R33 or R34.

The new GT-R will be based on the same platform as the Fairlady Z. The interior design is almost the same too, with all that bare aluminum. I guess the GT-R will also have VQ-power as well. Since the Z will have the normally aspirated VQ35DE with at least 280hp, I bet the GT-R will have a turbo version. With a lighter body and better weight distribution, it should be a rocket.

I'm as skeptical about this as I am about the next NSX.

Maybe I just wont be a fan of the cars from this decade, prefering instead the "classic cars of the '90s".

Check it out! We just might get a chance to drive the GT-R concept whether Nissan makes it or not. Sort of.

Absolutely desirable, and otherwise perfect. Hopefully it won't change much aesthetically, and it probably shouldn't considering the closeness between all of Nissan's recent concept to production models (Concept Z-->350Z/Fairlady Z; XVL Concept sedan-->Altima/G35/Skyline GT). It embodies everything the names Nissan and GT-R stand for in this day in age: trademark qualities with forward movement. You can see familiar lines not only in the taillamps, but also in the overbearing rear fender creases and huge front grille opening. But holding together these features is a stunning new body, flat-out stating Nissan's new direction with subtlety out of the picture; it seems almost like a wake-up call from Nissan.

I know many of you are about to start off with your jeers and signs of incontent, but history ALWAYS repeats itself in this area. Many, many new cars take time getting used to, and this is always primarily due to the familiarity with an older model. Try and fast-forward. Picture this car without thinking of older GT-Rs at first. It's beautiful in its own way while still capturing some essential qualities from it's predecessors. Yes, the R34, 33, and 32 GT-Rs are incomprehendably legendary, but Nissan needed to break the mold with something fresh--something the whole world could enjoy. If they need to reconstruct and make money, then here is a workable, good product. And what's good for Nissan in the long run is good for all of us.

So how come the tail lights of this car reminds me of the old Corvette???

[GTR-33]

I hated the concept pics at first, but the thing is really startin to grow on me! I love the car's overall shape. Curvy,sexy, yet it screems power. The only part I don't like is the headlamp design. It doesn't convey 'Move Your Slow Ass!' like it should. I know that it will be different on the production model with the addition of turn signals and all, but if they made it look how gabedude made it look, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Yeah, at first i didn't like it either, but it's a true beauty i think. I think the hood should be a lil' bit longer and the front light unit should change to get that meaner look. but this is only a concept.

Further supporting Nissan's new world domination plan is the fact that they designed the concept car left-hand-drive from the start. Nice marketing strategy; now anyone who is in the market to purchase a grand tourer in the next year or two can wait for the GT-R to show up finally on their LHD shores.

Retractable active aero spoiler. Interesting. I can't help but get a feel of Ferrari from the tail end.

[VQuick]

The rear end reminds me so much of the 550 Maranello and 456GT. But hey, that's not really a bad thing. I don't think that Nissan should lengthen the hood though. That will make the GT-R will look more like a high speed touring GT akin to the Aston Martin Vanquish, 550 Maranello, and the like. The other reason is that it doesn't need a longer hood. Those other cars have V12s, but the GT-R will probably have a V6. A longer hood just means more weight, which was always the fatal flaw of previous GT-Rs.

I know that's what a lot of people didn't want the GT-R to turn into, but I wouldn't mind. As long as it's still fast.

That front is a little unpleasant, IMO.
But it is very good overall.
I added the 5th choice, cuz' it was what I thought, and some here also seem to think.

I am sad that it might lose the I6, and a lot of its heritage. Only time will tell what will happen to this GT-R. It shows promise, and it is EXCELLENT that it will be sold here.
