Re: The Next GT-R: From Concept to Production

one thing i have noticed about the pics is that they all follow the same "hatchback" style body, isnt a skyline a jap 4 seat super coupe/saloon and not some european hatch with a big engine? those guys should have thought harder before producing them pics!

The current Skyline sedan is a four door.

The current Skyline coupe is a 2+2 coupe with a trunk, or 'boot,' since you're in the UK ...not a hatch. The 350/Fairlady Z is a hatch.

The GT-R's have been two door 2+2 coupes, based off of the Skyline coupe. The same will probably hold true for the next GT-R.

Another update, albeit a small one. A new photo of the original GT-R concept.

Another update! An article from Skylines Australia, and a brief article from the GTROC, with a photo of "Mr. GT-R" himself, Hiroshi Tamura.

Re: The Next GT-R: From Concept to Production

Bump for a long overdue update!

Skyline Australia provided the November 2004 Holiday Auto mag update. The engine has been finalized unofficially: A 3.2L V6, electronically assisted twin turbo. The car will be based on the FR-L platform, a newer FM variant.

That makes sense. They weren't really following it anyway(in terms of outputs, not ratings).
