hi
dang! is nice. a NEW gtr, for us. finally. only one thing i'd lose....the black stripe. its missing a intercooler. just picture a massive ic filling the black space under the nissan logo, then it will all come together. i like it exactly the same minus stripe, just hope power and drivetrain impress me as much as well. "the gtr got the green light" :cry: :toothless

.37??
 A 1992 Ford Explorer has a .43, so I think .37 is a little much. Maybe not though (A 911 GT2 has .34 or so)

Look at the GM Precept. It doesnt look too aerodynamic, but it has a .16 Cd.

BTW i like those wheels too, nice design
and i don't think the car is boxy, i think it looks efficient, high stability at high speed. wondering when the first pics or even movie's will show up of the R35 taking a spin on the Nurburgring..... |

Daymmmmm Igor!! Great catch!
I think most posters must pay close attention to your quote: 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! That sums it up. You can see where they are going with it and even at that it still is eye-catching even as a concept.

The concept looks good but not quite as kick-ass as I hope it would be. Would love to own one though - then I could park it beside my R33 and see which one attracts more attention!
 BTW, I noticed the hood is not as long as the 32/33/34. Possibly a sign of a V engine configuaration rather than the 6 in line. If that is so, the 32/33/34 will forever be legends and as time goes by, these models will be worshipped like no others. Hmmm....looks like my 33 will stay for a long long time to come!

I have to admit that it's not as cool as I hoped it would be. It just strays too far from the original Skyilne GT-R concept which was basically a hot rodded Skyline. Now it's its own model. I would rather have an R32, R33 or R34, which in the US would still get more attention IMHO.

I'm not really a fan of the way it looks, I wish they made it more like the R-34... But all you have to say is Skyline, or GTR, and I'm there.

There is just something about it i dont like. I cant place just what it is. I love the way they are sticking witht the configuration of the tail lights. Needs a small spoiler and a little more detail along the finders and front.

I see a lot of the old vintage Skylines within the R35. The tail lamps and the rear raked roof line remind me of the Ken and Mary and the front/sides look very similar to the 350ZX. I like it. I think to really appreciate it, one needs to be familiar with the entire lineage of the Skyline family. I've seen the Skyline when it first came out in '69 (I'm 36), and I remembered saying how the similar it was to the American muscle cars, as far as looks were concerned but with a Euro flair (I moved back to Japan when my father took orders to Sasebo, Japan). We can make all kinds of inferences to it, but I think we should just be happy that Mr. Carlos Ghosn (CEO Nissan) has made the push to make GT-R a world thing, and not just a Japan thing.
I've read various articles since this past weekend that the GT-R is coming here to the US, and then I've read articles where it was called "under heavy consideration". It's about time that we get what we want, and that is fun, driving pleasure with HP to back it up. Hopefully, Mr. Ghosn has heard us.Dale SKR Performance |

igor@af,
i'm the one who posted the pic.  ok, here's the scoop, nothin exciting really. my name is Dennis Salnikov, i'm a transportation design student at CCS in detroit. the photo is of my clay model, that i built last (school) year. i attempted to redesign the skyline, for my own self, just cause i'm so in love with the car. after i was done, a buddy and i decided to throw a few pix of it up on a couple online forums, to see the public reaction. of course, EVERYONE'S A CRITIC, and it got torn apart. but come on, it was my first clay model!!  i put my heart and sould into building that thing, and personally, i like it. the funny thing is that it has some similarity with the official GTR concept that just came out. i was really surprised and actually pretty happy to hear the comments everyone made about how similar the two were. but anyways, thats the deal. here's a couple more pix, go ahead, rip into it...!!     hope the pix work, and sorry for the large size |
