New skyline?

[Djs87]

Ive heard many rumors about a new skyline and I want to know how it differs from the older one. Ive heard things from, 8 speed, to v12 quad turbo. I also heard its kinda ugly but I have no idea whats true and what isnt. If you know anything about it, post it here. Thanks

Those are both complete BS. Odds are it's gonna use a N/A V8, or maybe a twin-turbo V6. A six-speed manual transmission is expected. It debuts in 2007, and it will come to America as the Infiniti GT-R.

um...i seriously really really doubt there will be a v12 quad turbo or a 8 speed. especially beings the last i heard they were trying to keep the price reasonable. like 50k. not 200k.

as for looks...i still dont think anybody knows beings all the pictures and what not are concepts. as for motor...my bet is they stick with the VQ, VH,or VK series motors depending on if they use a v8 or v6. and i dont think it is going to be called a skyline...it will be named a GTR and marketed under the infiniti car line.

the most realistic rumor i have heard was of a VQ3?DETT and the states might see a v8 n/a. but who really knows.

EDIT: damnit kman, i think i was typing that as you were pushing reply.

What are you comparing the car to?

Check the Skyline General Discussion forum for more info and some concept and test mule pics(no final design yet).

V12? naw, probably V20 octoturbo 12 speed
..sry

A V8 is somehow unlikely, a V6 in the 3-litre-region probably... probable.

anyways, been said in the GT-R thread.... probably

Just check the treads in the skyline forum, and concept cars. There is plenty of info on it there.
