Is this the new Skyline?

[Focus2000]

I've just been having a look on Nismo's website and found a brochure for the Skyline CVP35. Does anyone know of this is going to be the shape of the next-gen Skyline?




It looks very but seems to have a strange similarity to the 350Z. I wonder how long we'll have to wait for Tamiya to produce this?

In America, right now, I know that it is the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe. It is also based on the 350Z, for they share the same patform. I have seen this listed as a Skyline coupe also, and I am confused. I think that there will be a Skyline GT-R which will be different from this (which looks asthough its the Skyline Coupe) My two cents.

Looks like it to me......go on the www.nissan.co.jp/EN/lineup.html site and have a look at the new Skyline

Yes it is a new Skyline, and is sold as the Infiniti G35 sedan and coupe in the US. It's a gorgeous car, and is getting rave reviews. It is based on the Z car platform, but has a much longer wheelbase. Think of the Skyline coupe more like the old Z car 2+2, but styled differently than the Z car. The roofline is very similar, but does not share any parts w/the Z car, or even the Skyline/G35 sedan.

I think the next Skyline GT-R will be a lot more aggressive looking than this, the "standard" Skyline. Time will tell, I can't wait to see the next generation super-performance Skyline and see if it too makes it to the US.

They certainly could have done allot worse, the G35 is a great looking car! That V35 GTR show car from a couple years ago was ugly in many ways.

i hate it i looks like shit nissan shoulve picked a better platform. ive seen fat chicks that look hotter than that car

V35 Skyline, Z33 350Z and Stagea are sitting on the same platform, the FM (front mid). The Z is the short wheel base version of this platform, and it will probably used for some Renault, as well. Both 4dr and 2dr Skylines have the same wheelbase, but no panels are shared, and 2dr coupe looks much better than the sedan. Some say it looks even better than the Z, but it's just a personal taste I think.
I wish Tamiya or Aoshima makes one, but so far, no news about it.

yup that's the new sky coupe. the first time i saw it i thought it was ugly but now i really love how it looks and hoping they'll use this as a platform for the new GTR. btb i got this airbrushed pix from best car, it's pretty kewl though if they've decided to use the current design.

So will the new Skyline GT-R share a similar body style to the G35 Coupe? And will it be 4WD?

[Rtuned]

I don't think so. R35 is alot more similar to Z33(350Z).

[RyanGiorgio]

Those bastards! I'm pissed that they took the same car as the 350Z (practically speaking) and put a Skyline badge on it. The 2000 Skyline and the 2000 300ZX (J-Spec) weren't the same cars now were they?

They are not the same car. R35 is more square than Z33.

The Skyline coupe/G35 is a stunning car, better looking than the 350z IMO, hope Tamiya make one

The new GT-R is on the front cover of Autocar this week http://www.autocarmagazine.co.uk/
