That thing is wicked looking, I think the bricknose is to keep some likeness to its Family, it resembles the R43 in many ways. I bet it tears up the road though...... I think I have a new goal in life......

I've heard that the engine on the r35 is going to be just as crappy as the styling. Can anybody confirm?

I was *mostly* kidding with my comments about this car, which I am pretty confident is a concpet GTR. I don't have the specs on the car, but like any concept car, things developed for this car will trickle down into other GTRs and other Nissans over time.

It looks like a huge pig and I'm sure it's heavy as hell. But that's speculation.

It's the same crappy look that many concept cars have had over the past few years. Looks similar to the Cadillac EVOK and several over bricknoses. At least the Caddy looked like the drag coefficient wasn't skyhigh.

It's just so wrong!

I will make bets this version will never see production. I *could* be wrong, but I don't think I am. And I sure as hell hope I'm not especially if rumors are true that the GTR may one day see US shores.

Please, Nissan, keep that thing over there!

Carlos Ghosn that rat @&%#&%@^(*@$^$*#&&Q#^%)#^$*&@ I hated this concept from the minute I saw it. Adding insult to injury it wont even have the rb in it but the vq making it a glorified 350z . Hopefully they will bring the silvia instead of that crap here.

wow, I've seen mag pics, but this one really blows me away, it's incredible. I read the EVO article when they interviewd the chief car designer, and after reading that I appreciate the car much more. I'm glad that he stayed with the design of the past 33 adn 34, how they were very fat and almost too porky, it's better than watering it down for non-Japanese tastes, especially for the taste challenged American car buyers.

I just hope they won't change it too resemble the Z, keep it exotic!!!!

The buff flares of the R35 remind me of this car..










That's why he drives it...
