GT-R Skyline spyshots
Here are some spyshots of the upcoming Beast from the East
Gosh, I think this is going to be a serious Porsche basher

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
Power bogeys put the mill in the range of 450 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of twist.  great 'use' of the English language. shock horror could this be the first Skyline thats not butt ugly????  can still think of at least 100 cars id buy before even considering a skyline, still only one 'proper' car to have come out of japan and that was the NSX.

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
Please tell me the "mule" camouflage isn't hiding Impreza like ugly bug eyes
I would never have considered a skyline previously, but I have to say that those pictures caused an instant of recalculation.
Respect where respect is due - after the excellent 350z it looks like Nissan are continuing to raise their game

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
I saw something similar yesterday, it looked like a Coupe based on a 350Z, I know the 350Z is a Coupe but this had the same/similar front end but looked longer and a rear like a late prelude not as sloping as a 350Z, it was definately a Nissan, it was a 53 plate? searching the web it looked like an Infinity Gcoupe though more aggressive, pretty much what that photo looks like.

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
Whilst waiting for the GT-R, you guys in the UK are gonna get this upgraded 350Z … 
Which to me is plenty of car for £36,000

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
A visual mix of Toyota Celica and Mistubishi Eclipse. It looks okay, but I find the Alfas much more pleasant to the eye. Now if only Japanese manufacturers would work with Giugiaro, for example... :-)

Re: GT-R Skyline spyshots
Yes its not exactly Italian emotional design flair, but given that you just know its ging to be a hell of a car (based on the abiltities of the current model), the purposeful lines match its own heritage I think. IMHO relatively understated for what the car actually is.

Then, we'd stop buying Italian cars  ...
