because thats what it is actually, all infinitis are nissans and all lexus are actually toyotas in japan, so in japan this coupe is sold as skyline where as in the US it is sold as infiniti G37..same thing, no even an ounce of a diff

why is the tread move it has nothing to do with 2008 nissan skyline coupe this is about the gtr an its timings.

ported_head · 6th May 2007, 14:51

It started out as a Skyline thread, but involves GT-R discussion too. There is another thread that involves discussion of the GT-R and the EVO X. If you would like it there, I'll move it.

pawan · 6th May 2007, 14:54

this has nothing to do with either of the cars its just the timings that its creating and top 4 place.it would be good if its move to its original tread.

I think this data is totally off..no way can a 450hp car beat the 612hp 3150lb Carrera GT and 650hp 2800lb Zonda F by this big a margin, I think its 7:50 that was mis-interpreted as 7:15, that can easily be done and 7:50 is an awesome time for the GTR which was trying to compete with the 7:47 marking 911 Turbo..

GTR pics (The real thing)

UNDISGUISED: 2009 Nissan GT-R - AutoWeek
Tokyo Auto Show: Edmunds InsideLine Is Nice, Lets Us Link To Their 2009 Nissan GT-R Photos - Jalopnik

Does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, quarter-mile in 11.7. Price < $80K.
Nice, but the front-end is a total turn-off. It works beautifully in an Audi; but the Evo X and GTR front-ends are totally meh.

payam · 17th October 2007, 11:04

I agree with you,front end doesnt match GTR at all but its surely a monster.
Still like the gtr34 and 32 more than this one.

torqueunlimited · 17th October 2007, 18:06

It looks like a 350Z with a widebody and smaller headlights. Though the figures look yummy!

chetanhanda · 20th October 2007, 00:14

Didn't like the new GTR.
I just love the classic older GTR's , for me GTR is dead. The Nismo Z tune was the last ultimate Skyline for me.
Why cant they do something to the styling the way Ford did for the mustang ? The new mustang is definately recognizable as a Mustang, u can see the similarities in styling - just that the new Mustang has a slight modern feel to it but the basic shape and lines are like the original classic.
The new GTR looks as gay as the Infinity G35 with a body kit.

cheap_deal · 20th October 2007, 09:29

who cares about the front end, when a car can go this fast nobody is gonna see it.
under $80k sounds nice.

speedy · 20th October 2007, 13:53

the car does not deserve to get the skyline badge at all. it looks more like the teanna coupe. nissan could have done much better.

the car does'nt get the skyline badge ...... its called the GT-R

Renders have leaked online that speculate that Infiniti might use the new GTRs underpinnings for a whole slew of variants. Rumor is they'll use the GTR's powerful engine and make a competitor to the BMW CS and Mercedes CLS.

Look at this website to look at brand new renders of what the Infiniti GTR might look like.

I guess this was just a matter of time really - Infiniti is a premium brand for Nissan and competes with the likes of BMW/Mercedes. Infiniti could do a lot more with a GTR-type car to battle the BMW 6 series and Mercedes SL.
