Nissan GT*R Proto - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

If this is the direction their going with the body style on the next gen Skyline/ GtR's, than I'm in..I think this thing looks incredible. Some of the other versions I'd seen made me cringe, but this thing is sexy.

Video and photos

No details on power or drivetrain configs yet, but I'm intersted for sure. I think I'm going to have a tough time in 07 when it's time to buy a new car.

Here's some speculation on power from Autoweek.

"Latest estimates move the power target north to 450 or even 500 hp, with speculation centering on either a twin-turbo variation of the current 3.5-liter V6 as found in the 350Z and Infiniti G35, or a version of the Infiniti 4.5 liter V8"

I'll take the v-8

From the inside, our Nissan Corporate representative tells basically, don't hold your breath. There's been talk of Nissan selling us a USDM Skyline for years now, yet nothing has ever before been set in stone, nor is there now. Our rep said that it very well may happen (notice the "may happen" part), but despite what you've read on the Interweb, or what your cousin's bestfriend's uncle's dog's barber's neighbor told you, it's not DEFINITELY on it's way, yet. . .

I.E. you may not even be able to buy one in '07 when you're ready for a new car (sorry matt). It's possible, but not for sure.

Links/Sources please. I've heard a lot about the EVO X - but it's only been in Japanese!

tysonK · 2005-11-04, 02:26 PM

That's a concept production of the new EVO I'm guessing the rear fenders and headlights will be toned down.

I get all my info from teh evom forums Ryan.
