The new GT-R is going to flat out own. I can't wait until they take the wraps off the production version of this sucker and unleash it onto the public.
On a side note the new GT-R is no longer associated with the Skyline nameplate. It is no longer the top trim level of the Skyline range as it was in the past. In other words it's simply the Nissan GT-R, not the Skyline GT-R.

The picture was taken in New Mexico. Hence the mountains. Nissan has a proving grounds out near Phoenix, it probably came from there.
Quote from the guy who took the pic:
Quote from the guy who took the pic:
Around 5:30 Monday night, Keith (evo4g63) and I were heading down Cerrillos Road when we spotted the silver prototype Nissan Skyline, along with 2 black Armadas turning into an Amigo Mart on the opposite side of the road. Being that this was a rare sighting, we quickly flipped a "U" and pulled into the station. As we pulled in, the car surrounded by roughly 12 Asian guys who were logging information. Hoping that they spoke English, we decided to get down to talk with them about the car. I asked one of the guys what he thought of the car, and you guessed it, he had no idea what I was saying. However, he did manage to whisper a question into my ear, "you know GTR", in which I replied, "heck yes". As he asked me that, I noticed a large bulge on the right hand side of the covered interior. To my pleasant surprise it was a Japanese version Skyline equipped with factory turbos. We spoke with the reps from Nissan Japan a bit longer, and after a good 10-15 minutes of leg humping, let them get back on the road. The car has Michigan plates, and is being tested on US roads, so make sure to keep an eye out for it!

im not to sold on the looks. but im sure the power, handling, braking, etc will be on par. it may not be the best out of the box, but im sure when people start modding them, they will be a force that needs to be delt with.

Looks more like someone tried to do with a 350z what that Vette magazine did with the C6 making everyone think it was that new "Blue Devil."
If it wasn't for the thread title, I would thought it was a 350Z.
