I don't know where that came from, seriously though, I was thinking the same. I love that look, reminds me of a jet.

PS. I love the rear, love the profile, front could use a little work. I like the lights, not really the droopy part, maybe if the whole thing was thinner. I dunno. I'd spend my dollars on it if it lives up to the hype

I hope youve got a lot of dollars to spend because its out of most people's price range. its going to be an infiniti and priced 70k-80k, going up against the next acura NSX and lexus LF-A super cars in the US. will probably depreciate slow as hell too.

I really like the pictures, but some numbers/videos or even just more pics would be absolutely wonderful.

looks sweet but I'd wait to see what Toyota and Honda have up their sleeve. the GTR looks like a done up 350/G35 morph.

Looks like the drawings in all the JDM mags. It doesn't look right... maybe computer enhanced/retouched... maybe they did it to take off the disguise. Dunno. But it looks acurate.

JDM mags have had many pics of the test mules which were Skyline GT35/G35c with fender flares, air damn, big *** tires and "RX-8 -like" oil cooler openings.

The latest word which was going into detail with pics/photoshops (?) of the various engines tested, said that it is supposed to use aluminum space frame in the front and rear to save weight. AWD will be via an entirely new ATTESA system.

Dayum it looks pretty mean. I like everything except the long narrow headlights. Hopefully that's one of the things they'll rethink before rolling the first GT-R off the assembly line. Definately worth the wait though IMHO.

Is it me or does the GT-R and the Mitsu Concept X have extremely similar front ends on them?

Everyone has.

Anyways, i'm kinda dissapointed that this car doesn't have an interior. I mean really. They have been developing this thing for god knows how long, the other concept was shown in 2001. Would and interior be too much to ask?
