i believe this is the same mule as the one they were testing at Nurburgring
the final car will look more like this:

Yeah, not digging the widebody G35 look.
On a similar note: What the heck is with all the G35 drivers in SoCal putting "Skyline" badges on their car? Anyone else notice this trend??

From what I've read the production model is not far off of this concept. The G35 body is just being used for testing of the underpinnings of the real GT-R (a test mule and common practice for designers).

skyline GT-R is the top performance trim of the skyline model.

so basically they're pretending to have something they don't have, which is only available in Japan?

yep 
, its kinda dumb IMO.
but they arnt really pretending, since g35 and skyline 350gt is the same car. they just brought it over to the US under infiniti instead of nissan and changed the name, the car is the same. more power to them i guess if they want to change to JDM badging. I
I used to think its pretty lame, until they had the miss G35driver poll lol, and one of the girls had the JDM badgings, and well she made me change my mind i guess

It would be sad to rebadge a Skyline GTS as a GTR though.
