A car that can't be beat?

Ok, everybody copies some of the styles of a winning design. Notice the bulging fenders, the strakes and the hood's design Who knows how much of this stuff is real anyway?

That is an old design that predates the G35 Coupe which is the Skyline Coupe in the rest of the world. It is going to prove to be a strong contender when they release it in 2007. It is coming stateside.

Speaking of taking ideas, anyone seen Jaguar's new concept with suicide doors like our beloved Rx-8?

Still looks like a bar of soap, just a little more fancy.

R-D6 Jaguar Concept Car

They know a good design when they see one. Nice car and way out of my price line when they make it into production, I am sure.

I fail to see any sign of the RX-8 in the GT-R concept.

I see the resemblence in the first pic. The fender buldge and stakes closley resemble that particular section of the 8.

But I think the 8 better overall though.
