Nissan Skyline R35 GTR Concept

Feb 08, 2004 | By: Matyas Varga - SRO

Nissan will continue building the GT-R in the 21st Century, providing the ultimate driving pleasure to even more people worldwide. In its next generation Nissan is looking to introduce the GT-R to markets worldwide.
In pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure

Successive generations of the GT-R have consistently pursued the ultimate in driving pleasure. Over the years, the GT-R has continued to be a supreme-performance road-going car that delivers superb driving pleasure by responding faithfully to the driver's demands. Just sitting in the driver's seat of the GT-R produces a feeling of excitement!
Consistently providing the best specifications available in every era

With its unrivaled power, the engine has delivered outstanding acceleration and top speed combined with a driving sensation.

A superior braking system has provided powerful braking performance, and an outstanding suspension has enabled the GT-R to corner with remarkable quickness.

The GT-R has been the showcase for the highest levels of acceleration, cornering and stopping capabilities. The delicate balance between the powerful engine and responsive suspension has been pushed as each system surpassed last generation technology. As a result of that never-ending process, the GT-R has continued to embody the most advanced technologies available in every era.
Expanding the tradition globally in the 21st-Century

Nissan is developing a new generation of GT-R for the 21st Century with the aim of placing it in the spotlight of the global stage, beyond the borders of the Japanese market.

Not interested in it. It'll never live up to the previous 3 models because Nissan no long uses straight 6 engines. It'll most likely be a V6 with a turbo or a V8. And with the chassis they have to choose from 350z/g35, there's little room for an AWD drivetrain.

Hence it'll never really be a GTR, although I'm sure Nissan will pull some magical features out of it's ass.

I'm a huge fan of skylines, but not even a mother could love the face of that hideous creation.

The G35 comes with AWD as an option, so that won't be a problem for the new skyline.

1) Nissan has been using an engine dubbed "VQ30DET" in their JGTC car for a couple years now. It's a de-stroked VQ35DE with high revability. As well, two japanese nissan models, the Cedric and Gloria already use a turbocharged VQ.

2) The G35/350Z platform is already available with an AWD system, just none with a manual transmission. The problem is, Nissan didn't have a manual developed yet that could handle the torque. Apparently they've been working on it closely with Renault.

3) Although rumours in the first concepts of the R35 have said a possible V8. It won't happen.

4) IF we're going to see this car, look for it in 2008, 2009.

Still not interested. Skyline's just don't do it for me anymore. I've been in a few R32's over the past 6 months, they feel like Nissan Stanza's....flat dashes, weird positioning of stuff....take a seat in one if you have a chance, then go sit in a comparable MK4 and 300ZX...It's like going from a desk to a cockpit.

You're failing to understand that the Skyline (especially the R32) is a down-to-business sportscar based on a Family Sedan. The 300ZX is a classier car, granted, but it is not nearly as capable on the track as its AWD brother. The Mk4 is tough to compare to an R32 GTR in that the R32 GTR was introduced in 1989, the Mk4 in 1993. The Japanese sportscar market changed significantly in those years.

Personally the R32 isn't up to my styling tastes, and lacks in refinement compared to the much more aesthetically pleasing R33 GTR. However given that the JDM Mk4 will be legal to import before the R33 will be, it's not hard to geuss which one will be in MY driveway.

Look at the roof from the A-pillar all the way to the back of the C-pillar... it looks almost identical to the G35/350. I bet thats the same unibody that the G35 or 350 (I know they are different wheelbases) is based on.
