i think it's entirely up to the marketing at nissan. afterall, the demands for a fire-breathing AWD coupe isn't that great in the US if it doesn't have that V8 rumble.

the majority of people who know what's a skyline are probably under 25, and i don't think parents will buy their kids GTR's.

looks plenty G35ish to me - longer body (least that how it looks), side exhaust or whatever those things are, and a low-height spoiler instead of a lip-spoiler

I dont think they have oficially released any numbers but it looks pretty heavy. And I too am pretty skeptical about the 0-60 time.

As for the price, I thought it was rumoured to be around the 80k range.

like a few already stated, looks like a 350Z/G35 hybird with a little bit Skyline added in. It's probably gonna look like the shot someone already posted in this thread.

Same, I think they did a worse job remodeling the car compared to how the R-34 looked back then. O well, the performance should make up for it.
