The front bumper intakes have been enlargened and the whole bumper reworked in general to add more sculpture, whilst including some design elements from the R34 Skyline V-Spec II and Z-Tune. I then went ahead with 'splitting' the front grille area into two distinct sections - a nod to the previous Skylines. I really miss the horizontally-aligned headlight placement of the previous generation Skylines so that was the first (and main) change to this. *2021 Nissan GTR NISMO Z-Tune* OK that's not really a thing but I've been working on this redesign recently and the idea behind it was to give the new GTR NISMO an added touch of classic greatness. Returning to the fate of the Nissan GT-R, the Japanese automotive producer has stated that both this and the also-aging 370Z have a certain future.Īnd while there haven't been any Godzilla clues to date, we've published the first spyshots of the new Z car just yesterday. The icing on this generation-connecting cake comes from the R34 Skyline rear wing, which simply couldn't be skipped. The area between the A and the B pillars is unchanged, so we have to move over to the now-inflated rear arch, which fits the 2007 design that is the R35 perfectly, at least from this angle. And we can say the same about the vent adorning the hood of the vehicle. And while the machine does pack plenty of track day assets, its financial side is still miles away from the $69,850 base price of the original 2008 model year GT-R, even if the two values are also set apart by inflation (the latter hasn't been adjusted for this).Ĭhief among the revisions we have here is the return to the horizontal headlight setup, while the front grille is now split into two areas.įans of the R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II and Z-Tune will recognize the fresh styling features of the front apron. Keep in mind that we're talking about the most expensive R35 to date, with its MSRP sitting at a $212,435. The 2020 GT-R Nismo was chosen as the starting point for this visual adventure. Of course just looking at the GTR makes me smile.Despite the platform change and the serious design gap between the two generations of the Japanese cult car, the result looks surprisingly appealing. Maybe I'll wait a while for the GTR, or just dump more money into the Evo I already love so much. however, now I'm thinking that my 03' Evo still puts a smile on my face EVERY day. I was REALLY looking at a GTR hard as of late. One is ALWAYS fun ANYWHERE, the other is fun in the right environment, but mostly scary everywhere else. got 4.5 bikes at the house now, and I mostly ride a 06' Z1000 445lbs wet (130whp), and a 07' GSXR 1000 just over 400lbs wet (185 hp at clutch). I just need to break it in and do trackdays already I see your point and understand. Otherwise it's just overkill for the street. If you're into stoplight drags, car meets, 2n'd and 3rd gear pulls with other cars, this is THE must have car. Given the price of the GTR, it's size, having to go way fast to have fun (it's so composed), and of course the fear of speeding tickets or worse, crashing, I'm just not having as much fun driving it around. When I had my evo, every side road was a rally course, winding onramps, dirt roads, snow, rain, it was just good fun. Problem is, they're usually testing this car on big race tracks. Don't get me wrong, the GTR is great and the reviews are spot on. Constant throttle control is a by product of big power but isn't fun. On the 10, you have to add the third element of throttle control because you're in constant fear of highsiding. You can pin the throttle on the ZX-6 coming out of corners and on the straights so you can focus on turning and braking.
