HERE IT IS!! Nissan GT-R embargo broken by MotorTrend!

[flyingfridge]

Without any bullshit, this is it! The one we've been waiting for! All the shittiness of the GT-R Proto's front end has been fixed!

One word: Ugly

0-60 in 3.5 and a 11.7 quarter? Damn that's fast.. Judging by that photo, looks pretty good too!

so hot... now i have to go buy motor trend

One word: Ugly

Indeed

I enjoyed the concept much more.

Despite the fact they've been so popular - I've never been much of a Skyline GT-R fan. But I really, quite genuinely liked the GT-R Prototype. Now they've made the changes and got rid of the carbon fiber section that extended the headlights down towards the front bar and I don't like it anymore. Those really made the difference, I thought they looked really cool.

What a shame. Its still good looking but I dunno Can't argue with its performance though...


More importantly - anyone got a scan on the German trio comparo

Headlamps look like the last gen Celica.

A "Corvette killer" eh? That's a very bold statement to make. It will be interesting to see if it lives up to that nickname.

edit: that pic up there is NOT the original cover pic of the MotorTrend magazine. Here are some good shots from motorauthority.com

Prefer the proto. Thats not quite the fucking GT-R I hoped for.

On top of that : is this the base model or is the top end one gonna get more eye candy ?

Ya reckon? Coz I think it looks like a little fat kid who's cheeks move up to squish his eyes closed when he grins...

 

[Spazatao]

God, I want one. In black, please.
Maybe not as good looking as the Proto but, with the inumerous aftermarket parts that will come, at least ONE of them might give it a better fascia.

They just chopped the front end off the new mitsubishi lancer and glued it on......proto looked much better.

 

[Redliner]

Wow. Those performance figures are very impressive.

Exactly what I was thinking. I still lust after one though.

 

[Danny Tran]

Looks like a Celica.

 

[ryosuke]

wtf where they thinking?!?

first they design such a great concept and then they just make it incredibly ugly?

 

[thedguy]

Looks like a fucked up fishes face!

 

[watto]

I don't give a shit what it looks like (OK, so maybe if it looked like a Ssangyong it'd be different, but it doesn't so shut up), I just want one!!!

 

[GM_IV]

Looks like a Celica.

Indeed, very similar silver to the last gen Celica, similar headlights but a not as nice grille. I liked the last Celica's design quite a lot, this GT-R to me is...ok.

 

[vRS]

It's a good thing it's fast as you wouldn't want to look at it.....

I prefered some of the agression of the proto, it's been calmed down way too much.

Figures are good though. That's .4 seconds quicker to 60 than a 911 turbo. That'll do thanks.
