SOOOOO this new GTR...kinda gay. It dosn't look very stauch...Looks kinda like a merc from the right angles. Am i correct in saying they droped the RB config for the new GTR? If so...WHAT THE FUCK! Thats like the RX7 droping the rotor. The way i saw it the GTR had the RB26 config and that made it what it was. That was the GTR. The twin turb inline 6. This is just me but it makes me sad that the GTR is losing the icon that made it was it was...
i maybe be wrong, but i believe they are using the vg35dett in the new setup. I could be wrong so dont quote me as the design has changed many times.
I doubt they would use the VG.... i heard it was a variant of the VQ. Like a VQ35 or something along those lines.
I havent liked the look of the new skyline, but after seeing the proto, i'm growing more fond of it. W/o the inline six rb though... it wont be the same.
I kinda photoshopped it (badly). i dont like the black panels on the front.

They try'd to go way to futurestic i think, to many wavy lines, its not defined or very orignal...cause it looks like the Z.
The same thing was said about the R34... by R33 owners and lovers...and the same thing was said about 33 from 32 lovers.. .. some just don't like change.. get used to to it..it's not 1991 anymore.
It doesn't look like the Z.. unless you're visually impaired.

I don't know how bright you really are, but they haven't made the RB series motor in something like 3 years.
If you don't like the new GTR, the answer is simple, DON'T BUY THE DAMN CAR!
dude, you know that the RB isnt the signifying icon when it comes to the skyline. the first GT-R skyline was powered by an L series, and then progressively moved to the FJ, and then the RB. all of those motors were considered over engineered, and i dont think nissan will do injustice to the skyline. at least i hope they dont. besides the VQ is now proven as one of the best engines for street or race trim.

btw. those "black panels" are just unpainted carbon fiber. so all you people out there puting carbon fiber hoods, trunks, blah blah blah and hating on the "black panels" just sound like complete imbeciles. and the talk about this car not being original? haha. i don't know how original you want to get. and do your research. the rb doesn't make the gt-r. yes it was an amazing engine but it was old. it was time to retire it a legend.
and btw. the 2 main iconic themes in a gt-r are the 2 circle taillights (which this one has) and amazing power capability (and only time will tell with this). so saying that the gt-r is losing it's icon? that makes no sense at all.

After watching the video(s) on the GTR Proto site, I am thoroughly convinced that the next GTR is going to have a V8. Also, considering the competition they are going up against, it will most likely have 450 HP, at the very least. 450 to 500 HP would be my guess.

Please to be telling me where in this statement i said that the RB "makes the gtr" and where i was "hating on the black panels."
I know what they are and what they're for. I said in my post that i removed them because they were ugly. So naturally you could deduce from that statement that i am not a fan of the look of carbon fiber. If the car were mine i would have those sections painted. How exactly does that make me an imbicile? I fail to see why you would attack somone and call them an imbicile just because they dont like the carbon panels...You are making too many ignorant assumptions
I agree with you on your other points. I do like the look of the car. I'm glad it retained the circular tails as well as the fact that it will be quite capable performance wise.
Some people can deal w/ change, others cant. I'm glad to see people embracing the change because this car is no slouch.
