A little more on the impression and releasing ...

The enthusiast world has been waiting for the next Nissan Skyline for some time now, particularly American enthusiasts, who are set to get their first factory-sanctioned taste of the performance legend when it makes it into US showrooms for the first time.

Looking very close to the sensational GTR-Proto concept shown back in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the 2008 Skyline appears to be in its final stages of development, as evidenced by these KGP Photography shots of the car caught testing at the Nürburgring.

While all previous Skylines were sedan-derived, the new model will reportedly gain its own two-door architecture, which bodes well for the car from a performance standpoint.

Prevailing rumors have the car taking on a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, itself derived from the engine in the 350Z. Power bogeys put the mill in the range of 450 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of twist. In true Skyline fashion, the car will be all-wheel-drive, with a further evolution of the GT-R’s electronic ATTESA ET-S torque-sensing system, tied into a four-wheel steering system.

All of which should be good for a 0-60 miles-per-hour time of well under 4 seconds, and a top speed somewhere on the ambitious end of 180 mph.
 
thats just awesome specs....look at the freaking twin exhausts! walau @ 450hp stock!....dont need to upgrade anything....just buy and drive....hehe
 
Hmmmm

Where's The Gtr Rear Fender Bulge? V6... Wish They Stick To Straight 6. There's A Reason Why Bmw Still Uses Straight 6.. V6 Will Never Be As Smooth As Straight 6 Configuration. Feel Like New Skyline Has Loss Its Classic Lines
 
New japanese emissions laws, thats why its now a V6.
Man, u r right, no need to mod, just keep it stock!
Dr.D, ur right too, it has lost the mean muscle car look. But still looks awesome tho, more Porche/350Zish style.. but with a streak of Beast. Like a 350Z anger management student, especially from the rear... *grrr*... next generation GTR none the less!!! I also like the way they made the side vents, streamline with the doors.. very stylish..
Testing on the Nurburgring.. wonder whats its best lap time.. probably under 7 mins!! :)
Tan Sri Drift, you thinking of getting one?
Wonder whats the price tag? *eyes getting wider* $$$??? slurrp.. :) :) :)
