SPY PHOTOS: Nissan Skyline GT-R

These are the best shots yet of what’s to become Nissan’s answer to cars like the new Audi R8 and the future Lexus LF-H.

The all-new Nissan Skyline GT-R, likely to be introduced in spring 2007 as a 2008 model, was snapped testing at the Nürburgring in Germany by Nissan’s motorsport department.

The car features relatively thin disguising and yet gives away major details such as air-intakes in the front fenders and on the bonnet as well as two pairs of impressive exhaust pipes and a huge rear wing.

Reportedly, the car will be equipped with a 4.5-litre V8 delivering some 450 bhp.

I didn't say that you said.

It's just that everytime a new model is out, huge speculations about copying arises.

Excellent marketing pics from Nissan. Perfect for creating that pre-launch hype.

I don't know... there's definitely something screaming 'American' in the shape of the car.

Does anyone know if this is a product of the design studio in California or was it done in Japan?

Roofline and side mirrors remind a little on CCR:

Just a little though...

"In our Christmas Special, we revealed what the stunning coupé will look like - and now bosses are teasing fans of the car with this official image of the badge

The logo replaces the Skyline name tag, and will appear on the newcomer when it makes its world debut at October's Tokyo Motor Show. It's due here in 2008, priced around £50,000.

A 480bhp 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 will ensure the Nissan has the punch to take on the competition, which will include Lexus's forthcoming V10 LF-A.

The GT-R also gets advanced four-wheel drive for maximum traction, plus a clever clutchless manual gearbox, similar to VW's DSG. Despite the huge power output, engineers claim the model will be easy for novices to handle, yet also provide enough fun for experienced drivers. (AutoExpress) "

I think this and the new performance Lexus would be stunning.

I like what I see.

The Nissan Skyline has always been an exotic and the styling has always been so "typical Japanese sports car". When you saw a Skyline, you knew it was Japanese and not American, European or Korean.

I see a lot of elements from the Nissan 350Z and R34 Skyline here. Although I think the Nissan 350Z is hideously ugly, I feel these design cues mixed with the R34 styling cues make for a nice and sporty looking car. I also enjoy the futuristic style this car seems to have.

No doubt it'll be a killer.
