The Nissan V35 GT-R
Skyline concept from 2001 reappeared as the GT-R Proto
concept in 2005.
The concept displays similarities with the V35 concept,
with the tall dark headlights and angular lines running
off the front wing. The GT-R Proto also features an attractive
Stratos-style wrap
around windscreen and trademark Skyline quadruple afterburner
tail lights.
There was some speculation that the GT-R Proto may be
manufactured under the upmarket Infiniti badge, but Nissan
later revealed this to be false. Unlike the previous Skyline
which was a Japan-only model with all European and American
cars imports, the production Nissan GT-R will be sold
officially in all markets. Sales in Japan started in 2007,
and in 2008 they began elsewhere.
The original Skyline's 2+2 seating configuration remains,
but power for the GT-R Proto comes from a twin-turbo
V6 as the original cars straight six engine is no longer
in production.
