Hi all,

I was looking around, and found this article on a new Skyline GT-R (http://www.caranddriver.com/article....rticle_id=8707). Anyone know anything about it?

What caught my eye was this:

There are conflicting reports out of Japan regarding the powerplant. One camp believes the GT-R will be powered by a Cosworth-developed twin-turbo version of the current 3.5-liter V-6, offering at least 450 horsepower. Others believe a new twin-turbo 3.2-liter V-6 will get the call.

 

mmm...that STi looks kick ***. (I'm a prior service WRX owner)

 

I had posted this a few months ago. Only thing is that the GT-R is going to be too expensive for most of us with G's.

 

why arent they makin the GT-R in-line 6?
i prefer the look of the current sti than the next model...

 

Hmm, I think the WRX keeps getting uglier and uglier. My favorite was the WRX w/ the rectangular lights, but that wasn't even sold in the States. I didn't like the oval lights but they are better than the current 'rectangle with circle dips' lights. That concept sketch is hideous! The face looks like a cross-eyed Quasimoto Celica w/ a big honker and wearing glasses (hence the 4 eyes/headlights).

At least it keeps the price down.....the STi is very fast, but if it looked as gorgeous as a G35, the price would have to be $40k instead of 30k!
