Thread: Leaked Photos and Specs of the 2007 Skyline GTR

Here's a quote of the Insiders Review on IGN:

...exterior design on the all-wheel track terror is close to final. The official launch dated has been reportedly set for 2007 with the vehicle bowing in as a late 2007 or early 2008...

...the car will use some form of Nissan V6 in the VQ family. Yes, it'll be based off the same award-winning VQ35DE powerplant that is used in practically every Nissan in production. It won't be the 3.5L naturally aspirated mill that we've seen in the 350Z and G35. Some industry know-it-alls suggest that it will use a larger displacement 3.7-4.0L version of the same engine mated to a twin-turbo setup. Tuning and engineering has been done by the racing experts at Cosworth. We've heard that the car will have at least 400 hp and up to 500, but we think 450 sounds more realistic. No torque figures have been announced. If the horsepower-to-torque ratio similar to that of the existing VQ, don't expect those numbers to be far behind the ponies.

Other performance features are, supposedly, a positive-boost turbo system. This means that the GT-R will never fall into negative boost and, like a supercharger, will always have boost available. This should make power delivery very linear, but, once again, we have yet to hear official word from the PR machine at Nissan. The last bit of vital info to the GT-R legend is the use of a seven-speed CVT transmission with an all-wheel drive system. This seems an obvious choice, except for the seven-speed tranny.

Hmmmm...YES I WANT ONE!
