a new VQ41DE is under development.

the V36 Chassis will most likely be what the next GTR will be based on.

Looks nice. I wonder what the interior looks like.
Nissan also seems to really like their VQ series engine... its in everything they've got pretty much.

umm..it looks like a G35 Coupe rear end merged into a Nissan Maxima.
I strongly doubt they will make it to a 4.1 liter 330 hp engine either. First, 2005 G35 will get 300hp from the 3.5 already, second, the 4.1 liter is too close in displacement to their flagship 4.5 V8. Marketing ppl will not allow this to happen.

I saw couple of R34 4 doors in Japan when I visited few month's back..
But they are not powerful like the GTR.. And don't know if they got any turbo.

Urrgh... not really hits my taste. Nothing will match the R34 in terms of looks anyway

I actually like almost all Nissan cars right now. There are of course exceptions. ie. the sentra. A good car for its value, but I don't like it.

humm maybe nissan has lost it´s potential to make sports cars....it looks like more a luxury cadillac than a real sport nissan skyline...maybe they should inspire theirself in the R32 or R33 with a modern look , but not a luxury look

It doesn't look sporty at all. But maybe when Nissan launches the new GT-R (scheduled for 2007), they will redesign the looks of that car to give it a more aggressive look? I hope they do, cause this one hasn't the appeal of a R32, R33 or R34.
