I’ve heard rumors of a 3.3L vq engine, a VQ33DETT to be exact, pumping out 450bhp..
But I’d prefer a V8 myself.

That agreement has been abolished in mid-2004.

I don’t know about UK, but in Japan it is a gentlemen’s agreement to quote only 280hp for their cars. Unless you are talking aftermarket stuff/tuners.

If I’m not mistaken, the 280hp limit is something the UK govt has imposed or linked to insurance costs.

I remember reading it in a magazine a long time ago.

^_^ lets hope so

im tired of people calling NSX a poor man’s supercar because of the 280hp cap!
400hp nsx? say it aint so… :>

350 hp skyline… vroom

On the contrary Swee, the new Skyline will most likely be above the 280hp mark. True the Japanese limit has always been 280 but the figures for the 2006 Subaru Impreza horsepower count is 300. Nissan also wants to sell the GT-R in other countries instead of limiting it to Japan only.

This will definitely make the horsepower count go up as Nissan wouldnt want to disappoint in the engine department eg: 350Z or higher displacement vehicles

Ooooooooooo! Drool factor X infinity! Huh… I WISH they really made the car exactly like the prototype drawings la… But like some of youse said, it will be most unlikely…

In my most humble opinion, I think car makers spend lots of cash on prototypes because it is the way forward to making/designing safer, more stylish and generally, better cars. When you have a radical idea, you make a prototype to test it out. This is because more often than not, what looks good on paper and in the test phases i.e. theoretical, might just not work out in a practical environment. For example the various addons designed for F1 cars. They look impressive in wind tunnel testing and all that, but when snapped on onto the car, they don’t work so well. This is because there are many other variables, like wind pressure, humidity, debris, temperature, etc. Basically, factors that just cannot be tested in a closed environment i.e. test phase.

So, they will build a prototype test car. Of course, they want to build the car looking as radical as possible to get noticed. This is helpful in boosting sales and getting investments, among other things…

Just my humble humble opinion!

Wow not bad, now thats what I call a GTR.

By: swee

WOW…

that pics made me came, and the v35 looked good (not stock, stock really needs work).

personally i dont think it will surpass the 280hp gentlemans agreement between the manufacturers and the japanese governent. However USDM versions of the car might just have a more powerful engine: wrx had 2.5 L 300 hp engine instead of the JDM 2.0L (wrc standard).

BTW, feast your eyes on the Top secret v35 GTR. even if it doesnt come out liek the concept pics, i really hope it will at least look liek this

i have no idea why Nissan spend money to design concept cars…..
why don’t use it in R&D for a hybrid car???

What i want to say is that: GUYS, dont expect the car will look like what it is in the pix above.. that is just a drawings ~~ the actual model may differ from the pictures u saw. There is quite a lot examples that the drawings of the car is nice, but the real model doesnt looks as nice as the drawings.. ~~ for example, the new 2005 WRX STi ~~ (but i din say that the real car doesnt looks nice, just hv a distance from the drawings..)

The reason why the GT-R Prototype is so streamlined in because Nissan wanted a more aerodynamic model and based it on a supercar concept doing away with the sedan like look of the car. Specwise, nothing has been announced, guess another 10 days to find out.
