Photoshopped: Nissan GT-R Convertible?
Click images above for enlarged image
Will Nissan ever come up with a drop top version of the GT-R to face off the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? I don’t believe there was ever a convertible version of the original Skyline GT-R series. Its little brother (now outdated though) the 350Z had a version without a roof though. Anyway to tease our imagination a little Theophilus Chin has whipped up the images you see above – the Nissan GTR-C! What do you think?

I prefer the top down version of the photoshopped picture. It really looked good.
Top up, maybe it made the car looked too small.

Not so attractive…looks like a small car….nampak cam size MR3 jek….hehe

A bit ugly to my liking. I always have a picture in mind that GTR is a solid build man with power. Taking the roof off is like a tough man wearing a skirt.

without the roof, its body rigidity will suffer.. not good for the handling..

I don’t think it suits the macho image of this car, however, people will still buy it if Nissan makes it. I’d rather they make a sedan or wagon variant

Nice Ps for the car. But seriously the car doesn’t look nice. Don’t like it at all.

Not nice…a bit weird looking. I think GTR not suit for convertible design, lack of beauty of convertible car.

weird
September 1, 2009 @ 12:29 pm

everyone claim it to be a supercar but on 0 to 60mph it close to 3.6second…
but on 3.6 second car wit a softtop is not realible enough…..

Salute to Theo!
September 1, 2009 @ 3:14 pm

September 1, 2009 @ 4:25 pm
Batter do hard top rather soft top. Will make look still macho….
September 1, 2009 @ 4:27 pm
Theo is my idol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I think this looks really great!
Really like how the line around the window has been maintained and I think a soft top would suit the car really well.
Can’t wait to see it NIssan!

Ulgy bulky GT-R
September 1, 2009 @ 5:50 pm
No way. It will ruin the handling characteristics of the car if go for convertible

Hey..
I read the blog often and have noticed Theopilus’ work before.. unfortunately i never took the time to express my sheer respect for his artwork.
Dude, that piece on the drop top GTR is as real as any graphically inclined person is going to get man..
Kudos to you Theo!
Oh Paultan… if you have space for article contributors, be sure to lemme know man. i love cars, love driving and i love writing!

great effort from Theo… but I personally think that convertible shouldnt be applicable to GTR… this will totally lose what GTR means… to me, it seems that convertibles are only for cars without passion or the designers who run out of ideas… no convertible for GTR please! a big no no…
September 1, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
not a fan, but still the top down looks better than top up. maybe a spyder will be better.
September 2, 2009 @ 1:25 am
i think paul, it will be named nissan GT-C. juz like the previous GT-S
September 2, 2009 @ 2:30 am
a big NO…
September 2, 2009 @ 5:29 am
No offence, but i think Theo became lazy, he didn’t even put a safety bar or whatever u call it for a convertible car….
September 2, 2009 @ 11:33 am
ugly mully
September 2, 2009 @ 2:54 pm
Some cabriolet has visible safety bar, some has hidden ones that pops up in emergency.
September 2, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
Nice, but actually GTR doesn’t look so good even in the coupr mode. But good photoshop work.:)
September 2, 2009 @ 5:08 pm
not sure the roof can cope the with speed or not .
September 2, 2009 @ 6:51 pm
Doesn’t work for me. I do not think Nissan will ever make a drop top version of this car. I hope they don’t. That’ll spoil the spirit of the car. Nice work anyway.
September 2, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
soft top is super bad looking…should hv consider the hard top like ones in the mercedez coupe,,,,,,any how the one with the roor is much more better actually…
September 3, 2009 @ 6:23 am
the soft top make it looks ugly.. maybe a hard top will be ok….
September 3, 2009 @ 6:40 pm
Wargh..Nissan should go wih hard top just like M3 2009 Convertible..More solid look…
