After the GT-R Concept unveiled at the 35th Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, Nissan presents the GT-R PROTO, a vision of the next production model that will be on sale in 2007.

Exterior design

The design of the GT-R PROTO expresses GT-R heritage, coming from the first model PGC10 (1969) through R34 (1999), in a new and expressive form.

From its original roots as a pure-bred Japanese performance car, the new GT-R will now be a car sold globally, recognising its ability to compete with the very best in the world. For the first time in its history, the new GT-R will be designed as a specific body-style, and not derived from a sedan.

The form of the GT-R PROTO instantly expresses its purpose and potential, but in a way that is unique to this iconic car.

At the front end, the single centre air intake is designed to optimise airflow and to strongly link the identity of the GT-R from R34 to GT-R Concept (2001). Front fenders are uniquely designed through intensive analysis of the airflow around the tyres and the air vent behind the front fender also optimises aerodynamics. The sides of the body are sculptured towards the rear fender, expressing the power and dynamic tension of the car.

Nissan GT-R Proto Concept

The overall shape of the body combines solid and smooth surfaces. The unique C-pillar crease is designed for optimum aerodynamics, reflecting the racing DNA of the GT-R.

The rear of the GT-R PROTO is strong and defined. The signature four ring-shaped tail lamps provide an immediate visual link to previous GT-R models. Four large-bore exhaust pipes complete the purposeful look.

The GT-R PROTO provides for the first time a clear indication of the final design direction for the production model to be launched in 2007, the first all-new GT-R in eight years.

Id say 3.5 litre V6 Twin Turbo Variant of the 350 Z or a Small Capacity fully high strung Tuned V8.

Looks cool, now we just need someone to photchop it so that that roof is higher, the windscreen less laid back, the wheels smaller diameter.....

And we might then have an idea of what it will look like, those artistic concept drawing never look like the real deal... :bash:

Looks good. Man I can't wait for this car to be realised. I hope it's not going to be a V6, I wish it were to be a straight six, but I would prefer a V8 over a V6.

Yeah i hope it will be a straight six too. Nice modern revised Rb26dett. Maybe better emissions. Higherpower Output and bigger capacity Twin Turbo. They can call it the RB32VETT. How sweet would that be.

Cant see it being a V8, twin turbo V6 would be alright...Just leaves me wanting the mental Nismo version though.

Yeah I agree, but I can't see 'em doing it. :(

I'm pretty sure Nissan still stand by their no V8s decision, hence why they're looking at a v10 for the NSX. Or I have no idea?..

I know, that's what is the most annoying. It goes from 'way cool' concept, to 'pretty darn nice' reality.

Besides, the ground clearance won't give you any favours on speed humps and the wheel arches curve around and below the wheel radius not allowing for much movement in the suspension. Rear/side mirrors etc.

Oh man, just make it like that and let the buyer worry about useability. :D

Honda dont have V8's, they made the NSX. Nissan have V8's (Infiniti Q45? and I think some US pickups).

the back of that looks very how can i put this Ferrari 360ish to me. The kink in the back of the boot looks like the Honda Integra.

With a few cosmetic tweaks it can look like the pic I posted previously (which I like)...

Not bad at all. Looking at the second pic, think the bonnet could do with being a lot more aggressive. :)

Not entirely keen on the front, but the rest is nice. A little too Supra-ish though.

I think its more 350Z inspired... which makes sense.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Somehow I'll convince the missus to trade her Spyder for one of these when it comes out
