thanks for all your comments,

I hope someday I will be able to design whole cars in reality

Durzel · 10th November 2005, 06:32 PM

To echo what others have said - awesome artistic skills

Couple of practical points:

1) With an open vent that big in the bonnet water ingress would be a serious concern (unless the engine/electronics were somehow sealed). I would personally prefer a variant of the Nismo vented bonnet - using the same base vent size.

2) Practically all new cars today seem to have projector headlights. It's too hard to see whether or not your design has them, but it would be nice if they did.

Other than that, my only criticism is that it does perhaps look too much like an R34. The R34, as nice as it is, does not hold up well against the latest generation car designs that are around (I'm thinking particularly of some of BMWs latest creations - love 'em or hate 'em, they are revolutionary).

I love the subtle changes to front wings, that vent/indent is perfection

Indicators on the wing mirrors instead of the wings - classy

Again, that's pretty much the norm for new cars nowadays so its nice to see it on this.

I also love the amber lights (indicators?) in the bumper.

Overall it's a work of art.. top job!

Nice!

Is the front bumper & wing suppose to be one piece?

ChristianR · 10th November 2005, 06:41 PM

fantastic

Superb work!!!!
If they had shown that in Tokyo I would have put a deposit down last week!

andreasgtr · 11th November 2005, 07:03 AM

fantastic job! you should start earning money with your skills.
I think those front bumper lights would look very good on the "real" bumpers too, maybe some aftermarket supplier would be interested in that?
I mean every Golf or astra is driving around with "lexus" style rear lights and bmw "angel eyes" so there´s potential in lighting accessories. Especially when it looks as aesthetically like that.

Fantastic work there mate it's probably the proto everyone was hoping for

How about some pictures of your idea for the rear of your proto??

I'd love to see how that would turn out

IMZO · 12th November 2005, 06:48 PM

Absolutly brilliant.

selava · 13th November 2005, 09:54 PM

You are very talented no doubt

But as Durzel said it looks to much like the r34

Perhaps you should take the proto version and change a bit

vader · 20th November 2005, 11:16 PM

now that is skill

tschreibung · 21st November 2005, 09:04 PM

That picture is amazing! I just looked up how much that program costs and came back to the computer to type this after I changed my shorts. It takes more than just a computer program to do that, so pat yourself on the back for it.

Andy106 · 21st November 2005, 10:10 PM

nissan should employ you - i think thats nicer than the actual one!

NICE!

I hate to disagree, I think the 34 similarities make it top notch...although Nissan would never go for it. Pretty big snout on her...I'm thinking at least 450hp to the ground to push that bad boy near the 300KPH club...

I felt like I had to register just to leave feedback on this. Bloody stunning! Nissan promised that we won't be disapointed in da next GTR, but frankly proto isn't much different from the first GTR concept. It doesn't look athletic at all. If the next GTR would look like this, than all the current fans would support it, but I don't think we are quite the market for nissan. They target the biggest market - States and not quite car enthusiasts I'm afraid but rich show-offs that have no sense of taste. The proto concept is has an utterly tasteless design! Hope I'm wrong though, and they haven't forgotten about people who are real car enthusiasts. Can we make a petition or something? Tell to them - "we don't want a revolution - so that theres nothing left of what we loved. Give us a good evolution!!! The design that iacoski made is an evolution of what 34 was.

The only thing though is that GTR is supposed to be a 4-seater, whereas this obviously looks like a 2 seater. This looks like a roadster - with long bonnet, compared to the rear.

I also can't wait to see your vision of the rear, iacoski!

I've just seen this, (don't know who I missed it until know!!), what can I say. Your photoshop skills are fanbl**dytastic mate.

You need to do this full time.

Have to say though, whilst I like it very much, it is too much like the R34. In fact, someone should be able to customise an R34 to look exactly like this.......anyone?

Well done, keep this up and you should do VERY well mate.
