Not a lot of room for big turbo's there!

Grex · 16th October 2007, 06:14 PM

sorry, but I just hate it

snake_gtr · 16th October 2007, 06:19 PM

is the front really looks like that?
oo..man.. looks like Hyundai SantaFe

seriously..is this the official pics?

bomberGTR · 16th October 2007, 06:21 PM

the front of that looks ****, oh dear what have they done with the grill. love the rear end, not sure what to say really

MuXBoX · 16th October 2007, 06:32 PM

I cannot beleive nissan have allowed the front to look like that. It doesn't flow with the rest of the car design and makes the car look like a fish.

I think they have purposfully let these shots out to throw us off course. Also the back doesn't look great either.

In fact i am willing to put money that those front and back bumpers are fakes that nissan quickly put on to throw us all off track, either that or i am putting my deposit money away and saving up to buy an R8 v10

I sure hope so mate..

But I'm affraid they didn't

give it a few weeks after the official release, and if that is infact the real front end, im sure more than one after market company will have something a little more fitting to this cars lines. either way, im more interested in how it goes, than how its shows.

snake_gtr · 16th October 2007, 06:41 PM

NO!!!!!

fled · 16th October 2007, 06:46 PM

Isn't an aftermarket front bumper the easiest thing to buy + install?

Don't you think it's sad that this is true?
I mean come on Nissan! After so many years of developing this car!

U beat me to it.

alex2005 · 16th October 2007, 06:57 PM

looks like shit under the bonnet!! all plastic!

what happend to nice cast alloy?

MuXBoX · 16th October 2007, 07:12 PM

If that is the front end they will get so many cancelled orders that they will be forced to do something a bit more special. Remember, there are a lot of us buyers that are hoping nissan will produce a car that rivals german manufacturers.

I for one have friends with prestigous german cars such as New M3, R8, 911, LP 640 and I am under a lot of 'pier' pressure to come up with the japanese alternative that can at least compare in the looks, luxury and performance departments. And yes, now that the 276bhp gentlemens agreement has been lifted in Japan i have very high hopes for them to produce cars to rival the worlds best.

I know nissan won't fail me being a die hard GTR fan since the R34. It has been a nice feeling knowing that my 430bhp car is very quick and up there with supercars with the potential to be even quicker They are being very clever with their marketing and would not have allowed those shots to go out if they didnt want them out.

Either that or i will have egg on my face as i cannot buy the car if it looks like that. I would have to get aftermarket bumpers and what is the point in buying a new car to wreck it with aftermarket parts straight away. At least wait for the warranty to run out.

No, i stick to my guns and say that those shots are fake. The colours of the front and back bumpers are too light for the shots. And adding some nice REAL shots of the interior and engine just adds authenticity to those two 'fake' exterior shots.

Don't beleive the magazines.. They get it wrong all too often just like auto express when they stated that that they had caught it testing on the ring and getting a 7:15 which would make it a cool 17 seconds faster than the official fastest production car held by the Carrera GT at 7:32. Yeah right. I know GTR's are good but not 7:15 for 55k with all the comforts good.

I've rambled on enough. As you can tell. I am pissed off.

Nissan 'Fish Face' GTR ... doh

[j]Desing · 16th October 2007, 07:36 PM

So I wonder is Motor Trend will get in trouble for releasing the picture of the GTR?
