0-60 in 3.5 and the 1/4 mile in under twelve seconds is pretty good

Didnt know they still have the same block and bore as the old one

[MaLicE]

and before i start that rant... here is my first its NOT A f**king SKYLINE!

the engine is SIMILAR to the 350z and the g35 skyline vq engine it has the same bore ....

ITS NOT THE SAME AS A R32/33/34 GTR SKYLINE!!!! they are striaght 6's this is a v6 good god man!!!

 

[Ian_182]

OOOOOHHHH saucer of milk for malice

Its still a nice bloody car

 

[Rob_]

Yeah think you need a chill pill malice lol

It may not have "skyline" on the back but it is basically a skyline! they've just decided to ditch the name in favour of GT-R

 

[McBunny]

and its an r35 so its still technically a skyline even though they now use that name on athe G35

 

[geordieracer]

I agree with the "It's not a Skyline" statement. They arent calling it a skyline, they are calling it a GT-R, so it ISN'T a Skyline, IT IS a GT-R.

Ford stopped making the Escort, its replacement was the Focus, but nobody goes round calling them the Escort do they?

 

[Rob_]

What was the best R34 skyline called

The GT-R

 

[geordieracer]

I thought it was actually called the Skyline GT-R, this one is just called the GT-R, i think Nissan know what its called, and nowhere is it called a Skyline.

Funny how on the nissan site its shown next to a timeline of skylines

It also said on the news section

The 2009 Nissan GT-R, formerly known as Skyline, will debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show

Everyone knows its a bloody skyline whether its got a badge on the back or not lol

 

[Shotgunsjay]

oooooooo thats gorgeous.......

 

[McBunny]

we know its not oficially a skyline but everyone will always know it as a skyline the r-- clasification has been used with teh skyline name since teh r30 in 1981 so its gonna be hard to undo 27 years of people knowing it as that isnt it

the moniker gt-r has been around since 1969 though used on the C10 skyline

but the skyline name has been in use since 1957 !!

Note the formally. We are not disputing its not derived from the Skyline, or indeed an evolution of the Skyline. It's just not called a skyline.
