Hopefully they make it look nicer than the styling disaster of the 70s. Actually it's not that bad, but those louvers on the side windows are really bad, remind me of my bud's 76 Nova

if you really look at it.. all it is is a viper stretched a little and some funky cladding up front to throw you off...

I remember the DT mule for the new Skyline was just a 350Z

....

its using mostly a viper body but stretch to accommodate the 106" wheelbase of the drivetrain

notice how the lower panels still have the cut outs for the viper exhaust while the real exhaust exits below the rear bumper.

The 6.2 Liter Natural Aspirated engine has to be tested in some form of mule and the viper was a worthy candidate

Wow they are going to super charge the 6.2. I bet hp is in the 700-800 range.

Supercharged?


I heard Twin Turbo from the "AMG" expert at my local dealer. He said that they were trying for 1000 horsepower in the MidEngined sports car that they have been working on.

Read the article. Its the same layout as the currant SLR. IE Big engine up front, cabin way out back.

It's Viper-clad now, but wait when official photos are released -- it'll be a stunner.
