Nissan gave the press a chance to get up close and personal with the GT-R Concept for some photos, ahead of its official debut at the Tokyo Motor Show. The company says the concept gives “a clear indication of the final design direction� for the new model. Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president of design, says this design is 80 to 90 percent of the final shape. The production GT-R, however, is still another two years away, scheduled for introduction at the next Tokyo show in 2007. Unlike previous GT-Rs, the new model will be available in North America. Given the expected price point north of $70,000, the 2008 Skyline is likely to be badged as an Infiniti and the name is not set in stone. Latest estimates move the power target north to 450 or even 500 hp.
