Nissan has published artists renderings of the much-anticipated 2007 GT-R. The company emphasized that the new GT-R was designed as an original body style, not derived from a sedan. The design attempts to tape the GT-R heritage — from the first model PGC10 (1969) through R34 (1999) — in a “new and expressive form.” At the front end, the single centre air intake is designed to optimize airflow and to link the identity of the GT-R from R34 to GT-R Concept. Front fenders are a result of analysis of the airflow around the tyres and the air vent behind the front fender. The sides of the body are sculptured towards the rear fender, “expressing the power and dynamic tension of the car.”
“The rear of the GT-R PROTO is strong and defined. The signature four ring-shaped tail lamps provide an immediate visual link to previous GT-R models. Four large-bore exhaust pipes complete the purposeful look.”
