Official: Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo revealed, hints future R36 GT-R



Quote:
Should be fully revealed on June 16th

Nissan has released a new picture of their Vision Gran Turismo concept.
The company didn't have much to say about the model but it looks like a futuristic GT-R. Starting up front, we can see a V-motion front fascia that is flanked by slender headlights and large air intakes. Moving further back, there's curvaceous bodywork and a double bubble roof which flows into the rear end. Other notable highlights include aggressive side skirts and five-spoke alloy wheels.
Additional information will be released on June 16th, so stay tuned for full details.

Whatever they do, they better not get rid of the iconic tail lights. I'm tired of all their cars turning into ugly face lifts of the 350/370 chassis.

you're crazy. the '15 NISMO Z looks awesome. A friend and I got to shoot it, along with the Nismo GTR, the day they showed it to the world.

Here's one of my shots from the shoot.

Hard to tell much from a shot like that, but the beltline looks very high, making the car look heavy. Almost like a caricature of the R35.

Everybody has their own taste. It's just not for me.

Nissan Gran Turismo Vision Concept Teased, Likely Hints At R36 GT-R



Quote:
Nissan has given us our first look at a new vehicle destined to join the pantheon of 148 different Nissans that have appeared in the Gran Turismo video game series over the years. The popular racing sim turned 15 last year and to celebrate the anniversary its creator Kazunori Yamauchi asked design studios from all across the globe to come up with a concept using the theme “Vision Gran Turismo”.

This new concept is yet to be formally announced by Nissan—the image above was posted to the automaker’s Twitter feed along with the promise to release more information on June 16—but it's almost certain to be Nissan’s own Vision Gran Turismo concept. Rival concepts have already been shown by the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Volkswagen.

Few automakers are linked as intimately with the Gran Turismo franchise as Nissan, and no car more so than the GT-R—years before the GT-R came to the U.S., players became acquainted with it through the game, producing a ready-made fan base when the car finally arrived in Stateside showrooms in 2008—so it’s entirely possible that Nissan will use the video game to give us our first inkling of a new GT-R, in this case the R36 model tipped to be introduced for the 2016 model year.

The concept above looks very much like a GT-R, and it features all the latest Nissan styling cues. Could it be a preview of the R36 GT-R? Remember to tune in on the 16th for more information from Nissan.

This Is Nissan's Gran Turismo Vision Concept, And Maybe The Next GT-R



Quote:
Everyone has been wondering what Nissan is hiding under that red sheet. Is it a Gran Turismo Vision Concept? Is it the next GT-R? From what we hear, it might be both.

On Twitter today, Nissan released the first teaser image of the mystery car they're set to unveil on Monday. It's very dark, but through the magic of Photoshop we were able to shed some light on it. It looks like what happens when a GT-R hooks up with a Ferrari Enzo, and I'm fine with that.

The big will be what it is, exactly. While we're pretty certain it will be a digital car for Gran Turismo 6 like Volkswagen's recently-unveiled GTI Roadster, we also hear it heavily previews the looks of the next GT-R.

Next Monday should be very interesting indeed. Who's down with this design for the next generation of Godzilla?
