    I was going off of this quote from Automobile Magazine:

    "What we do know is that the GT-R will be Nissan’s modern equivalent of the mid-1980s Porsche 959: a staggeringly fast, all-wheel-drive, technology-laden flagship coupe into which Nissan engineers and designers have poured their souls. Sources report that the 2008 Skyline will be built on a unique all-wheel-drive platform and powered by a twin-turbo version of the 350Z’s 3.5-liter V-6, possibly bored out to 4.0 liters. The grapevine speaks of 450 hp allied to Nissan’s next-generation, variable-torque-split, ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system. We say, how about a 500-hp, twin-turbo version of the 4.5-liter Infiniti V-8, instead?"

    For $70k, it had better be in the 450-500 hp range to even raise an eyebrow in America.

    The skyline looks like a 350z+new-mustang+new-cadillac. If the report of RWD only is correct, then somebody at Nissan has lost a clue or two.

    The volta sounds cool, especially the 4 individual motors, lots of cool things you can do with independent drive like that, and it looks like a slightly modernized lambo diablo. Probably too good to ever make it here looking like that.
