I dunno about this.

For a start its now a v6 not the straight 6 from the previous versions. So, presumably the tuning scope will be different. Also Im really not sure about the looks. It kinda reminds me of a larger 350z. Not the old 2+2 coupe (ish)

Its the same car as the 350 Zed, with a few body work mods. Nissan will add twin turbos with "eletro asist" what ever that is. Cosworth are doing the Motor and dear old Lotus the handling suspension and steering.

With 400 BHP and 4-wheel drive it should be quite handy! Autocar did a story this week on it, but Autoexpress beat them to it and did a much better one a few weeks ago.

I think you'll find that the later pictures are quite different.

I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that those are the prototype pic's. The new ones doing the round have a different profile, front, and rear

Looks like more of the same. A big heavy GT car for the Autobahn. But not a car to fling about on b-roads. Plus, its 20 inch rims and 285 or thereabouts size tires will probably aquaplane and follow lines in the road.

If Nissan could make the same basic car, but weighing about 800Lbs less, maybe about 2800LBS, give it adequate wheel travel, 17 inch wheels with 225 profile tyres- it would be far more effective for most types of driving.
