Default A couple of interesting cars!

While tootling up the M1 this morning between J25 and J28 saw two intersting cars.

The first was a Tommy Kaira M20b - turned off towards Sheffield - never seen one before, there can't be many about.

Second car intrigued me.

From the rear it looked a bit like a Nissan 350Z - but the badge was "S K Y L I N E" with a GT moniker below it.

The from looked more Lexus like than the 350z, a bit like that Lexus coupe that looks like a boat.

Anyone know what this car is. It looked like the concept photos of the new Skyline but I thought that wasn't even in the metal until next year? Or is that only the GTR?

Answers on a postcard please

Its completely different to the current Skyline - it's going to need to go to the gym to get to be a GTR

Its the Skyline GT based on the 350Z, basically the same car as the 350z but with 4 seats.

From memory I think there a 3.5litre V6 with about 280bhp.
