Infiniti’s 4Door-Coupe Version of the Nissan GT-R | Carscoop

Quote:

In its latest issue, Japan’s Car Top magazine features a scoop story on a new 4door-coupe model from Infiniti based on the Nissan GT-R. Citing inside sources, the Japanese magazine states that Infiniti’s four-door version of the Nissan sportscar would use a stretched version of the GT-R’s platform. Power would come from the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 while the Infiniti would also maintain the GT-R’s highly advanced AWD system and six-speed dual-clutch automated manual gearbox.

While we have no inside information whatsoever to support this story, we must admit that a 4door-coupe version of the Nissan GT-R from Infiniti sound like a pretty good idea as it could serve as the ultimate halo model for the Japanese marque in its quest to win buyers from other (European) luxury brands.

craziiieee , wont that mean this thing will cost a shitload??

nice find. overall, looks sharp. still looks to be mere concept thou..
those headlight a pretty crazy

!Zar! · 07-29-2008, 01:26 AM

Car looks like shit.

All it looks like to me is a gt-r with an extra pair of doors.

Need to proportion everything.

Fallbrook240 · 07-29-2008, 01:28 AM

thought i read something about this like a month or two ago in a respectable auto magazine.. ie.. motor trend, car and driver, road and track.. not sure which i get so many.

seems like a good idea

braingone · 07-29-2008, 02:30 AM

That's one big lip in the back, not sure if I like it or not. it's pretty bold though.

stiizy · 07-29-2008, 07:35 AM

i've always loved 4 door skylines,

Like Monkey's Blitz Skyline has to be one of my fave's

VIPDRFT · 07-29-2008, 07:40 AM

I am happy as long as we keep getting more RWD 4-door cars. Come on toyota!!! Share the love!!!

allntrlundrgrnd · 07-29-2008, 07:47 AM

that would be pretty sick.

pics for the lazies

stiizy · 07-29-2008, 07:49 AM

look how big those front calipers are!!

98s14inaz · 07-29-2008, 08:10 AM

Cool. By the looks of that thing they are going after the BMW 7 series crowd and beyond.

*exitspeed* · 07-29-2008, 08:18 AM

I had hopes that this was going to happen, but too many responses from Nissan say that it isn't happening.

They have said numerous times that the new Q will be their flagship.

There is plenty of room in Infiniti's line-up for it though.

blueshark123 · 07-29-2008, 08:25 AM

idk about u guys but i like it

TheWolf · 07-29-2008, 08:28 AM

Lazy Photoshop peoples

*exitspeed* · 07-29-2008, 08:35 AM

Yes, people please don't confuse this with anything actually from Nissan/Infiniti. The pics you see above are only renderings done by a Japanese magazine.

TheWolf · 07-29-2008, 08:43 AM

sounds like all they have from their inside info is a guess that there will be a 4 door GTR.. then had their art department steal some material, make some chops and sell some magazines..

it's called hype... don't get caught up in it...

I'm awfully cranky today... just had to pay the tax man... this post was not endorsed by myself

*exitspeed* · 07-29-2008, 08:57 AM

Yea, there was speculation about this car like....6 months or more ago. The Nissan came out bluntly said it's not going to happen. Who knows though.

stiizy · 07-29-2008, 09:27 AM

awh i would rock a four door in a heartbeat

Okinawandrifter87 · 07-29-2008, 09:35 AM

I like it!! Its just too bad that they're already saying no so far to it.

adrians_s13 · 07-29-2008, 09:41 AM

eh... I actually think its looks decent!

although, the rear end does look a lot like the CLS-class benz... awesome!

mRclARK1 · 07-29-2008, 09:48 AM

Meh. If they made it it would probably be decent... doesn't look bad.

Sounds like it's not happening though.

***Future240*** · 07-29-2008, 11:33 AM

Hmmm the mating of the GTR's sport, with infinit's luxrury, with the right stlying def sounds like win to me, too bad Nissan said no,

Dutchmalmiss · 07-29-2008, 12:37 PM

If this DID go through with Nissan, I'd say it would be a direct competitor to the current Mercedes CLS.
