Interesting that it's based off a G35 with R35 bits added on, as opposed to just using an R35 as a start point.

That thing is amazing. It adds a bit of needed flare to the GTR . I hope Nissan picks this idea up

Looks HOT!

I saw a GTR yesterday at Claremont after our cricket game and, although it is "simple" but still looked and sounded pretty beefy. I like the car but cant think of dropping $80K on it especially considering the other cars in that range such as BMW's, Audi's and AMG's.

Looks great, unfortunately a production GT-R roadster if made probably wouldn't look that good.

So would it weigh 5000lbs?

I don't think fat people should be allowed at McDonald's.

The rear end looks weird because of no Nissan badge. Get rid of the GT-R badge on the back and put a Nissan badge between the tail lights.

Road hugging weight and maybe fat people should be taxed at McDonalds.

can you imagine if Nissan did a convertible version??? I think this thing would be able to sell against the audi R8, and even the 911 turbo convertible. The GTR is awesome, but this just pushed it over the edge. I am in love. I have a new screen saver

Looks a lot nicer than the coupe from this angle
