And here's the widebody GT-R:

More pictures were not possible due to the intervention of some 911 chase cars once the camera was was sighted, the cars sped off with the 911 giving some room to the alleged GTR test mule.

Looks pretty freakin sweet to me! Notice the quad 2.5" pipes (forced induction hint?) and what appears to be a rear diffuser.

its a g35 with a prototype widebody kit.. the mule has already been shown as a black nissan 350gt with extensive bodycladding. mostly only to test proportions and speed stability.
and besides the skyline for 07-08 was shown at the detroit motorshow in late 05
iono, just thought id link it. seems kinda realistic though. i mean cmon, people in america will not pay $70K for a Nissan, im pretty sure theyd for over the money for an infiniti though. just my .02.

might be possible they are testing the motor, but i doubt it. its prolly a reg vq35 with a greddy kit or something
yeah it more than likely will be an infinity, but they have already unveiled the bodystyle.. have you not seen it?

it looks like a test car to test out some of the features. we saw something that is supposed to look LIKE the new GTR, however I think the real version will be a bit "dumbed down" from the gtr proto.
needless to say im quite excited to see what they come up with.
might be possible they are testing the motor, but i doubt it. its prolly a reg vq35 with a greddy kit or something
Its gonna be a whole new motor.
Also, there were/are 2 of them in AZ. :)

Well, the 911 is the target of the GT-R after all...
If you guys can remember, this spy photo shows a G35 Coupe nearly identical to the silver test mule shown running around the Nurburgring Nordschleife last year. Who knows, it may even be the same car.
