And a lightened version, for added detail:

This pic was taken at an undisclosed location in the US by our "Photo Ninja".

Additional photos were not possible due to intervention by a Porsche 911 "chase car" - Both cars sped away on sight of the camera.

As best as we can tell, this appears to be a GTR test mule, as evidenced by the unfinished appearance of the rear exhaust outlets as well as the unfinished appearance of the rear bumper.

The "donor" car (at least from the decklid and spoiler) appears to be a pre-2006 model.

The body creases below the taillights carry on across and along the sides of the car.

There appears to be a rear underbody diffuser of some sort.

The tailpipes appear to be fully functional, approximately 2.5" in diameter each, which hints at a forced-induction powerplant.

Front and rear track width are significantly widened, obviously to accomodate GTR underpinnings, but also further confirming possible styling cues for the next-generation G.

Feel free to link to this thread elsewhere - Stay tuned for more info as it comes available.

Just remember where you saw it FIRST.

Note the rough metal "diffuser" tray that goes from left to right below the exhaust tips.

Reminiscent of the valence on the 2nd gen NSX.

I'm not too keen on the rear end however it is a totally unfinished car so I'm assuming that it will only get better looking as it gets closer to production.

Good score.

OMG EDITED FOR CONTENT.!!

You're not looking at a "concept car" or a "redesign" here...

Can't wait to see them on the roads.

I love it.

They pretty much just took the G35 trunk and lights and pasted them onto the new GTR body. Look at how badly the lights fit to the body...

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

yep i see them all the time. saw a mazda or a toyota (it was night, couldnt clearly see the badge on the back) about a month ago cruising a highway around here. he would drive up a couple miles, turn around and do it all over again. they are usually completely covered in canvas with mesh over the lights so you cant really see the lines. i guess since they were using a g35 they really didnt need to hide much. it looks a lot wider than the current g35. im excited

Then again, who knows?

but whoever saw the sides and front of the car knows for sure.

maybe it really is a test car

highly possible that it is a mock up, but from the unfinished look of
the G35 parts bolted onto there and the smooth, finished, painted, and
completely lined up look of the rear fenders and their integration into the
pillars... I don't know, I think its all speculation until we have some info
which is more conclusive than a spy photo of some hot girls a$s

ALL manufacturer plates are Michigan plates.

good to know they are getting close to a release having a test vehicle in public with no crazy cladding or cover-ups.

im not sure what kind of trees those are but they look like palm trees. i dont think they would be able to survive around here, but i could be wrong. for the record, i have lived here for 18 years and i have never seen a palm tree around here that wasnt kept inside.

That's because ALL Manufacturer plates that are owned by Nissan are MI. And that is true with nearly every car manufacturer. That is because almost every manufacturer's technical design center's are in michigan.

My dad used to work for Nissan Corporate, and every car he ever "borrowed" from work had FL "registration only" tags. Even when we lived in GA and SC. That's because Nissan Southeast regional headquarters are in FL. Large companies can register entire fleets of cars all in one state, regardless of where in the country the car ends up for testing/training/etc.

oh, i didnt know that. makes a hell of a lot of sense though. thanks for clearing that up for me.

Possible. I'd say it's 50/50 on whether it's the concept G or the GTR. But if it's the concept G, the drivetrain should be relatively similar to the current G. Unless they are testing the forcasted V8 G35 Coupe. We'll have to let time go by before we find out the truth.

He was probly just toddleing around on lunch or something, lol... U know Joe, when I still lived in Avondale, I saw a number of test cars, a lot of cars/trucks/suvs wearing the black fabric camo to hide the body design, it was pretty neat!

Yes, because it is the Manufacturer who owns the car They have exclusive rights to drive any vehicle on the road for testing. That is how cars become thoroughly tested before they ever go into production.
