The 2008 Nissan Skyline has broken cover in Germany. The car has just arrived for testing on the Nürburgring this week, and The Car Connection's spies have shot these near-production photos of the new supercar.

The production version due out as a 2008 model will likely feature a twin-turbo V-6 displacing somewhere between 3.5 and 3.8 liters. Look for something "in excess of 450 horsepower." Expect the car the reach Japanese showrooms soon after the '07 Tokyo Show, with a U.S. launch in early 2008.

What? No boat tail?

 

now that thing is bad ***. guess my wife will be getting a new car.

 

It would be nice if the Japanese would make their cars suitable for taller people, I see it has a similar roof line to the 350Z. Which is extremely uncomfortable sitting inside of.

My question for the autocross guys is, how do you sit inside a 350Z or the Skyline with a helmet on, it's ridiculously low inside??

I guess they only made these cars for short asians and little girls, both of which are the only two groups of people that I've actually seen driving the 350z.

The front end of the Skyline is kinda Fugly, still needs some improvement there, but that motor is a true animal, I look forward to the magazines comparison test with other supercars. I'm guessing the Viper will get it's clock cleaned pretty good! Isn't the price in the $100,000 area?
