Predictions I'm not understanding in this thread:
- The 2015 LMP1 car - As many have stated, Nissan has made it very clear that the car will be under wraps for quite some time. I can't recall a past LMP being revealed so early before it's debut, and really, the car under the sheet doesn't look all that LMP-ish to me.
- Cars that look very different from the sheet - Nissan only recently put this covered car up... Why exactly would they tease a car, namely it's shape, and then change it all of a sudden...?
- Cars that were already unveiled - The announcement states "Each car — from the Skyline Sport Coupe and Fairlady Z, to the GT-R NISMO GT3 — represents a chapter of Nissan’s story. On June 10th we open the next chapter.” Why, exactly, would a "new chapter" be something that's already been announced, or even fully unveiled...? I think this may also put an R36 put of the question...
The fact that it lists separate models or families as "chapters" tells me that it's going to be a completely new model/family, and the fact that they're making a big deal of it, and putting it in a racing game tells me it's going to be something performance-oriented. As I said before, it's probably not a new GT-R, hence "new chapter for Nissan", and plus, the shape looks a bit too sleek to be an evolution of the Skyline/GT-R family.
I strongly believe, and would be willing to put money on this being a completely new model. The only thing I'm not 100% on is if it's a VGT or FT-1-esque concept. Considering the timeframe and potential launch window, I lean a bit more to the VGT side, but it could still be either or in my eyes.
Only a few hours to find out.
