New Nissan on 10th June? Reveal on 16th

[Krizzay]

Judging from the profile, I'm guessing (hoping) a new R390

 

[DrPuppetwarrior]

It could be the new gtr lm. Im certain it will be a VGT though.

 

[sirjim73]

Well, looks like it fits the tarpaulin pic quite nicely. But what is this thing...?

 

[SCER]

We have a winner!

 

[MCNAGTROC]

its not the FRIEND-ME concept but the front grill does have the same design language

 

[John_Marsten]

I hope it is the Aussie Nissan V8 supercar.

 

[spencer7x7]

I doubt it's a Vision GT because on June 15th the VW is released, PD has never done 2 seasonals for VGTs at the same time.

Honestly, I think the people who rag on there being so many Nissans, specifically Skylines in GT over react quite a bit. Honestly, what that full image shows me is that there isn't really as much wasted space in the game on Skylines as people make out. Granted you could get rid of a good 10 or a few more cars on the Nissan list that are basically doubles or lesser versions that there's no sense in having, but looking at GT as a car/motorsports interactive museum, most of those cars have some kind of historical signifigance to Nissan either at the consumer level or in some kind of racing.

I see historical value in most of the Nissans on the GT5/6 roster. And with Nissan and PD being tied at the hip, a GT fan should expect there to be more Nissan history in the game (e.i.: more Nissans to drive) than any other manufacturer. However, IMO as a GT fan there is a FAR greater percentage of redundant Mazda Miatas and RX7s on the roster that have absolutely no historical value over other nearly identical versions of the same car that truly are wasted space in any sense.

That said, if Mazda designed a new Miata or RX7, I'd absolutely want them in the game ASAP. Same as I'd love to have a newly designed GT-R or any other car. GT in this DLC age is driving game GOLD with getting new cars and even Prototype debuts like they did with the Vette and M4. It's amazing stuff for car fans. It's just the redundancy I have a problem with. And there's not quite as much of it as alot of "fans" like to accuse PD of. I'd rather have 98% of the cars in GT6 than not.

Then what PD should be doing is building in trim/performance options for models where they apply. I.e. engine/turbo components, transmission, aero, and even that ridiculous limited edition paint. When selected, the description would change. Really, quite a lot of their car library shouldn't be listed as a separate cars - especially that limited edition paint model. There is LITERALLY no difference in performance or appearance otherwise.

I like the extensive library as well, but there are WAY too many over-duplicated Skylines/GT-Rs, MX-5/Miatas, RX-7s, and NSXs. That's the few heavily-offending models I can list off the top of my head, there are a LOT more.

As for the new mystery car - It being a VGT is uncertain to me, logically it would seem it would be, but the FT-1 also happened. There's a few things it could be - it could be a continuation of the R-class, it could be a completely-new super car (maybe a hybrid), or it could even a road-going version of an upcoming race car, sort of like the R390. In fact, maybe it's a combination of the last two - a new road-going super car that the new Le Mans prototype will base itself off of. In that case, it won't give away their tech necessarily, but it'll still be previewing the race car. The only thing I'd be willing to put money on is it being the car under the blue sheet.

Don't see why PD should be frowned upon because Nissan want that car in this game.
If only Porsche felt the same way.

The way I see it, Porsche is the princess trapped in the tower and EA's licensing department is the huge dragon sleeping just outside it.

 

[Normalaatsra]

Opening a new chapter? So I guess this, as game developers and publishers call it, an "IP". I assume it's a new marque in the Nissan sports line-up.

As a business matter, this sums it up very nicely.

Maybe the answer lies here...

And being fed by....

 

[C-ZETA]

A production iDX, please.
The tuning community would love that to bits. I mean, who doesn't want a new KPGC10?! (I'd actually prefer a KPGC110, but that's beside the point...)

*erhem* I quote:

The IDx NISMO®, is an ultra-sporty model of the future that looks as if it came directly from a driving simulator.

Far too easy. [/pinch of salt]

Vision GT: Nissan R36 Hybrid concept?

Maybe announced during Sony's E3 Conference next week???

Hmmm.

The ESFLOW looks the more likely addition from that list.

Maybe, but please read C-ZETA post above...

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Isn't that "R36" just an R35 with a bodykit?

 

[Nooboogering]

Maybe, but please read C-ZETA post above...

Yes. It is starting to become complex.

The R36 Hybrid concept looks the real deal as well.

 

[cbarbosa]

Yup... So many possibilities...

 

[MCNAGTROC]

no thats a photoshop and the R36 will not be shown until November of next year

 

[Samus]

Just like all similar car unveilings in the past the likelyhood of this car being something already seen is slim to none.

Unless it is that mystery silhouette car with GTR style lights from the GT6 trailer.

 

[omgsean1]

no thats a photoshop and the R36 will not be shown until November of next year

Or just render for tease about next R36 GTR look like?

 

[Samus]

No, it's clearly a shopped R35. Pretty sure Nissan themselves will go to more effort.

 

[Nooboogering]

Darren Cox was interviewed by Radio Le Mans during the recent Le Mans Test day and asked about Nissan plans for GT. He said that the GTR was too big and they where looking into something more in keeping with their supercar opposition.

This might be it.

Hopefully with similar dimensions as a 911.

 

[Nooboogering]

Mark my words, it's going to be the return of the Silvia!

In race specification?

 

[SCER]

I have to say, after having been on GTPlanet for a while I've come to realise that the blind speculation is half the fun of the update process

 

[GranTurismo guy]

That's totally unnecessary, try to control yourself please.

Well it's how people are acting. Not all of you though
@TokoTurismo thinks it is a supercar, he could be right........
