The car is indeed a placeholder, many sources said that it was a Ligier LMP2 chassis. Only a few fortunate ones (including Mr. @R1600Turbo of course) have seen the car's true form, we still have to wait to see what it truly looks like.

I remember reading an article waaay back when the R35 was about to hit the streets - its chief stylist was quoted as saying he designed the side windows in such a shape so when Nissan builds a silhouette race car, it can still be recognizable as a GT-R simply by taking a gander at the side window shape. This probably still holds true with the upcoming LMP1 - even if it might be long and swoopy, it'll still be recognizable as a GT-R...

Those bubble cockpits scare me. Must be some suppressed childhood memory. Like clowns and deep water.

Regardless... this will be one of the most important additions to GT in history.
I see you are in Arizona... Nissan usually tests at Firebird right? Is that were you saw it?

I want the Ligier LMP2 regardless. GT is LMP2 starved.

No, the car under the cover is definitely not it. Pointy nose gives it away.Or the car under the cover is the car but Turbo is saying to ignore it to divert your attention away from it. Reverse psychology and all that...
The mystery deepens....

I actually did try and draw this car when the first rumors of a front-engined design surfaced. Figure I will share these here.

I wonder what's the new "interesting" thing they are doing with the "powertrain" that will be "transferred into the new GTR" ?
Powertrain includes the engine, transmission, drive shafts, differentials, and the final drive (drive wheels). But sometimes "powertrain" is used to refer to simply the engine and transmission, including the other components only if they are integral to the transmission.
So any thoughts about what could that be ?
Two engines front and back ? ... With each powering the wheels under it (like the Jeep 'Hurricane Concept 2005') ?
Or an electric engine for the front when needed, including the KERS. But the KERS would go to all wheels ?
