I'll make sure I don't miss it. Probably take a few pics to show you guys. 👍

 

[Dave A]

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

That would be VERY GOOD! 👍

 

[niky]

Looks like its going to be interesting....

Styling's funky, but if there's one car that deserves to look like Darth Vader, this is it. I hope they keep it that way.

 

[Z32]

kinda iffy about the a pillar and the sloping window graphic down the c pillar, too "french" (damn renault)

the foria shows the styling theme better. reading the lil excerpt for the foria, kinda reminds me of what the role of silvia did. but the foria has 4 doors much like the rx-8. could we expect to see a revival of entry level fr sports in the nissan lineup soon? guess we'll find out oct 19

Official pic of GT-R Proto - at Midfield!

 

[NSX-R]

Is that really Midfield?

 

[Cap'n Jack]

It looks a hell of alot like it. But its not a real track, Midfield I mean.

 

[James2097]

Made me quiz myself if Midfield was real (even maybe called something else)... haha nearly fooled me. It really looks like it!

I'll make sure I don't miss it. Probably take a few pics to show you guys.

This would be very much appreciated. Many of us would love to be able to go to the Tokyo Motor Show! Have a great day there!

I like the GTR Concept in GT4 better

Only without Midfield raceway. Thats not Midfield.

 

[F1GTR]

We know...

 

[Young_Warrior]

Looks like the concept we have all driven in GT concept. the light bonnets and roofline kind remind me of a tvr.

Bit of a dissapointment to be honest.

 

[NSX-R]

I know! That's why I asked!

 

[pinakaguwaping]

Is that really Midfield?

It's probably the entry into turn 1 of the F1 circuit at Nurburgring (since Nissan has a development plant just for the GTR there.).

Isn't that Tsukuba?

 

[rollazn]

Looks like the Tsukuba Circuit to me - but that doesn't really matter.

Does anyone have a ton of pictures of other cars beside the GTR prototype?

EDIT: Glad i'm not the only one that think it looks like Tsukuba.

 

[niky]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[pinakaguwaping]

No, it's not Tsukuba, the grand stands are wrong (Tsukuba's have a roof and a skybox in the middle, it's not the 'Ring either), but it could be Okayama International Circuit ( I believe Nissan does own it) and the pic matches the start/finish straight at Okayama.

Cool video of the GTR Proto, but thanks to niky, all I could think about was Darth Vader. Looks OK, kinda reminded me of Isuzu Vehicross.....

It's a better title than Godzilla. Wish they'd fix the roof, though.

 

[Jay]

Nice to see they included the R32 Skyline GTR in the video.

 

[Green Gloves]

I went there the third week of show on a public holiday. Too crowded too little room too bad I have only a cell phone camera. But I did promise some pics. Please excuse the quality.

 

[McLaren'sAngel]

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

You tried your best and that is all it matters to me Green Gloves! 👍

Did you have alot of fun while you were at the show?

I got to say that I am starting to hate the roof line of the GTR, they need to round it off like the 350Z in my opinion.

Another thing, white Lambos? I thought Lambos never come in white.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, thank you, Green Gloves! Great pics. 👍 I must say. Crowd is one thing I don't miss about Japan.

That white roadster, the banner says "Mitsuoka". What kind of car is that? Is Mitsuoka the name of the car?

P.S. If you can post more pictures of lovely ladies leaning onto cars, I'd appreciate it. j/k

 

[Dave A]

It's the Mitsuoka Orochi Nude roadster or something like that, they made a coupe called the Mitsuoka Orochi a few years ago, basically this is the roadster version of it.

I had fun but I think going there the last week spoiled it for me since there were no suprises. Seeing the GT-R Proto in person for example proves not to be all that special. I wish they had more cars.

There are a lot of people in Japan, considering the physical size of the country. Too bad I didn't take many pics of the booth babes. They dress in less and less clothes these days. My cell phone camera doesn't do that well under conditions like that of the motor show, so I only snapped a few.

You're right. OROCHI Nude-Top-Roadstar. This is the manufacturer's page:

I bet you're just saving the best pictures for yourself.......

I remember the Orochi coupe. It was featured in the Capcom's mediocre-yet-stylish Auto Modellista.

Freaky-looking car...and now they made a "nude" version of it...
