OMG, those tips! That's just so wrong. Nice find, man.

Let's hope the production Q60 passes on integrated tips, too.

THe G37 concept looks pretty much dead on to what we ended up with.

And the G35...

Can't seem to find any concept shots. Everything I find is the 37 concept

I think that's because when the sedan made the change it retained the 3.5 engine and the G35 badge. It was expected the coupe would do the same, so when you try to find the G35 concept vehicle you're gonna find the actual G37. The pictures of the G37 concept were initially considered to be the "new" G35 coupe concept at first.

I've seen those G37 concept pics many times before, but never noticed the nonexistent rearview mirrors. It actually looks missing on the passenger side pic.

Hopefully it doesn't have that cross-stitch leather though. Looks like coffin liner!

The outside mirrors for the G37 concept were actually small cameras. The idea was that they would display on a screen in the interior. This was part of the concept technology and obviously not included in production.

Uhm they have been quoted saying this concept is "Very very very close to production"

Use common sense. Sure the flush wheels and lowered stance will not make it. Why? Because it has to be able to go over speed bumps without scraping.

The glass roof wont make it either, because it actually has to handle and not weigh 4500lbs.

They narrow side view mirrors wont make it, why? Because we actually have to see behind us.

So yes, I believe it WILL look like this...just 5% toned down.

Just relax and enjoy the amazing design. Japan's sexiest coupe.

That's immensely weak. They used photoshop to change the color, slapped on the current G37 mirrors and door handles, and the Q50 headlights and front fascia. There's no way the huge complex design wheels and low profile tires, zero gap lowered stance (GOTTA have enormous Nissan wheel gap ), or exaggerated C pillar kink will make production. They look like they rushed to put this rendering out.

However I have to say that depending on the drivetrain and improvements in fit and finish, I might be intrigued enough to at least consider it to replace Black Betty rather than jumping ship to the ATS-V or a couple of other potential options. C'mom factory forced induction and dual clutch gearbox!

Please God don't mention anything about a Skyline. You know who is going to barge in here and start spewing nonstop mental diarrhea about why it is or isn't a Skykine/GTR/GT/WTF.
