Ekona Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 This car marks the one occasion where a ridiculously expensive car is released, and all I want someone to do is to buy it, never drive it and tuck it up in a garage never to be seen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the car in the flesh I can say that this is actually very pleasing on the eye. You can't appreciate it until you see it but there's lots of subtle lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what they are going for on the R36 but keeping the R35 DNA, i cant see them getting rid of the box shape completely. Look at the this R-50...I thought based on the vision 2020 they might opt for a more supercar look. Maybe they are testing the waters with the R50 and italdesign.

Ekona Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Oh god, I hope not So much fugly there. A stock GTR isn’t exactly pretty, that’s just rolling it in glitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure where you have got any of that, most of the speculation/talk is a smaller v6 with hybrid, design wise, well thats anyones guess.

Are they all gold or are there any pics in other colours? Currently this is the only one. I had a good chat with the electronics engineer on the day and they had only finished building it on the Weds. All the other imagery you've seen previously is CG. It's all CF so would expect a much lower kerb weight. No actual stats available on the car due to newness, but the engineer believed it was actually in excess of 600 lb ft torque and should easily be sub 2 seconds 0-62.

Jetpilot Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 ^^^ I would guess if they do produce the 50 and its a "special edition"" i doubt they would be doing colour to order imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly according to Alfonso Albaisa. But the Lead Engineer spoke at a meet and greet months back in manchester and said they didnt know if they would go with Hybrid because of the added weight. They are also more likely to keep the boxy shape according to that alfonso guy. But hey ho whatever they decide im sure there'll be a queue of people ready to buy... Seems like they are undecided and speculation is flip flopping between hybrid and similar engine. Even 8 speed auto has been mentioned I think they should go for a supercar shape. But i doubt they will change the box shape at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is odd, considering they said that the reason the original R35 was so competent is because of the extra weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
