Skyline The Limit

[scathing]

Godzilla is coming.

The car that conquered Bathurst, and with it, the best that Ford and Holden could muster, is set to make a return to Australia.

It probably won't be next year or even the year after, but Nissan has confirmed its commitment to building the next generation Skyline GT-R and it is headed our way.

Nissan remains tight-lipped about the specification of the new car, which is due to make its debut at Tokyo in 2007, suffice to say it will be a car without compromisep.

Insiders are tipping a power output of 350kW based on a twin turbo version of Nissan's brilliant 350Z engine.

Some have even suggested that it will be branded Infiniti and lead the return of the Nissan's prestige brand to our shores.
