Well, it had to happen sometime.

[ichibankilla]

According to the story posted over on the GTR OC UK forums, the driver of the Audi R8 following this Nissan loaned GT-R could not stop in time and ran into the back of it. This occured while shooting for an upcoming Top Gear Magazine issue on the Isle of Man.

Actually, Nissan dropped the Skyline designation, in all markets, with the R35, the R34 is the last GT-R with the Skyline name.
This is the only new Skyline you can buy(Infinity G37 coupe in the US)

Further info from Nissans GT-R website.(Second paragraph)

Doing actual research instead of going to Wiki for answers > DelSlow :p::icon_tongue::icon_geek::google:

If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose guess what. They may have dropped the name but it is the R-35 so Skyline is implied.

Argue all you want but i trust Nissan a little bit more than i trust you...

Everywhere in that entire wiki page refers to it as the GT-R. The only place it does not is when it is talking about previous models.

"Because of the GT-R's heritage, the chassis code for the all-new version has been called CBA-R35,[7] or 'R35' for short, carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GT-R generations"

Yawn.

Yawn.

notice is says naming trend, not the full name.

Gosh i love the fact that you're trying to call a car that's a Skyline, not a Skyline. (btw Wikipedia is the best way to get information)

lol

Lets have the Neon/SRT-4 battle while were at it.
