New Nissan GT-R rendered

We know that a new-generation R36 Nissan GT-R is in the works, but the Japanese car-maker is keeping quiet on how its next supercar slayer is progressing.

Amid the silence, British automotive graphic design graduate Roman Miah and digital creator Avante Design have collaborated to produce their take on how the next-generation all-paw speed machine is shaping up, sharing the finished product via Instagram.

According to Miah, the project took more than six months of design and 3D modelling work, with the ultimate goal being to blend classic Nissan Skyline design cues with the more modern features of the most recent GT-R.

“The idea behind this concept was to recapture the design cues and unmistakably Japanese styling of the iconic Skylines of the past whilst also looking into the future of GT-R,” Miah said.

“Collaborating with Avante Design to develop the concept, which included over six months of work and at least a couple hundred hours of design, development and 3D modelling, we are proud to finally present this.”

The familial relationships between iconic Skyline models and the GT-R are there for all to see, with classic cues at the front- and rear-end while GT-R vibes are found in the roofline and cabin.

The front fascia is inspired most heavily by the R34 Nissan Skyline with it rectangular lights, blocky bumper elements, plethora of parallel lines and intake layout.

Between the wheels is an all GT-R affair, however, with almost identical roof, window, parabolic and character lines to the production version, not to mention the vents on the back of the front wheel-arches.

At the rear we find R34 and GT-R-style staged tail-lights, however they’re blended with the iconic R32 Godzilla Skyline’s narrow fascia design and the R33’s more rounded hip frame.

The rear bumper looks like nothing previously seen on any Skyline or GT-R model, with twin exhaust outlets poking through a large diffuser with aero winglets at either end.

The final piece of the puzzle, the rear wing, is another amalgamation of generations but with split levels – something not seen previously.

All up, it’s an appealing ‘greatest hits’ rendition of arguably Nissan’s best sports cars, and although it won’t reach the production line, it’s a beaut diversion as we wait for Nissan’s designers to deliver their handiwork…
