It seems he iconic japanese sports cars are disappearing.
Even if they try to make new ones, there still won’t be new Skylines, Supras and RX-7s.
I don’t think ge Nissan GT-R is a real skyline. First, the V6 replacing the emblematic RB26.
Also, it no more feels the same. It’s a great car anyways, but it doesn’t look like a new Skyline. Maybe the front lights ? Maybe this strange spoiler ? Maybe the front bumper ?
I like the Concept more because of these. But it still didn’t deserve the Skyline name.
It seems like Toyota, Nissan and Mazda are ashamed of their own legends. They no more use the names they used for what ? 20 years ? 30 ? Maybe 40 ?
It would be just like Ford discontinuing the Mustang, isn’t it ?
they are not disappearing. other cars have taken their place: toyota GT86 wich is a great car, the MX-5 , nissan 370z, infinity g37, lexus is-f, lf-a, nissan silvia s15 , others will come as well. it is true that their not making as many as they did before. the reason for that is called demand and marketing strategy.
in the case of the new skyline (gt35) ; using a v6 allowed them to make a smaller size/larger displacement unit , resulting in better handling. make no mistake, the newer gt35 is ways better than the old model.
R34 still looks better in my book
speaking of which, has anyone seen the new Type-R Civics? they don’t look nothing like the old ones, which were light, compact and quite nimble and not to forget cheap as dirt
Ford Windsor
Ford FE big block
Crysler HEMI
AMG V12’s made for Pagani for use in the Zonda
BMW’s 4.0 Liter V8
BMW’s I6’s
Audi’s 4.2 Liter V8
Alfa Romeo’s Twin Cam I4
Alfa Romeo’s Twin Spark I4
Alfa Romeo’s V6 (2.0l-3.2l)
They made a 6.4L Twin turbo Power stroke from 2010-12 which is a bullet proof motor so he was technically not wrong and the 6.0l PS is a great engine after you replace the head bolts with ARP head studs and get an after market EGR cooler
and dont forget the Mitsubishi 4G63T
Does the W16 count from the Bugatti Veyron or the Porsche V16
thats the car I mean it came from alleged 2000bhp with Turbochargers!!
