The Nissan V35 GT-R Skyline concept from 2001 reappeared as the GT-R Proto concept in 2005.

The concept displays similarities with the V35 concept, with the tall dark headlights and angular lines running off the front wing. The GT-R Proto also features an attractive Stratos-style wrap around windscreen and trademark Skyline quadruple afterburner tail lights.

Since its introduction in 2005 the GT-R Proto has done a worldwide tour of the major auto shows and impressed visitors at every one. Now a production model closely based around this concept has been confirmed, the interest around the GT-R Proto continues to grow.

There was some speculation that the GT-R Proto may be manufactured under the upmarket Infiniti badge, but Nissan later revealed this to be false. Unlike the previous Skyline which was a Japan-only model with all European and American cars imports, the GT-R Proto will be sold officially in both markets. With Sales in Japan starting 2007, and a US introduction due 2008.

The original Skyline's 2+2 seating configuration remains, but power for the GT-R Proto comes from a twin-turbo V6 as the original cars straight six engine is no longer in production.
