Gran Turismo 6 Mystery Car is Next Nissan Z?

MC · 06-15-2013, 08:45 PM

Here is some food for thought....Not sure who all has been following the Gran Turismo 6 news but there is a lot of speculation that this image could be the next Z35 concept car

The are a few reasons why there many think it is.

#1 The proportions and roofline are similar to that of the Z and what was seen in the sketches of possible concepts when jay leno visited the design studio

#2 Its of a car thats not released yet, as the the makers of GT6 were coy when asked about it

#3 Gran Turismo has an extremely close relationship with nissan

#4 GT has exclusively debuted a Nissan for the first time in game before ( GTR in 2007)

One the other hand the game is launching this November and There has been no word of a Z concept making a debut at the Tokyo Motor Show( just the 3rd generation R35) and does the Z
carry enough gravitas to be a headlining car for the game? It sure is featured on the main menu for the current game.....hmm

what do you guys think?

Interesting... the shape could certainly be a Z. You may well be right.

I hate to suggest it, but BRZ STI? The front looks almost like a BRZ with wide fender flares.

could be my mind playing tricks with me tho.

It does look like something along those lines..but it seems this car is a never before seen car according to the reaction when asked about it..... and it looking like a brz/frs might hint at a smaller next gen Z so that in itself doesnt dismiss the idea. All im saying is with GT Academy in full effect starting next month the partnership with nissan has never been stronger so to me it makes sense they could have partnered up to release the car to a key demographic in the game.. Not sure what it could be if its not the Z..

possible a surprise appearance of a Z35 concept this fall?

on GTplanet the question was asked to Mr Yamauchi

Quote:

GTP: One more question – will we ever find out what car is below that blue cover? (This has been an on-going topic of debate in the GTPlanet forums!)

KY: “Ha! That’s a very good question, but I can’t answer that yet! I’m glad you noticed. If you look at it carefully, you will see it is kind of a strange shape, with some interesting characteristics!”

then there is this

I had forgotten about their partnership and GT academy.

But it does also look like a BRZ, to me. If the next Gen Z looks like that, then fair enough. This is why I voted "maybe" in your poll.

That's what I was thinking. But hopefully it's the next Z.
