Tokyo Auto Salon: Nissan Skyline Aero concept
The nice folks over at Nihon Car and Bike have been letting out a few choice pieces of automotive tunage straight from the Nippon Convention Center at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS).
The TAS has historically been a showcase for aftermarket tuning houses to show off their wares, but over the past several years, the OEM manufacturers have been getting into the game more and more.
Case in point: the brand new Nissan Skyline (or Infiniti G35 on these shores) sedan gets a full body massage, with the addition of a new front fascia, side skirts, a small spoiler, and a revised rear bumper to house a set of enlarged exhaust outlets. Although it isn't clear how the Skyline got its new stance, the whole package is dropped over a set of nine-spoke, 20-inch wheels.
No information was provided about what, if any, mods were performed within the engine bay, but knowing how Nissan's engineers can get when left alone with some R&D dollars, we'd expect something pretty entertaining.

This car looks good, but the front air dams are a little too big.

Looks like a crossbreed of a cls and an m5.

Looks like I had to get here sooner to make a cheeky comment about the girl.
On the car, far more tasteful than the IS-F Lexus just showed in Detroit. I truly hope they redo that car's body kit--they have enough time.

This car looks very closely to m5, although I still would like the girl than the car ;-)

Some of you are playing the stupid "car looks like a____" game and have said this looks like an M5. Care to explain how it looks like an M5 in any details (or how it looks 'closely' I guess)?

Extremely nice. Is that color avalable on the G35? I have no idea.Not seen it here.
Yes, the gorgeous lady compliments the car ;or the car compliments the gorgeous lady; or maybe they just make each other look good.

Nice 1:1 copy of the Mercedes CLS... has Nissan no own ideas of a 4 door sedan/coupe?
Perhaps they should order the Brabus Rocket (modded Mercedes CLS) stick their GT-R badge on it and they would save alot development costs... and they would own the fastest 2production" sedan..

stj: You should teach English. That was a beautifully crafted sentence. Brilliant.
I particularly like how you took three or four discrete thoughts which, on the surface, seem like they would call for their own sentences. You throw everyone for a loop, however, and cram them all into one giant run-on sentence. How efficient!
