no one actually knows what power it will have, only rumors so far. I've heard between 400hp - 500hp.

Yea i remember reading about it a while back. The engine output is up cause asia used to have that 208kw (or round that figure) limit on there engines. Now no more. And with the look of the car. Thats its natural progresion. Cause you have the r32 , r33 then r34 then nothing. This isnt an r35. It be more like an r37 or there abouts. This is where nissan belives the design of the car would have gone if it was a continuation , model after model. Considering what the new VE and 380 and other first generation cars look like i dont mind it.

Considering this new GTR will be worth ~$150,000 over here, comparing it to the VE and 380, isnt really a worthy comparison. By the looks, price, and rumors of what the engine will be, the next GTR is in Porsche territory (although, I guess it kinda was before aswell). So I guess its taken more of a shape of what you'd expect this kinda car to look like. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
