Ugly it is. But it sure does have some good performance numbers. The article points out the same thing I was thinking. A newer version of the old Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. The Nissan 300ZX twin turbo from those days was also a technology laden, but heavy car. I think they shouldn't have bothered with a backseat with this new GT-R Pretty much like the backseats in a 911 or the Lexus SC430...nothing other than a small child or shopping bags are going in them. Be interesting to see how a Z06 stacks up in some head to head road track times.

Looks like the crumple zones work good.
