:eh: probably a fake, so it probably won't be going into production, hence its probably a waste of time replying, but its fugly and would be a shame to the GT-R series..h:

if you're implying that the GTR concept image is a photoshop of that opel photo, you're probably wrong. using the same method that was used to compare the original G35 and the refreshed version here, you can easily see that the two images are pretty different, even when resized. for one thing the perspective is different in both images - try emulating that in photoshop.. the reflections all around the body and the windows are different which reflect the surrounding environments of each photo. the lighting is perfect, as are the shadows in the GTR concept image. making all these edits isn't impossible, but EXTREMELY difficult and not worth a magazine graphic designer's time. creating it from scratch would be easier.

i'm not saying this GRT concept isn't a photoshop, it just isn't a photoshop of that opel photo. i've attached two composite images, one where the rear wheel sizes of the two images matches approximately, and one where the front passenger side fenders are lined up. you can clearly see the differences.

well im not an expert on photoshop. I don't know much about it at all. However that was what was posted at freshalloy. Maybe they are wrong and this whole thing is just cgi. But I highly doubt this is a real image of a gtr.

Definitely looks like a rendering or complilation of images. Looks like parts were taken from that bottom pic but I wouldn't say the bottom pic was photochopped into the top pic. I like the real concept car better anyway.

I find it highly unlikely that an unreleased beauty photo of a new concept car would be circulating around the internet before any official announcement from Nissan. They already brought out a GT-R concept, which g2tegls posted.
