Nissan Skyline to be rebooted, hinting at GT-R revival
As part of a reset of its high-performance line-up, the iconic Skyline nameplate is being overhauled in a new-generation model. Nissan has confirmed a new generation of the Skyline sports sedan – most recently the Japanese version of the Infiniti Q50 – as part of a high-performance resurgence poised to eventually revive the GT-R badge. While most car enthusiasts will associate the Skyline badge with inline-six, all-wheel-drive heroes of the 1980s and 1990s, Nissan applies the name to the Infiniti Q50 luxury car – no longer sold in Australia – in the Japanese market. With the Q50 and related Skyline now more than 10 years old, Nissan has used a media conference in Japan to confirm a new-generation model set to lean further into the classic lighting and badging cues of past generations. It is part of a long-term strategy to streamline the global Nissan line-up from 56 models to 45, and focus on top sellers or models that the brand is best known for. MORE: 2027 Nissan X-Tra...
