Nissan
will bring a dozen exciting exhibits at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon next month
(January 10-12), with two interesting Skyline-based concepts serving as the
main course.
The
first of them is called Skyline 400R Sprint and it embodies a sporty
interpretation of the sedan that’s sold as Infiniti Q50 outside Japan. The
study features an aggressive body kit including new bumpers, a fixed rear wing,
sharp side skirts, and a vented hood.
Adding
to the racing-inspired appearance are the 20-inch black forged wheels shod with
performance tires that have green sidewalls matching the green body accents.
The body is sprayed with white silver paint and features contrasting matte
black elements including the engine hood, roof, and aerodynamic parts.
There’s
no information regarding performance but Nissan promises an “overwhelming
engine output and the driving potential pursued to the limit.” Given that the
car is called Skyline 400R Sprint, we’d be willing to bet it features the same
400 horsepower twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine from the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport.
The
second concept is called Skyline Deluxe Advanced and it explores the sedan’s
luxurious side. The study features a stylish two-tone paint scheme combining
matte brown and matte silver, as well as new alloy wheels finished in the same
colors. Inside, Nissan says the Skyline Deluxe Advanced comes equipped with
high-quality two-tone leather seats.
There
are no additional details but the front fender badge reveals the fact that it
packs a hybrid powertrain. Compared to the Skyline 400R Sprint, this one
appears to have more chances of going into production.
The
rest of Nissan’s lineup for the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon is very eclectic and
includes city cars, minivans, sports cars and supercars. Performance car
enthusiasts will be able to see the limited-edition Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign
in production guise, Nissan GT-R Nismo, as well as the 50th Anniversary
editions of the Nissan GT-R and Fairlady Z.
There
will also be two electrified Nismo models at the show: the Leaf Nismo and Note
e-Power Nismo S Black Limited. Also on display will be the Nissan Elgrand
Autech, Serena e-Power Autech Multi Bed and NV350 Caravan Premium GX Urban
Chrome concepts.
