In an interview with Car Magazine in January, Nissan’s design guru Shiro Nakamura mentioned that their is a possibility that Nissan will design a GT-R based Infiniti model. If so, you’ll not only make it to your dinner party on time, but you’ll do so in style.

We’ve seen the GT-R in person and the interior of the vehicle is a bit minimal, which  leaves some room for an upgrade. We’re anxious to see if they’re going to explore an Infiniti redesigned GT-R. If so, the M6’s and CL63’s of the world are up against some stiff competition.

“Back in April ‘06, we reported on the disappointment expressed by Infiniti dealers over the decision to make the new GT-R exclusively a Nissan. But retailers of the company’s premium brand, now branching out of North America and into markets in Asia and Europe, may have their prayers answered as Nissan considers creating an Infiniti derivative of the supercar.

The report comes from an interview with Nissan’s design guru Shiro Nakamura in the January issue of Britain’s Car magazine. “We have developed the platform and the transaxle powertrain – an Infiniti version is a future possibility,” says Nakamura. “I have not done a study yet, but we are thinking about it.” Promising words, though hardly the kind of confirmation dealers can bank on at this point, especially ones in the U.S. But with Infiniti dealers worldwide split over the direction of a potential new Q sedan, a GT-R derivative could do wonders as the brand’s new flagship model, positioned above the G37 coupe, which is sold in Japan as the Nissan Skyline.”
