I will say that the GTR is not as visually appealing as our NSXs, but there is some kind of sexiness to the car still. It's kind of like a larger/thicker girl that is still tight and sexy compared to other girls that are larger, but certainly not a supermodel compared to the NSX's stance haha.
With that said, the GTR is exactly what Nissan wanted to acheive. It is the embodiment of the Japanese culture/style and the GTR is very original, unique and powerful looking. No one can mistaken that car for anything else on the road if they know cars even a little bit. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's probably a perfect execution of the direction Nissan wanted. From the beginning the Skylines have always been larger cars. And large car are not known for being devastingly sexy as low slung, mid-engine coupes.
The stigma with our cars is most people don't know what it is, is that a Ferrari, Lambo, Corvette or even some other common vehicle not even in the same clout as the above mentioned. It's a shame really, because considering the time that the NSX came out, it looked way better and more modern than anything on the market. Ferrari design quality was sucking ass and Lambo's style was still not quite there yet either. No one really knows that and thinks our cars are trying to be a 360, 355 or late 90s Diablo (cause the early ones were a bit ugly). No one really know that all of these cars came after the 90s Japanese golden era that ignited the car industry and left European automakers bouncing on their toes to catch up.
Yes, the NSX and many other 90s supercars were engineered to compete with European super cars, but this was solely on a performance basis. The visual design that came together I believe is quite original. I mean, hate to say it but BMW is still lagging behind on their interior design cues. Great, you have fantastic cupholder, but your center console still does not look better than my late 80s designed NSX's interior. Maybe you need to take some cues from Audi lol.
