The Q50, the 350GT, the SKYLINE 350GT... its all the same car. this however is a 300kw (~400BHP) version of said car. The 350GT also came in a 370GT version with more pep, and then there's a 2.0L turbo model and a 350GT Hybrid, the best of both worlds, fast powerful and cheap to run as a daily. The Nismo special ed would wipe the floor with the others, (STOCK). It's pretty lame we won't get the Nismo ones here. We have 350GT's with Nismo body kits and such around but the tune and the updated panels are nice. Like everyone said, the 2014 interior is kinda sadly left in the past. Drive a R34 today and the interior looks like a 95 Primera with some Gran Turismo screens in it. Nissan do engines and exteriors and leave the nice interiors to the Euro cars.
