One of the most iconic nameplates Japan has ever produced, the Nissan Skyline traces its roots back to 1957. The model made it onto U.S. shores in the 2000s, sold as the Infiniti G35, and later G37 and Q50. It was a proper sports sedan, too, with the Red Sport 400 trim offering a 400-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 shared with the new Nissan Z.But while America stopped selling the Q50 in 2024, its Japanese V37 Skyline version is still on the market – and has been since 2014. That model has long been in desperate need of an update, and it looks like Nissan is now finally ready to reveal its long-awaited successor. As part of the brand's new Vision Event, which will be streamed live on YouTube, Nissan dropped several sneak peeks at the upcoming Skyline, and there's plenty to get excited about. Nissan Teases The New Skyline's Aggressive Lines Nissan's latest teaser video of the Skyline shows that it's a completely different beast from the V37 Skyline and Infiniti Q50 we're all familiar with. If the new sharp and aggressive lines with modern elements and LED lights are anything to go by, the new Skyline looks like it could be a clean-slate design.After Nissan announced the new Skyline would be developed alongside another Infiniti SUV last year as part of their Re: Nissan business plan, there were some rumors that the model would also be an SUV. However, the new teaser video and images pretty much dispel those rumors, as the new Skyline's front end and fender area strongly hint at a sedan – albeit a relatively blocky one.Nissan That tracks perfectly considering Nissan's global design director, Alfonso Albaisa, commented at last year's Japan Mobility show, describing the upcoming Skyline as somewhere between the Nissan GT-R and the Nissan Z. However, since there are clearly four doors, the whole coupe idea goes out the window. He also explained that the design will draw upon classic Skyline proportions from the '60s and '70s fastbacks. "Think big, wide, and blocky. Aggressive and not retro," he added.That said, all of the above could just as easily describe a sporty crossover, and neither the teaser images nor the video provides enough design cues to settle that conundrum. Still, the distance between the surprisingly aggressive front fenders and the headlights seems too small for an SUV, and the wheel wells seem to be too close to the mirrors for a crossover. If anything, the new Skyline's blocky front-end silhouette gives off strong Dodge Charger Daytona vibes, which is a positive A Fine Blend Of Classic And Modern Nissan Fans of the classic Skyline will also rejoice as the upcoming car is bringing back some iconic classic features, such as those legendary quad circular tail lights. Instead of the Nissan logo, the new Skyline will also carry the classic "S" badge on the hood. It will also get a new "Skyline" badge on the rear fender, spelled out in the same script font as the badges that featured on the C10-generation models of the late '60s and early '70s. However, unless the Skyline's new Infiniti counterpart will also be called a Skyline, which would be awesome, we doubt we'll see those badges here in the States.The Skyline you see in these teasers is slated for a 2027 debut, but so far, no information has been shared on its platform or powertrains. That said, Nissan could be revealing more juicy details about the upcoming Skyline as well as other new models any minute now, so make sure to tune into the brand's live announcement broadcast.Sources: Nissan.
