Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but it is supposedly 80% done and the pics are a pretty close representation of what the production car will look like. The only real exception is the front end. I think it looks pretty darn amazing.

Like I mentioned, the front end is the thing that will be changing the most.

looks pretty good for a concept. i have a feeling i'll get to see it at the D1 event in cali in december. They are having a pre-tokyo autosalon event there, so they may bring some cars over

That would be pretty cool. I think that is more than a concept at this point, because in the article they say that the exterior design is 80-90% complete.

It’s called the GT-R Proto (as in prototype) and a production version is coming to America. Eventually.

Its still a concept.

Yes techincally its a prototype, especially for the states, but the exterior design is closer to a production car than a prototype car for Japan.

I don't think so. I think it will change a lot more in two years before its even introduced in japan...

Thats quite possible. I am only going by what I was reading. Two years is a long time for it to not undergo many changes, although most of the time I imagine they would be working on the interior since that prototype car had none.
