Sharing some of its engineering with Lamborghini"s Gallardo supercar, Auto Express has the first official pictures of the newcomer, which is due to hit British roads next summer.

And bosses suggested that the coup탩 - unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show - could be as easy to drive as a computer car. The company"s head of planning and design, Carlos Tavares, told us: "This is a supercar for the masses. It will be fun to drive and simple for novices to handle. But skilled drivers will still be able to push themselves."
Despite being a show car, there won"t be many changes when the production version goes on sale in 2007. At the front, striking projector-style headlamps and a single air intake give the model a distinctive new look, but the famous Skyline badge has been axed.
Unlike the previous R-34 version - which was last sold in the UK three years ago - the latest GT-R is a bespoke design, and not merely adapted from a saloon bodystyle.
Power is set to come from a twin-turbo 3.7-litre V6 engine producing as much as 450bhp. The newcomer is also expected to boast four-wheel drive and a seven-speed gearbox.
