Nissan GT-R Wagon

GT-R styling, Wagon practicality

The Nissan GT-R has already received rave reviews from just about everyone but those looking for a more family friendly version have been left waiting for the long rumored GT-R sedan to make its debut. Well it appears someone finally got tired of waiting and ended up creating what could be the world's first GT-R wagon.

Wearing a GT-R front end, the Nissan Stagea wagon boasts an aggressive appearance that would make drivers of the BMW M5 Touring and Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon think twice about passing. Built by Japan's Kids Heart tuning company the GT-R Stagea features a reduced ride height, big matte black wheels with bright accents, and a GT-R inspired rear bumper with quad exhaust tips.

Although we cannot be certain if the wagon features the GT-R's 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 engine with 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, it has more than enough style to get by on its unique looks.

I usually like wagons, but this looks awkward. The rear should have been sportier. This Volvo-ish rear does not suit the front. Nice effort though.

this is stupid. every new design or facelift is and will be stupid based on the gtr, until.... until... they give us what they promised. a 520 (or was it a 550 bhp) spec v. i dont care if they make one that can fly, i want a proper spec v.

I see no trace of sporty look in that rear end (except those exhaust pipes). Luckily the colour is white and not black. Otherwise it would have been a funeral GT-R.

This car looks absolutely great! Ok, the Stagea-rearend isn't the most beautyful wagon, but a GT-R station wagon is such a nice idea. I think, that the "Skylinefront" had a saloon-character

Stagea? They should call it the Medusa! So ugly you can't pass it without turning to stone. Seriously, all this time and effort--and this is the best they could come up with? SHAME

The back half is from the Nissan stagea. sweet i think it looks great, they should start the production of the stagea back up the last was the 2004 I'm getting one in a few months depending on the economy it will the the rs4t with a 2.5l turbo and atessa all wheel drive with 280hp. but this would be a wagon weapon.

how can you guys say that the rear end isn't sporty!?! it is SO much sportier than almost anything else out there. Square rear ends are way better than the sloping ones that EVERYONE is doing now. Effing cool car!

A Bugatti Veyron limousine would be more like it. Perhaps at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year?

Uhm? How similar are the platforms between the current GT-R and this, the Stagea? Because what they've done here, rather successfully, is made a regular Japanese estate quite a bit uglier with this conversion. If it does not pack the same performance, why make it look like a truck/burn victim?

The front looks exceptionable the rear just instantly fails.....Really ugly....The panamera and x6's rear completely destroys this design.
