"How in the world is this Skyline GT-R a clean proposal?" I can hear the purists asking. I have to stress out the fact that we're talking about a rendering here, a genre that has taken over the Internet. So the said adjective has to be placed in this context for it to make sense.
We're looking at... scrap that - this is an R33-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R that's looking at us with sleepy eyes, the result of uber-generous eyelids and keep-it-simple LED daytime running lights adorning the 90s headlights of the toy.

If we look below the headlights, we'll notice that while the already-aggressive factory front apron styling was maintained, this is augmented by decently-sized aero work.

Moving past the front splitter, the generous front fenders come with open air channels and we can say the same about the rear fenders. And while we're talking about the side view of this all-wheel-drive hero, the side skirt extensions match the front lip spoiler.

And, thanks to the lack of a hood, we can feast our eyes on the solid RB26 hardware that occupies the engine compartment of the beast.

The microscopic ride height of the vehicle, as well as the way in which the lips of the wheels barely clear the arches, we're looking at an air suspension, which means the driver can always increase the ground clearance for those daily driving duties.

This might require a bit of zooming in, but the factory rear wing has been axed in favor of what can be described as a ducktail spoiler that extends to the side of the vehicle.

And while the rear window louvers round up the exterior updates, we can only notice one cabin addition, namely the roll cage (you never know when things go wrong, even in an AWD machine).

The eye candy sitting before us comes from Khyzyl Saleem, a gear head that sits in the first line of the rendering revolution.
