| Definitely no, because the Skyline's tech (twin turbo I6, ATTESA E-TS AWD) has never existed in any form on a Ferrari. There has never been an awd system on a ferrari, and very few ferraris are turbocharged. Also, the inline 6 configuration has also never been used by Ferrari on a road car. The things that make the Skyline GT-R great came from the Japanese auto industry, not the italian one. These are the active torque split ATTESA E-TS awd system, the Super HICAS four wheel steering system, and the twin turbocharged RB26DETT engine. Ferraris are great cars but I don't see how they have anything in common with the Skyline GT-R, as most are normally aspirated, high revving, mid engined, rwd cars. |
