It is based on the Nissan R35 GTR and Lexus LFA.
The Wangan GSX has a radio ad. In the advert, it's said that it has a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This, in fact, is a nod to the real-life Nissan GT-R performance wise, which also has both 6-speed automatic transmission (with manual mode and dual clutch) and all-wheel drive. Its slogan, "A legend in the making" is also a nod to Nissan GT-R's continuing popularity.
The description refers to GT-R's predecessors' reputation for winning many races and Nissan GT-R's technological advancement achieved through long process of research and development (it took 5 years just to develop the GT-R).
