600hp Full Carbon Fiber Bodied Nissan GT-R To Debut Next Month

I have never been a fan of the Nissan GT-R R35. The design and abundance of electronics doesn’t do it for me, but this, now this is totally mean. It’s still a sketch as yet but it represents a new tuning proposal from Japan’s Original Runduce. It’s a full carbon-fiber bodied GT-R with a aggressive/gorgeous aero kit that bundles wider front and rear fenders, a new hood with several air intakes and a larger rear wing plus alloy wheels of which we have no information yet because for now, Original Runduce is keeping most details a secret.

Cool 34Wagon Got Us Thinking of What If’s

Wagons can look pretty mean and they go equally as quick. Take this R34 wagon that I found on Speedhunters for example, it’s actually a Nissan Stagea but the owner has taken it a few steps ahead and replaced the front end with a R34 and contrary to how that sounds, it actually looks pretty good. And helping it go as quick as it looks is a RB26 powerplant under the hood. You really can’t help but wonder, what would the 34Wagon would have been like if it were mass produced.  Read more
