Our man in Japan, Mr. Andy Goh hasn’t got back to us today so we figured he must be taking in the non-auto salon sights. While we wait for more photos from him, here’s one I found at AutoBlog and it’s probably one of those things that’s best left to be forgotten but how could we? It’s simply too hideous to be left alone.
A good looking car left to the untalented chops and this is the result – behold the NATS GT-K. Based on the Suzuki Cappuccino, the GT-K sports many parts that seem to make a mockery of the original GTR. The head and rear lights are from the GTR, the hood and other body panels are also reminiscent of the R35 but they look to be moulded to fit the smaller frame of the Suzuki.
Thankfully, that’s where the blasphemy ends. The Kei car is powered not by the GTR’s monstrous 3.8-liter V6 but instead it’s powered by a modified version of the 657cc DOHC inline-three equipped with a larger turbo and intercooler, along with coilover suspension, upgraded brakes and a set of gloriously hideous 18-inch chrome wheels. How did this car ever make it into the show? Obviously, its owner think it deserves a spot. Sheesh.
