Nissan gives Japanese Motor Show goers a chance to sit in the R35 GT-R, and a surprise is in store at the upcoming Nismo Festival.
Nissan GT-R ‘Touch the Real’
Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka Motor Show attendees have the chance of sitting in the cockpit of the new R35 GT-R for one minute in a campaign to allow GT-R fans to get up close and personal with their new hero car.
Visitors to Nissan’s website can lodge their application and the winning entries will be announced before each show.

At the show it’s estimated that (depending on the day and time) between 345 - 445 people will be able to sit in the GT-R for 60 seconds and get a feel for the car before they buy… or just add some reality to their dream. The application and announcement timetable is as follows:

2007 Nismo Festival Surprise
The 11th Nismo Festival will be held on December 2nd, once again at Fuji Speedway… only this time the GT-R legend returns. To celebrate this Nismo have made a special page at NISMO FESTIVAL at FUJI SPEEDWAY 2007 where visitors can download a wallpaper image featuring a closeup shot of the new R35 GT-R’s headlight assembly.
As for the surprise, Nissan will have already introduced the new GT-R at the Tokyo Motor Show so the appearance of GT-R won’t have quite the same impact, but this will be the first time a GT-R takes to a circuit in Japan for the viewing public and we’re told that Nissan will make the appearance special in some way… a new color perhaps? Or a new model specification? We will have to wait and see. The theme of this years Nismo Festival is ‘SCOOP 2007′ so expect something special!
