NISSAN'S AT SEMA // PREVIEW - PART.1

With Nissan’s new GT-R having been released this year, we were sure SEMA would see a handful. Of the numerous R35 Nissan’s expected to attend, the Mobil 1 GT-R stood out a bit. Ben Schaffer is responsible for the build, and according to our friends at MotorAuthority, his intentions were to build a car more powerful and more capable then what Nismo was producing, with their yet released Spec-V. Painted in a Midnight Purple (only available in Japan), the Mobil 1 GT-R features plenty of carbon-fiber (hood, decklid, and even the roof), as well as a Powerhouse Amuse rear wing. Performance upgrades come in the way of a COBB Tuning ECU upgrade, as well as a full turbo-back exhaust system courtesy of Amuse. Slowing things down is a set of six piston calipers from Endless. All in all, a GT-R we are looking forward to seeing more of // 11.01.2008
