Gentleman Edition Nissan GT-R for France


Live in France and have a desire to own one of 10 Gentleman Edition Nissan GT-R's? The R34 GT-R had an M spec, or gentle"man"spec. It was a more luxurious version of the R34 GT-R. This car is put together out of the Nissan parts pin. At least they didn't use any of the VVIP gold accents on the car.

If you have a spare 97,900 Euro or $126,000 you can purchase the Grey Squale with Red Amber interior Gentleman Edition. Along with the exclusive color, you get a titanium identification plate, Gentleman Edition badging, and the same 545 horsepower of the 2013(world) Nissan GT-R.  With only 10 being produced, it almost begs the question of why? A lot of effort for a small change.

2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack: Godzilla Levels up! - Ignition Episode 67




In this episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, Carlos Lago shows the Track Edition/Track Pack. The Track Edition is good, the NISMO will be better.  Check out the video below.

Team Galag Nissan GT-R for the Gumball 3000

No, I don't know what is going on in the front.


If you are going to take an R35 Nissan on the Gumball 3000, it seems like you just can't take a normal R35. It has to be wild, it has to be over the top. I guess it has to pose the question - WTF?

The front, is well, unique. the car looks wide, supposedly 750 horsepower. Perfect for the Gumball 3000?

Helping build the car was America’s own Parker Brothers Concepts, which was also responsible for Team Galag’s Tumbler. The UK’s Litchfield Motors, meanwhile, worked on the GT-R powertrain, which in the TG1 has been tuned to deliver 750 horsepowerand 700 pound-feet of torque
It seems like it might compliment the Batman Tumbler. More pictures and the full story over at Motor Authority.

This should describe Gumball 3000 in a single sentence.
