Tommy Kaira R35 GT-R
In an effort to steal the spotlight away from the Toyobaru FT-86 G Sport concept, Tommy Kaira has introduced a tuned version of Nissan’s GT-R at the Tokyo Auto Salon today. As expected, upgrades are predominantly cosmetic, including air intakes and side skirts, as well as a wing, under spoiler and diffuser at the rear. The kit is prepared with a sexy wet carbon finish.
Mechanical tweaks are kept to a minimum, but the GT-R doesn’t exactly leave tons of room for improvement. Even so, Tommy Kaira has made exhaust, suspension and brake upgrades available. Carbon black, 20″ rims are good for a few more style points on this GT-R. Overall, it’s a tastefully executed package that accents the existing style features of the GT-R, but contributes a welcome touch of aggressiveness. Two more pics after the jump

Rumor: Next-Gen Nissan GT-R to Gain Hybrid Option
Introduced in 2007, the Nissan GT-R was created to rival Porsche’s 911, both on paper and on the track. Evidence has shown that it does this quite well. Nissan’s engineers even planned to mimic the model update cycle used by Porsche for the 911. After a year like 2009, almost everyone has made some changes to their strategies and future product line-ups. Likewise, Nissan is rumored to be planning a surprising option for the next generation of the GT-R. Although some rumors suggested a GT-R based SUV, or 4-door M5 fighter, sources of Inside Line have led them to believe a hybrid version of the current 2-door supercar is the most likely addition to the Nissan family.

Video: Nissan GT-R reaches 186 mph in 19 seconds
The Switzer P800 Nissan GT-R is not a toy. It’s so fast, even a camera can’t catch it! It is an extremely precise machine for achieving top speed in very little amounts of time. Twin turbos, free flowing exhaust, all-wheel drive, and a custom tune brings this monster to 186 miles per hour in only 19 seconds! The Nissan GT-R is a very nimble vehicle straight from the factory but adding the Switzer P800 performance package really wakes up the inner beast. Nick named Godzilla, this is one screaming JDM that means business with over 700 horsepower!
Not many cars can beat the Nissan GT-R combined with the Switzer P800 performance package. It’s kill list goes on and on! Whether in the straights, or through corners, the P800 GT-R is a daily driver for those who love speed and insane amounts of pull. The Switzer brings in an insane 0-62 mph time of 1.8 seconds! The best part about this beast, is that it achieved the esteemed 186 mph time by using pump gas and some white knuckle driving. For around $125,000 USD, one can own a saber toothed wolf in cuddly sheep’s clothing.
