Nissan GT-R Dressed in Orange Hits Roppongi

We remember being in the exact spot where this video was taken. It's right next to the Asahi TV building and those lit trees were just being decorated at the time. Of course, we were there back in October during our coverage of the Tokyo Auto Show and we were being propositioned in a certain way, but we were totally right there, small world huh. Anyway, the driver of the 2008 Nissan GT-R is showing off his fancy shade of orange and then dusts the camera with impressive vigor. Looks like he's got some body kit bits and fancy wheels too. It's nice to see one that isn't in silver or black (or hot pink), even if it is Halloween themed..

@graverobber: She automatically got knocked up just looking at the car.
She's expecting a 370Z.

I like it! I'd do ANYTHING to get a ride in a GT-R. Is anybody on this site actually getting one?

@nerfball1976: True dragons know there's only two color choices: Japanese Racing White, or French Racing Blue (Given Nissan's Renault connection).

True dragons aren't french, but cause the french to surrender. There are two color choices: Japanese Racing White, or British Racing Green.

Those aren't choices, those are excuses.
True Godzillas will leave factory drenched in nothing less than the fresh blood of Japanese school girls.
Which I'm pretty sure you can buy out of vending machines over there.

But did it have to be Orange? What is it with this color. Orange Challenger, Orange Camaro, Orange Vibe, orange this and orange that...... well, at least it isn't some shade of grey!

Too bad my subaru could pass this guy on the highway.... Didn't they GPS / Speed limit these things because of previous Skyline "hoonage"? In Japan "skyline" is a derogatory term, it is such an epidemic. ( I guess the closest we have is IROC.) Only at sanctioned race tracks can the owner really explore the limits of this car because the GPS confirms you are at the track. Prob a good idea..
However, if this guy paid X amount over sticker, hes prob going to have someone re-flash his ECU, although i heard that was made more difficult somehow too.
If Ferrari built in a system that restricted HP output on public roads, we would have more Enzos to drool on.

@yellofury: You did NOT just compare the Enzo to the GT-R, did you?

@Ray Wert: hey all I know is that the Enzo was a very polarizing Ferrari when it came out
alot of people thought it was very unFerrari
and then they heard it rev up
and they saw it go through its paces

Im just saying alot of people have criticized the GT-R mainly on looks but I bet as soon as you hear one grown by you will have a change of heart

I think the new Sti will have the same effect

That car is such a peice of garbage. Watch, in 5 years it'll turn out just like the Supras back in the 90's. They'll be on used car lots for a dime a dozen and nobody will want one.

LMAO! Not because what you said was funny, but because I find your comment pitiable.

Used Supras are not cheap. Unmolested examples with the turbo will set you back at least $40k.

If we measured the success of the GT-R solely by the volume and intensity of inferiority complexes it has spawned for fanboys of other nameplates, it is, without doubt, the BEST CAR EVER.
