German Tuner Gives Godzilla Gorgeous Matte Black Finish, Upgrades

German tuning shop AVUS Performance have given the Nissan GT-R a newly-modified ECU and exhaust to give the GT-R a boost to 570 HP and an impressive 516 lb-ft of torque. Also, sweet-ass matte black paint. Full gallery below.

The GT-R's been given a power boost, but it's really the exterior enhancements that make the AVUS Performance GT-R pop.


AVUS PERFORMANCE-Nissan GTR – Batmobil Reloaded

The Nissan GT-R build as a sportscoupe and direct opponent of the Porsche Turbo was revealed at the Tokio Motor Show in 2007. As a direct successor of the Skyline GT-R R34 the bar has been laid high already. With only 480 examples for Europe the GT-R is one of those rare sports-cars.

For AVUS PERFORMANCE a Nissan GT-R Black Edition was the basis for a very ambitious project. Besides optical changes they also put the emphasis on more power. A new modified ECU and a special new exhaust pipe (2 cats and the middle silencer have been removed) help the GT-R up to an impressive 580bhp and 700 Nm of torque (stock 485bhp and 588Nm).

Visually you can only imagine the power the GT-R has. The matt black, the lowering via coilovers (stock adjustments for the dampers will be kept) and the black painted 20" wheels combined with wheel spacers sum up the package. Individually painted parts like the front bumper, the rear diffusor, air vents, tinted windows can be seen when taking a close look.
