When Nissan sent their GT-R around the Nürburgring and claimed their 7:879 time as a lap record for “a volume production car,” there were cries of rookery. Currently, the GT-R’s lap time sits behind a pair of Radicals, Porsche’s very expensive and quite hybridized 918 Spyder, and the Lamborghini Aventador SV. All well and good, but Nissan used quite a few special parts to make that lap happen. Fear not, Nissan enthusiasts! Courtesy of the new N Attack package, those very same parts are now available! Americans can now set up their R35s for the rigors of the Green Hell! Or at least brag that their cars bear exclusive Nürburgring-taming parts.
What’s included? We’re glad you asked. You get extra aero bits to keep your GT-R stuck to the ground, a suspension designed for the rougher surfaces encountered on the Eifel Mountain course, and new seats to hold you in place while whanging Godzilla from corner to corner.
Japanese GT-R enthusiasts can get the business done at the company’s Omori factory, having their packages installed by the same mechanics who worked on the record car. Stateside, Steve Millen’s your man. His Stillen operation is the official installer and certified sales agency. Nissan would like to point out that Stillen’s techs were sent to Omori for training, so it’s almost like sending your car to Japan—if Japan were in Orange County, California. An N Attack GT-R will be on display at this year’s SEMA Show, where fanboys can drool upon it in all its matte white, bewinged glory.
