Nissan GT-R R35 Wide-Body 1:18 Diecast Model

The R35 GT-R has been in production since 2007 and has become the base for more wide-body kits than almost any other car, because its long bonnet and short tail take extra width well. This model is one of those builds rather than a factory car: the arches are bolted-on extensions with the rivets moulded individually, the front bumper carries a deep splitter, and the rear wing stands on swan-neck mounts off the boot.

The body is die-cast metal in a solid red with the kit parts in matt black. Doors and bonnet open; under the bonnet is the twin-turbo VR38 with its red cam covers, and the cabin has the Recaro-style seats in a contrasting colour. Wheels are deep-dish black multi-spokes with the tyres stretched slightly, as the real kits run them.

This is a model for the tuner crowd and for anyone who plays Gran Turismo or Forza, where this exact look is everywhere. It pairs naturally with the R34 in the same scale, factory stock beside modified.
