Despite All the Wings, They Still Plan to Drive It<\/h2>\n

The wild Nissan GT-R<\/a> you see here is ready to take on the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb in South Africa in May. The obviously heavily modified car was built by Franco Scribante Racing<\/a>.<\/strong> The team added, among other things, some of the most outlandish aerodynamic elements to the exterior of the car. Most notably the wings.<\/p>\n

The car has a massive front splitter and then an even bigger wing at the front. Then it gets another big wing at the rear of the car.<\/strong> all of this should help smash the car down into the tarmac when it’s at high speeds, which is exactly what the team wants. Carscoops<\/a> was the first outlet to post a story about the car and Jalopnik<\/a> dug a little deeper, revealing the vehicle has other changes, too.<\/p>\n

It gets upgrades to its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that makes it good for 1,600 hp to the wheels.<\/strong> The team built the car in collaboration with Dodson Motorsport. They went to Pikes Peak last year. This year the team is ready to take on the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb in South Africa. Jalopnik notes the team has been working 18-hour days to prepare for the race. <\/strong><\/p>\n
