Theory Communication and Design and Ben Schaffer of Bulletproof Automotive have purportedly built the perfect reincarnation of "Godzilla" for SEMA to celebrate the resurgence of the GT-R name and the release of the R35 Nissan GT-R. Ben's motivation was to build a GT-R that would surpass whatever Nissan had planned for the upcoming release of the limited-edition V-Spec GT-R, including upgrades to braking, handling, power, weight reduction, aerodynamics, and of course luxury. On behalf of Mobil 1, Schaffer took the idea and went to work, modifying his GT-R to improve the car's aesthetics and performance.

Near the end of the build, Ben added something to the GT-R that would excite any JDM enthusiast: exclusive OEM "Midnight Purple" paint, straight from Nissan Japan. This paint is reserved for only for the crème de la crème of GT-R's that meet Nissan's top spec requirements and really sets the car apart from the crowd.

The Mobil 1/Bulletproof Automotive GT-R will be the first R35 GT-R in the world to be adorned with the Midnight Purple color scheme, but there are a lot more unique attributes that make the car exceptional. Outside, folks can't miss the one-off Carbon Roof and Full Zele Carbon Aerodynamic Package with Amuse Wing, highlighted with graphic design by world famous designer Manabu "Mana-P" Suzuki of MS-R and Option. Under the hood you'll find performance modifications like a COBB AccessPORT ECU and a Powerhouse Amuse Full Turbo Back Exhaust System. Bringing the GT-R to a halt is an Endless Mono-6 Racing Brake Conversion on all four corners, while an Amuse Suspension with Electronic Integration, BBS LM Limited Wheel and Toyo Proxes R888 Tires keep the R35 planted firmly to the road.

The one-off custom R35 will be on display in the Mobil 1 booth (#25173) next week. For more information, please visit www.Mobil1.com, www.theoryconcept.com, www.BespokeVentures.com/blog/, and www.GT-RR.com.
