Nissan GT-R owners are always looking for the perfect lap time on a smooth, clean track. Not every owner is like that; consider this guy from the Netherlands. He took a 2010 GT-R and, rather than tinkering with the suspension to save seconds on the track, set out to turn it into a beast capable of tackling some extremely tough terrain.
This vehicle began life as a regular 2010 GT-R, replete with the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine. The tuners didn’t just leave it as is; they gave it a thorough tune, increasing the power to nearly 600 horsepower. Every press of the accelerator generates a significant amount of grunt. As it happens, the extra power comes from the same all-wheel drive system that came with the car from the factory, but with a somewhat different vibe.

The biggest change, however, occurs in the suspension, where the guys installed new springs that lift the body by a staggering 120 millimeters (4.7 inches for you and me), giving the car a lot more clearance to play with when it comes to bumpy terrain. Then there’s the wheel arches; the men fitted bolt-on extensions to give the car enough space to accommodate some very durable all-terrain tires wrapped around the original alloy wheels, providing far more traction on loose surfaces than the normal setup could ever hope to.
The exterior is given a makeover, with LED lights installed on the front bumper and a bar running across the roof to increase visibility when driving in low light conditions. Roof racks hold your gear, and a full size spare tire is mounted on top in case you get a puncture while driving miles from nowhere.
Inside, not much has changed; you still have your leather sports seats with electric adjustments, and the steering wheel has all of the same functionality as before. The cabin remains rather pleasant on lengthy rides, whether on the highway or on a dirt track. The mileage sits at 54,237 kilometers, which is fairly low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. And then there’s the history: there was only one previous owner, and the odometer had barely moved 7700 kilometers in the last five years.
Dealers first offered this GT-R in 2020, and it was coated in a camouflage wrap that has now been removed to expose a stunning metallic finish below. It’s now listed at Autobedrijf Wim Prins in Nunspeet for €99,500. When compared to a basic 2010 GT-R in decent condition, it’s easy to understand why it could be worth paying the extra money for all of the custom work, though I imagine the guys who create the Porsche 911 Dakar might disagree.
