There was an old joke involving asking a pharmacist to provide a remedy for mosquito bites sitting on top of sunburns that had been made over bruises... or something along those lines. And while we sincerely hope nobody experiences something like that in real life, we imagine that's how the recent rumors about Nissan potentially killing off the GT-R felt for Godzilla's fan base after so many years of waiting for an R35 successor. Meanwhile, digital artists are doing their best to keep the current model fresh, with this rendering bringing a recent example of this.
The engine of the Japanese supercar killer has been sitting north of the firewall for 14 years now—make that 52 if you're willing to cover the entire history of the GT-R—but it seems that enough is enough.
This rendering relocates the motor, so we're now dealing with a midship spec—at least from this angle, anything seems to be possible, so the machine might even join Porsche in the rear-engined club, but we'd have to see more of it in order to tell if the unit actually sits behind the rear axle or not.
And we may be dealing with more than two turbos here—since the two units sitting where the bumper used to be don't seem to be linked to the motor—digital artist Al Yasid (a.k.a. yasiddesign) doesn't deny this when asked about it in the comments section of the post below—we expect another pair to be placed somewhere inside the trunk engine bay.
It's not just that the JDM toy comes with two (functional) turbos from the factory, but it also looks like we're dealing with four exhaust pipes. There are two sitting just over the rear diffuser, while another pair have replaced the inner taillights.
And, as little sense as the said forced induction setup makes, this stunning visual approach does involve taking care of cars running behind the Nissan GT-R, hence the mud flaps, whose yellow hue means anybody can notice the diligence.
Oh, and if that second-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in the background is of interest to you, please keep in mind we dedicated a story to the muscle car last month, widebody exhaust setup and all (you'll find a few additional images in the gallery).
