Have you ever wondered what would happen if Nissan would introduce a convertible version for their high-performance GT-R? If Bugatti managed to engineer a convertible Veyron, Nissan could do it as well, right? Well, it's actually not that simple and that's probably why we won't get to see a convertible GT-R unless it's an aftermarket mod.
One such bespoke GT-R model could come straight from Newport Convertible Engineering (NCE), who spends a lot of time chopping off roofs over several vehicles. They already did it with the Acura TL four-door and now they've decided to do a drop top GT-R. Unfortunately, it's only a virtual representation of this Japanese supercar as a convertible, so we can't go too far regarding the use and performance of a production car.

A fast vehicle like the GT-R will require a lot of work to ensure the vehicle is strong enough to withstand its sheer power and speed, a mission that would be pretty tough even for Nissan themselves. On the other hand, maybe the guys over at NCE are crazy enough to take this project beyond Photoshop.
