Nissan GT-R Gets Duck Hunt Wrap for Goldrush Rally

No sooner have we finished reporting about the Gumball 3000 and we're back with another rally where supercar owners have fun and we don't. Yes, it's officially here, the Goldrush Rally, which is all about being over-the-top and ostentatious.

Especially for this occasion, a black Nissan GT-R belonging to a fellow who goes by Jason_a__ was sent to the customizing shop of RDB LA for a "hunting" makeover.

No, we're not talking about hunting for sexy female companions, but about the classic Duck Hunting game for the Nintendo console. It's kind of fitting that the base car is a GT-R, since it's often been described as the Nintendo console of the supercar world, a car that likes to calculate its way around a corner.

Jason brought Godzilla to RDB one day before the race and told them “I want to go hunting.” In 24 hours, they had it ready.

The Goldrush is a rally that takes you from Los Angeles to San Diego, Las Vegas, Sedona, Santa Fe, Austin, New Orleans, Jacksonville and Miami.

First released in April 1984, Duck Hunter probably occupied the entire weekend of a generation, my generation to be precise. As most of you know, it required you to shoot ducks that appeared on the television screen, one or two at a time. To play it, you need to have a Nintendo Entertainment System light gun, which only the cool kids had.

Duck Hunt‍'s hunting dog character laughs whenever the player fails to shoot any ducks. He is both an infamous and iconic character in gaming, later appeared in Super Smash Bros for the 3DS and Wii U.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
