Nissan GT-R with Liberty Walk Widebody and iPE Sounds as Lairy as It Looks

There's something about the Nissan GT-R that will never cease to amaze us. We're not sure, but we guess it's the unrivaled cost/performance ratio.
In this Nissan GT-R's case, though, it's pretty clear who's to blame: that blatantly over the top wide body kit from Liberty Walk Performance. And the second the engine starts, another culprit pokes its guilty head: the iPE (Innotech Performance Exhaust) with its quad cannon bores.

To be perfectly honest, the car sounds less than impressive at idle. It sounds like a regular exhaust with a whole in it somewhere along the pipeworks. The Nissan GT-R was never the best sounding vehicle in the world, so it really needed something to bring the acoustic drama on par with the visual presence.

Speaking of visual presence, the video starts with a bit of a treat: a column of supercars and sportscars tuned to the bone making their way as if nothing special happened. It's easy to spot our Nissan GT-R, though, as it's sporting that huge body kit, an equally impressive rear wing and a special livery. Reading what's written on the car tells us the 700 hp GT-R was completely customized by Belgian GTR store and that it's wearing Toyo tires, of what appears to be a semi-slick assortment.

Don't be too quick to judge the car's sound. It isn't until the throttle is completely opened that we get to witness its full potential. Just like that poor Dacia (Renault) Duster did, the one you can see running for its life as the GT-R accelerates towards it. The sound is nothing like the rumble of a V8 but has more of a metallic, racing car tune to it. Whatever you want to call it, it's clearly violent enough to make you rewind and listen to that short burst of full-out acceleration once again. We know we did.
