Widebody Nissan GT-R Looks Extra Thick, Has "Faux Turbofan" Wheels

It was 2007 when Nissan introduced the R35 GT-R and it looks like the Japanese go-fast toy will soldier on for quite a while - while the carmaker has stated that Godzilla has a future, no details on the matter were released so far. However, this kind of extended life cycle is just what the aftermarket industry needs, for example.
The Japanese automaker initially tried to keep tuners at bay, despite the serious custom car reputation of the R35 predecessors. However, it quickly became obvious that such efforts were in vain, whether we're talking about the aesthetics or the tech sides of the supercar. And the rendering sitting before us is an example as good as any.

Over the years, we've seen all sorts of body kits for the Nissan halo car. And while the one portrayed by these pixels might seem wild to an untrained eye, it actually makes for a pretty well-balanced approach.

Unlike the latest Liberty Walk R35 widebody kit, which the Japanese aftermarket specialist released recently, the LB Walk fenders we have here are clearly separated from the factory body panels of the car.  But these are just a part of the plan.

The rest comes from the slightly tweaked front apron, with the "nose" changes ranging from the generously-sized splitter to the eye-catching LED "halo" fog lights - the last match the light rings found inside the headlights.

Then we have the wheels, which appear to follow the Turbofan design, albeit without the prominent centers that allow the said wheel type to fulfill aero purposes (think: extracting air from under the car and thus cooling the brakes and generating downforce).

Keep in mind that we have to thank digital artist Elio Anzora for this custom GT-R, especially since all the newfound bits seem to be so well integrated.
