GT-R gets Tango’d
Austria has given the world majesty in spades - Mozart, the historic city of Salzburg, wiener schnitzels and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to name a few.
Wanting to capitalise on its nation's poetic cultural contribution, Austrian tuner Konigseder has blasphemed against the Japanese car gods and tuned the untouchable Nissan GT-R.
See more pics of the Konigseder Nissan GT-R
With more spraytan than a trip to Double Bay and enough horsepower to make even Arnie terminate his citizenship, the GT-R is now both very orange, and very powerful - to the tune of 426kW.
Konigseder has installed a revised ECU, a new air filter and titanium exhaust, together with a new bodykit, KW suspension, 21-inch wheels and the cataract-clearing hue you see before you.
The Austrian tuning outfit reckons its new radioactive GT-R will hit 200km/h in just 9.8 seconds. Which - to you and me - is a big orange blur. Like a supersonic chunk of mandarin smeared across the autobahn.
Click through the pics to see just why GT-Rs shouldn't be painted orange. Blasphemy, or are you quite taken with it?

Its good to have more power in The GTR but the colour orange!!!!!!!!???? not really the point of running away in the Tuned GTR. BMWF10 is correct.

I think orange is a pretty cool colour, allthough i do agree that cops would see that orange beast from a mile away. Also in the second pic does the splitter make it look like its sitting on the ground??

it would be no good for a get away car if it didn't have that 426 kWs because the police would be able to see that orange beast from a mile away
