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 self-tan than a trip to Cheshire 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 572bhp.
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 124mph (200km/h) in just 9.8 seconds. Which - to you and me - is a big orange blur. Like a supersonic chunk of vomit 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?

I don't think it looks too bad personally. Makes a change from the norm of silver, white and black painted GTRs but surely they could have extracted more than an extra 80 odd BHP.

Orange GT-R's are old news. And lots of companies are tuning it now. I like Powerhouse Amuse one the most.
