Tommy Kaira Nissan GT-R To Debut at 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon
Published Nov 18, 2009
MINAMI-KU, Japan — Tommy Kaira has made news recently for releasing one of the only comprehensive kits for the hybrid Toyota Prius. Now word has leaked that the Japanese tuner is set on unveiling its package for the Nissan GT-R at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.
GT-R Blog has been following the development of the aero kit, which started back in August with a clay model. The aero package consists of a front bumper in FRP or carbon fiber, a front lip in wet or dry carbon, side skirts with fenders, a rear diffuser, a wing and a trunk lip spoiler. It also looks from images as though the firm outfitted the car with foglights in the front bumper as well as a Tommy Kaira logo positioned in the right side of the upper grille.
The suspension of the Japanese sports car will be upgraded along with the interior. Plans are to deck out the inside in red hand-stitched leather trim.
The vehicle's look is very reminiscent of Wald's aggressive take on the Nissan GT-R.
Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon. It starts January 15 and will be held at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo, Japan.
