Austrian tuner gets their hands on the GT-R

We can’t be faulted if the only reference ‘Austria’ and ‘motorsports’ brings to mind is the Formula One races held at the now-defunct A1-Ring but a tuner in the birthplace of Adolf Hitler has waved their wands on the Nissan GT-R and conjured up a respectable performance and styling kit.



Königseder has revised the ECU, added a sports air filter and a titanium Akrapovic exhaust for a bark every bit as nasty as its bite. With just these minor tweaks, the GT-R now pushes almost 100hp more, 572hp as compared to the factory 485hp.



There are no sprint figures for the century mark but the double century is dealt with in a mere 9.8-seconds courtesy of the mods.



Königseder has also designed an aero kit for the GT-R that compromises of a ludicrous front splitter that gives the car a double-chin effect and side skirts. The handling department benefits from a KW suspension with 21-inch rollers wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport shoes.
