Yes they were helpful. I wouldn't know if that picture is from India. There are a handful of GTR's in India and I believe they are well documented here. Never heard of any R35's wrapped. If there is one , then it must be a great looking car.

Yes , indeed the gtr's are well documented here. All the best for your gtr.

dont mean to change your decision, but just helping your imagination!!

dont know about its effect on handling, but it looks real neat without the rear wing!!

It does look great indeed. But I'm sure it's going to affect the aerodynamics in some way or anything. Every crease, every wing-let, every fold on the body plays a rather important part in the car's aerodynamics, down-force and handling characteristics. I wonder what the result would be for this example.

Woah..
give me an option between Salma Hayek and this black babe and i will pick this one. (Dont worry Salma you gave a tough competition).
BTW is this a standard colour option on the GTR? I dont think any other car in the world has a matte black colour.

I second suhas on that. They are there for a purpose and should be left alone.

I smell TopGear and Jeremy Clarkson

but yes, the spoiler is one of the key reasons why this car has been setting amazing times @ the 'Ring.

Lamborghini offers matte black paint as a special option and any high end car maker can paint in matte colors if given a sample.

Hehe

looks like Shamik knows something about me now! Yup, but I was aware of that fact earlier but put it across in simple Top Gear fashion!

That said, it does make a real difference to the car. I think spoilers that come as a stock part shouldn't be touched!

Haha. Suhaas is giving the same description as Jeremy did,but you did miss out on the side view mirrors deflecting air into the big wing.
Though it looks neat it would definitely screw up the downforce.

704 lb-ft Torque @ 4,100 rpm

Performance: 0-60 mph: 2.6 sec. (stock = 3.4)
0-100 mph: 6.2 sec. (stock = 8.3)
0-150 mph: 13.5 sec. (stock = 19.5 sec.) 1/4 mile: 10.5 sec. @ 136 mph (stock = 11.8 sec. @ 118 mph)

im sure he has. for all his cars he seems to do some MAJOR research before buying on the car and on mods. if im not wrong, ecks probably has each and every mod already planned out completely on the gtr.

Matt black? Great choice, two thumbs up!
Always wondered why I didn't see more sports cars in that colour. Saw an Audi RS4 in matt black the last time I was in London, it looked amazing.

I had seen a Murcielago LP 640 in Matte black when I had been to London sometime back. It looked so brilliant! For a split second, I thought that it was a Reventon from a distance! But here is a picture of a different Matte black Murcielago LP 640.

P.S. Check out the interior. You can't miss it!

After looking at the interiors the first thing my eyes went on was the number plate. These arab's and their colorful interiors.........
