the stunning Nissan GT-R you can see here was commissioned by a Chinese businessman, already the owner of a large collection of cars, who has asked the renowned Bulgarians at Vilner to tune it up. His request led to a one off, eye-catching beast which features traditional Chinese interior elements. Put together, all he wanted was a “dragon” themed interior.
The symbol of influence and power in the Chinese folklore, the dragon has superbly served as an inspiration for Vilner. They have chosen a black and red design on the interior headliner, resembling the mythical beast, and an additional one for the inner side of the boot.
The rest of the cabin was also garnished with red and black works, completely decked with black carbon leather with red piping and stitching, and Alcantara, from the dashboard to the door panels, the front and rear seating. The steering wheel and the gear shifter were also redesigned, adorned with carbon fiber accents, while the air vent surrounds and the door trims have been painted in chrome red. Vilner have also covered the exterior of this GT-R with a matte foil.
The propulsion system has been modified as well and the car has received a brand new titanium exhaust system. Its output has gone upwards, from a stock 440 WHP to 530 WHP.

To creatively paraphrase NSX chief engineer Ted Klaus, the upcoming Acura supercar will be like a Nissan GT-R, but built for drivers.

Exactly what does that mean? In essence it will deliver truly world-class performance without an ultra-exotic price tag. It also will maintain the brand’s core man-machine synergy principle.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Speaking during a recent round-table with journalists Klaus would not, however, reveal anything (or at least not much) about the car’s projected price. In fact, he wouldn’t even provide a give-or-take-$50,000 estimate.

Instead he chose a wider spread commenting that it will fall within the range of the Porsche 911. Hardly helpful, that currently covers a range from $80,000 to just over $180,000.

Perhaps suggesting it won’t be near the top of that range Klaus revealed that the, “person excited to own and drive this vehicle will have a tremendous sense that they got back a … sports car experience at a price that is a fraction of those vehicles.”

HOW FAST WILL IT BE?

As for what “those vehicles” are, Klaus elaborated, commenting that benchmarked cars range into the truly exotic, including the Ferrari 458 and McLaren MP4-12C. Less pricey, though equally capable rivals include the Corvette, Audi R8 and perhaps the car the NSX will be compared to most (based on factors of performance and price) the Nissan GT-R.
