Now that it's mentioned, I think it'd be totally awesome if the GTR had some race inspired downforce kit.
Throw in a big canards & a GT wing.
It would totally work in terms of performance and aesthetics for that type of car.
Lot of the track guys would opt for that anyways via the aftermarket,
so might as well have Nissan capitalize off that.
I agree. These "canards" look like weak cosmetic treatments at best. I would like to see how much downforce they actually provide. If they do, I'd bet it would be virtually meaningless to performance, and they probably don't begin to even function if under 100mph. I'm sorry but I can't like them. Whereas I was excited about the GT-R back in 07 at the TMS launch, I am highly disappointed in this new facelift. It's just awkward.
