Vorsteiner will offer its Ventross Nissan GT-R from the 1st of June 2009. While this may be so, the tuned car will not be mass-produced so to speak. The components will be made to order for GT-R customers who want them. Ventross hopes this approach will ensure optimal fitment and the highest quality for each piece installed.

The package is an exterior aerodynamic one and consists of two components. The first one is the front fascia. It incorporates enlarged carbon fiber air intakes for the radiators. It also includes an extra source of cooling air for the brakes in the form of side louver openings. An aggressive front spoiler completes the look. Carbon fiber was used to construct the whole front end. This is a special proprietary dry carbon fiber made by Vorsteiner themselves using vacuum technology which minimises weight and maximises strength.

The second new component is the rear diffuser which is made of the same Vorsteiner carbon fiber. Ventross replaced the plastic factory unit with a carbon fiber version which has three integrated diffuser fins. The fins have central heat extraction vents that help to cool the exhaust system.

There are no performance figures available but it can be assumed that with better cooling and a more focussed diffuser the Ventross GT-R will outperform its standard counterpart, a car that makes 353kW (480hp) and does 0 - 100km/h in 3.6 seconds.

Press Release (Click to expand)

The Ventross Nissan GT-R features the same high quality aerodynamics engineering and construction expected from parent company Vorsteiner. The carbon fiber aero components for the Nissan GT-R is slated for market release on June 1st , 2009.

The GTR exterior aerodynamic package consists of two components:

Front Fascia

Ventross has created a new replacement front fascia that incorporates enlarged carbon fiber air intakes for the radiators and includes additional side louver openings that feed air to the brakes through the front fender lining slats. The fascia is completed with an aggressive front spoiler that attaches to the factory under tray optimal fitment strength. The entire front fascia is constructed from dry carbon fiber using Vorsteiner's proprietary dry carbon fiber vacuum technology which maximizes strength while significantly reducing overall weight.

Rear Diffuser

The GT-R rear diffuser has been redesigned to replace the factory plastic version with a more aggressive dry carbon fiber piece that houses 3 integrated diffuser fins with central heat extraction vents to aid in cooling the exhaust system. Like the Ventross GT-R front fascia, the rear diffuser is constructed using Vorsteiner's proprietary dry carbon fiber vacuum technology.

Due to the exceptionally intensive and high quality hand-made process and complexity of the pieces each set will be made to order per GT-R owner rather than mass produced. This is another step Ventross is taking to ensure optimal fitment and quality of work per piece.

Wow that actually looks really nice, the best kit for the skyline yet. Nice wheels too.

I rate it. I think it fills the "something's missing" gap in my mind. The charcoal paint suits the GTR.

Yeh, it looks good. Much better then the stock version. I think the stock GTR's front end looks pretty bad.

Fully agree, actually the stock GTR lacks the blackened areas from the early concept.

It still looks like a catfish, but that's a huge improvement.

Meh, still not going to convince me. Looks decent but still cannot deal with Japanese styling.

And I thought the R35 could get any better.... I was really wrong. Man, this kit looks hot!

That's pretty sweet, IMO. I think I prefer the stock wheels, but the kit is pretty nice.

Those wheels r prob the worst seen yet on the beast that is GTR. Black V-Spec fo Sho! Mo-Fo's! And to the boys writting down the specs, I'm pretty sure it's pulled a 3.4 to 100, whats that GT2 and GAY-ARDO only manage 3.8......

The rear looks heavier than it does standard and the front looks OK a little over done and it would probably tamper with the 0.27cd.

Subtle, nice. Elegant too. With still an evil demeanor. I'll take one!

Not a bad body kit but don't like the wheels at all. Prefer Wald's GTR than this.
