The Tokachi-bound R35 Nissan GT-R is on a carbon-rich diet, as evidenced by images captured by our new friends at GTR-World. On the outside, the trunk lid, hood and side mirrors have been replaced with carbon fiber bits and the rear-quarter windows have been swapped out in favor of lightweight acrylic pieces. The stripped cockpit gets a carbon fiber racing bucket, a fire suppression system (with a carbon fiber mounting bracket) and a C.F. gauge and dash surround that's expected to migrate to the Nissan GT-R V-Spec when it goes on sale next year (look for the dry-carbon mirrors too).

| I'm a composites specialist at Clemson University and the things that are being done with carbon fiber are absolutely amazing. To think that entire body panels and huge components have been replaced with a composite like this is just amazing. People have even begun installing carbon fiber hoods on their daily drivers. Astounding. |
