Gallant Abflug Nissan R35 GT-R

2010 marked a new beginning for Japanese tuning company Abflug. The longtime body kit manufacturer was previously known best for its Toyota, Nissan, and Mazda offerings. But during this past year, Abflug joined forces with European specialist J.N. Hephaiss (also a Japan-based tuning company). The union then gave birth to Gallant Abflug, a new brand that specialized in high-end cars such as the R35 Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 GT3, and Ferrari F430.
It was an interesting twist that a Japanese tuning company, specializing in German and Italian cars, would have the only English language display at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon. Their booth was an interesting mix, putting Volkswagens and Nissans in the same area.
This R35 Nissan GT-R was the highlight of their stand, packing almost 630hp using a free-flowing exhaust and increased boost. Gallant Abflug claims that this car has run a best quarter-mile time of 10.8-seconds.
We can appreciate the big dollar monoblock big brake kit and 600hp but the body kit looks like a cross between a 370Z and a bad idea. The six-spoke wheels, which look like high-concept Italian wheels that nobody buys, are also misses in our book. Our suggestion is to stick with the power and keep it simpler than this.
