News>> Bensopra R35 Gt-r

It's not every day new tuning shops are born, especially in this current economic climate. But if you are coming into an already competitive industry where getting noticed is the name of the game, then you might as well go full out and impress people from the get go. That's precisely what Osaka-based BenSopra are doing. They haven't been around for long, only a few short months, but have already managed to get noticed in Japan by getting their Lamborghini Gallardo demo car featured in some of the top selling publications like GENROQ. However it's their next project everyone is talking about in Japan…

…one of the most extreme R35 GT-R ever to be made, boasting a completely original widebody conversion and upwards of 1000 HP.

The car will be shown for the first time at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon on Friday the 13th of January, just three months from now.

This CG image gives an idea of what the finished car will look like, sporting massive rear overfenders and extreme aerodynamic details such as a rear wing and diffuser straight out of a GT car, not to mention the countless canards along its profile.

Can you spot the side exit exhausts? 

We aren't allowed to spill any more beans about this project but rest assured it will be equally impressive under the skin, a true JDM brute in every way. What do you guys think?

i can dig it. but im not to sure about the wing....

2

What a beast! I can't wait to see that for real!

3

Sick. Too bad I'll never have one

4

GHUD luck BenSopra, looks like a great idea and concept, hopefully there will be more, Thanks Mr Carbonare for sharing.

5

I LOVE it :D It's really quite unbelieveable. The amount of details is just overwhelming!

6

I'm not too jazzed about the wide body kit having all those weird ridges sticking out but a GT-R that puts out 1000hp would be pretty sick.

7

That does not look good, and I know that a real engineer could do better... Obviously it's going to go faster and they will upgrade parts. So it'll perform well, it'll just be sad that with a greater mind the same money would of created more.

8

Those gils after the wheels is such a great detail overall it looks like a mad killer.

9

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

10

it still is not a Bugatti nor even close...

12

looks like something out of ridgeracer, and I don't mean in a good way.

13

Myself: Hey, what are all these holes?



BenSopra: These are speed holes. They make the car go faster.



Myself: Oh, yeah. Speed holes!





Not bad looking and but im just wondering if all those holes and vents actually help anything performance wise. Aesthetically is anyones guess.

14

Like everything , except the wing , awful emplacement /rig ...

15

BUGATTI WHO ???

16

Another misuse of 'JDM'??

a japanese domestic market brute...

17

Looks like a Gundam or something, very interesting...

18

JAW DROPPED...

19

What an awesome car! I checked out their site too, I'm excited to see what they do from here on!

20

Love it ! should comes as standard !

21

i am in love

22

looks insane!!!!! and upwards of 1000hp?! :O



btw im sure you meant Lamborghini and the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon on Friday the 13th of January.

23

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

24

Holy mother of God... That looks amazing

25

Really amazing!if i was a rich man i would order one!

26

wow.. its got it going on under the bonnet then? i do like the aggressive styling of the wide-body kit, it is a little OTT from some angles and that rear spoiler seems overly large but yes i do like what i see.. the brakes look small for a 1000hp powerhouse like this tho' - Thanks.

27

We think it's amazing. O_O Sooo much downforce...

28

So obviously the bodywork is getting produced by 6666 Customs, is that right?

29

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Godzilla on steroids!!! :O

Can't wait to see the real thing!

31

Looks great with racing livery, but really looks a bit too fast&furious in "street look"...

32

EVIL DOWN RIGHT WICKED!!!!! FINELY SOME ONE WHOS NOT AFRAID TO MAKE A REAL MONSTER AKA A REAL GODZILA!!!!!!



side exit exhausts? being droped on Friday the 13th of January? some real o.g.s this shop be!

and i think the wing looks sick and with a1000.hp's in the works perfict for the downforce this beast is gonna need.

33

really impressive.. but i agree with nick that rear wing really needs a new design makeover. other than that, the gtr r35 was always a superb performer.. now they'r just making it legendary. gonna be a superSUPERcar

34

Oooh, look at that last shot. It has a "surfline" in front of the rear wheel. Cool!

35

What's the story with the 6666 sticker on the white rendering? Are these guys somehow related to TraKyoto?

36

I sensed some Raugh Welt flare in the rear fender.

37

Great news and great car. I wish the best to Ben Sopra.

Quick question: is the car photoshopped? Where was the picture taken? At first it looks like St. Mark's Square in Venice, but the cobblestone are not present in St. Mark's Square.

38

I always wonder where people like 2xthefun draw their happiness.. How can you look at something and think "eh, could be better" ANYTHING could theoretically be improved, but the fact is we live in a practical world, not one of theory.



That said, this tuning house has great plans in store for the GTR.. Their Gallardo is much more subtle but it has a nice sharp look to it. The GTR looks like an offshoot of JGTC, LM, and touring cars! A hearty blend and not too extreme. Best of luck to them in the execution, this car will turn a lot of heads

39

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

40

Really...really wild design that flows very well. I love the GT cues all over the car. Looking forward to more updates. More projects like this will help the economy!! Thanks for sharing!

42

This car is sick. That has to be the best wide body i've ever seen. The thing is crazyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

43

It looks like it was designed by someone with no taste and all they had was need for speed underground 2 body kits!!!! Sad!!!

45

I love it!

46

they got some brave designers, very strong to say the least.. congrats!

47

solidworks?

48

i jizzed in my pants!!! :))))

49

wow! the wing also has another purpose.... a tow hook

50

Thats love at first bite. Like a vampire on 20s

51

This car is sick. That has to be the best wide body i've ever seen. The thing is crazyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

52

weird.....

53

very original! i love it. easily my favorite R35 look.

54

the front end kinda reminds me of Smokey's Top Secret Supra from a while back. this is still cool tho ;)

55

looks great, im also wondering if trakyoto did the design for them?! cant wait to see pics of the actual car!

56

Its funny that they are getting photos from Gran Turismo 5 AND NOT THE HORRIDLY AWFUL NEED FOR SPEED SHIT UNLEASHED. I mean they are pretty arrogant to not even mention that just because they are partners with nfs

57

the wildness of the kit is perfectly at home on the GTR..not many cars would be able to pull off such a look but then again not many cars are GTRs

58

that spoiler mounting is sucks !!!!

59

I think it's pretty sick.

60

its walking that fine line...

61

This is terrible looking. It's like they pulled styling ques from every exotic and tried to put them on a GT-R excepted they did a poor job of it. The only thing that could make it worse is to install pagani huayra rear view mirrors on the fenders. This is a poor example of improving a cars looks. All the body lines are out of sync with the panels. The rear overfenders are goody; just an epic fail.



Oh well to each their own.

62

The stock GTR is pretty wide at the back. This one seems to push the rear wheels out another 4-6 inches, which would put it in Hummer territory for width. Will probably corner like a steamroller.

63

looks like my gilette razor on wheels. not my favorite body kit, but what's under the hood is more important and has yet to be seen by our unworthy eyes...

64

"I sensed some Raugh Welt flare in the rear fender." - you need to get out more, the fact its a bolt on wide guard is the only similarity.

65

extreme agresive!!!!!
