Godzilla has just got chunkier thanks to a crazy widebody kit.
The Nissan GT-R has had the nickname “Godzilla” ever since we first saw it back in the late 2000s. It’s a fantastic sports car, and certainly the true successor to the Nissan Skyline, even if it doesn’t use the same name. However, there are ways in which the car can get even more interesting and wild. Talented digital car renderer Rostislav Prokop has crafted this epic rendering of the GT-R that he has called the Nissan GT-R RP-M Edition. And Godzilla has just got chunkier thanks to a crazy widebody kit.
The details around this GT-R rendering are truly fantastic. Let's start at the front of the car. The front sees a huge splitter present, protruding out much more noticeably than the front end of the standard car. The front fascia is pleasingly still the same. Around the front wheels are some much bigger fenders, and the new black wheels really do add an extra layer of JDM to the car. Behind the front fenders is a big winglet, helping to direct airflow down the side of the car.

The car is clearly a lot lower to the ground, and the widebody changes carry on across the car. The side features extra skirts, with the winglet behind the front wheels preceding one ahead of the rear wheels and their fenders. This will all aid airflow across the car to try to add a bit more performance and downforce to the GT-R. Things start to get a bit more radical at the back of the car too. Another piece of aerodynamic bodywork is present on the rear quarter panel, with a panel at the bottom of that rear quarter potentially adding more performance.

No crazy widebody rendering would be complete without a rear diffuser modification. And this car is no exception. The GT-R now has a very big diffuser at the back with some aggressive strakes, but that’s not all that’s changed at the rear. The car has definitely got some extra girth at the back, with extra paneling around the sides and a slightly different rear fascia. Overall, though, Prokop has very much kept the ethos and the soul of the GT-R the same, which is absolutely key. This certainly adds another element to the term Godzilla for the GT-R.
