KUHL firstly took a standard Nissan GT-R and created a fibreglass bodykit. The bodykit was then hand engraved in painstakingly intricate detail, before being given a chrome finish and then finally being painted gold. The impressive \u201c3D Ultimate Engraving Metal paint\u201d paintjob was carried out by Artis.KUHL didn\u2019t stop there though, if you can see past the dazzling exterior (and that might be hard to do), then you will be rewarded with a tuned V6 twin-turbo, 3.8 litre engine which, KUHL say, gives out a whopping 820 in horsepower!It\u2019s not the first time KUHL Racing have come up with something like this, having shown a silver custom engraved Nissan R35 GT-R at the 2015 Tokyo International Custom Car Contest. The 2015 car featured alloys from Work Wheels, while Love Lark supplied the wide body Aero Monster kit and Blitz contributed with some performance tweaks \u2013 fine work all round.The 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon was the lucky recipient of this gold custom GT-R\u2019s debut show – and thanks to social media, the car has now gone viral. Hopefully, there will be many more opportunities to see the Artisizawa Project\/KUHL Racing Nissan GT-R in the flesh in the forthcoming year. Images: motortorque.org, kuhl-racing.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tunedmodified","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/tunedmodified\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"KUHL Racing Go For Gold","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/tunedmodified\/kuhl-racing-go-for-gold\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
