Nissan GT-R
When legendary GT-R tuner Litchfield set out to build the ultimate R35, budgets, limitations and convention were left behind.
The result is this.
A bespoke LM1 RS development car built for Iain Litchfield himself, meticulously engineered to deliver over 1,056 horsepower while retaining the usability, refinement and reliability expected from the world’s most respected GT-R specialist.
Finished in stunning Vermillion Red this is far more than a modified GT-R.
It is a piece of modern performance-car history.
Built Without Compromise
Every component was selected with a singular objective:
Create the ultimate road-going GT-R.
From its hand-built LM1 RS engine to its motorsport-derived drivetrain, braking system and suspension package, every detail has been developed, tested and refined by Litchfield’s engineering team.
Performance Highlights
- 1,056 BHP Litchfield LM1 RS specification
- Hand-built VR38DETT 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6
- Twin BorgWarner EFR 7163 turbochargers
- LM race intercooler and intake system
- Dodson Motorsport Stage 4 gearbox upgrades
- Dodson Superstock clutch
- Quaife torque-biasing differentials
- 200+ mph capability
- 6-speed dual-clutch transmission
This is not a collection of aftermarket parts.
This is a complete engineering package developed by the UK’s most respected GT-R authority.
Motosport DNA
The cabin blends race-car intent with premium craftsmanship.
A full weld-in GT3 roll cage replaces the rear seating area, while custom Alcantara trim, carbon fibre detailing and Recaro Sportster CS Performance Edition seats create an environment unlike any production GT-R.
Features include:
- Recaro Sportster CS Performance Edition seats
- Extensive carbon fibre interior package
- Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel
- Custom black and red interior theme
- GT3-style roll cage integration
Every touchpoint reinforces the purpose of the build.
Focused. Functional. Exceptional.
Carbon Fibre Everywhere
The visual presence of this GT-R is as remarkable as its performance.
Carbon fibre extends across virtually every major body component, including:
- Roof
- Bonnet
- Front wings
- Doors
- Boot lid
- Rear spoiler
- Front splitter
- Side skirts
- Diffuser
- Mirror housings
- Underbody aero components
Combined with the Vermillion Red finish and signature Litchfield graphics, the result is unmistakable.
Aggressive without being excessive.
Engineered To Stop. Engineered To Corner.
Power means nothing without control.
This GT-R benefits from a one-off Alcon braking package derived from GT3 competition cars, featuring massive 400mm discs and CNC-machined calipers.
Suspension duties are handled by Litchfield’s Bilstein Dampronic system with bespoke Eibach springs, delivering remarkable road compliance alongside track-ready capability.
Complementing the setup are lightweight HRE Performance forged wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
The Story
Some cars are built to impress.
Others are built to demonstrate what is possible.
This GT-R was created as the flagship demonstration vehicle for Litchfield’s engineering capabilities and showcased publicly at the Autosport Show.
The extensive history file documents the original build, subsequent development and later engine upgrades throughout its life.
Recreating a vehicle of this specification today would require an investment well into six figures.
Finding another example with this provenance is virtually impossible.
