This 2010 Nissan GT-R Got A Crazy Off-Road Makeover

Some builds are meant to stay on paper - but not this one. Inspired by off-road versions of the 911 and the Sterrato, someone decided the GT-R shouldn’t just stick to pavement. They took a 2010 R35 and transformed it into a bold, dirt-ready experiment that’s part supercar, part adventure machine.

The starting point is a 2010 Nissan GT-R, but it doesn’t look anything like one anymore. The car now wears bolt-on fender flares, roof rails, and extra LED lights mounted on the front bumper and across the roof. The biggest change, though, is the ride height. The suspension has been lifted by a massive 4.7 inches, thanks to modified springs that give the GT-R a surprisingly tall stance.

The wheels remain the original seven-spoke alloys, but they’re now fitted with beefy all-terrain tires. There’s even a full-size spare strapped to the roof, just in case things get rough. With Nissan’s Attesa ET-S all-wheel-drive system still doing its thing and the added ground clearance, this GT-R should have no problem dealing with gravel roads or dirt tracks.

Despite the rugged makeover, performance hasn’t been sacrificed. Under the hood sits the familiar twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6, tuned to deliver 600 horsepower. That’s the same output you’d get from the most powerful GT-R Nismo, so it’s still very much a monster in a straight line.

Mileage is another interesting detail. The car has covered 54,237 km, or about 33,700 miles, which is fairly low for a 15-year-old performance car.

This unusual GT-R is currently up for sale in the Netherlands through dealer Prins, with an asking price of €99,500, roughly $117,000. That puts it above what a clean, standard GT-R from the same year would typically cost. While the condition and mileage are solid, the price might explain why this one-off creation hasn’t exactly flown out the door.

Some enthusiasts might recognize the car. It was already on the market back in 2020, back then wearing a camouflage-style wrap that has since been removed. Over the last five years, it’s only added around 7,700 km, or 4,800 miles. During that time, it’s popped up for sale more than once.

According to local pricing tracker AutoUncle, the same GT-R had previously been listed with another dealer for over 1,000 days, nearly three years. The current listing has been active for about 137 days.
