This is a 2021 Nissan GT-R fitted with a Liberty Walk bodykit. First, let's talk about the car and then the kit.

The Nissan GT-R is Nissan's flagship sports car, produced since 2007. Designed by Shiro Nakamura, Hirohisa Ono, Akira Nishimura and Hiroshi Hasegawa, the GT-R acts as the logical successor to the Skyline GT-R lineage. Built on what is known as the Premium Midship platform, the GT-R is powered by a 3.8L VR38DETT twin-turbocharged V6, putting power to all fours via the ATESSA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system; this is mated to a 6-speed BorgWarner GR6Z30A dual clutch. Numerous facelifts have been made to the car over its lifespan.

The kit is officially titled "LB-Silhouette WORKS GT 35GT-RR VER.2". It is manufactured by Liberty Walk as the name suggested and from what I mentioned earlier. It consists of a front bumper, canards and diffuser, a "new style" silhouette rear wing (whatever that's supposed to mean), wide fenders, wide side skirts and a new hood and trunk. Prices for this kit start between ¥3.465 million (about USD 34,020 in 2021 money). There is also a VER.1 kit with a slightly different configuration.

Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2021 in the HW J-Imports Series as the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Nissan 35GT-RR VER.2... is the longest name of any Hot Wheels car I know of. This casting has seen five known releases, the last being this one in a Team Transport set.
