Konigseder Nissan GT-R

Austria has given the world majesty in spades - Mozart, the historic city of Salzburg, Wiener Schnitzels and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to name a few.

Wanting to capitalise on its nation's poetic cultural contribution, Austrian tuner Konigseder has blasphemed against the Japanese car gods and tuned the untouchable Nissan GT-R.

With more self-tan than a trip to Cheshire and enough horsepower to make even Arnie terminate his citizenship, the GT-R is now both very orange, and very powerful - to the tune of 572bhp.

Konigseder has installed a revised ECU, a new air filter and titanium exhaust, together with a new bodykit, KW suspension, 21-inch wheels and the cataract-clearing hue you see before you.

The Austrian tuning outfit reckons its new radioactive GT-R will hit 124mph (200km/h) in just 9.8 seconds. Which - to you and me - is a big orange blur. Like a supersonic chunk of vomit smeared across the autobahn.
