These two R35 GT Rs were getting plenty of attention at the weekend. Both have clearly had a lot of time, money and effort invested in them, with some serious upgrades. One has been prepared by Litchfield, while the other was sitting perfectly on a set of NISMO alloys.

Kind of surprising it took this long. They'd already done the R32, R35, ER34, and S15, and the R33 was the obvious hole in the lineup. Now there's an LB-Silhouette WORKS GT for the BCNR33.

It's a full FRP conversion, not a bolt-on, and apparently engineered road-legal. Reworked front end, huge flared arches with functional venturi ducting, and the usual towering Silhouette wing out back. Wataru Kato did the design. Production is limited to 33 units, which is a cute nod to the chassis code.

What we find interesting is that the R33 spent years being the "awkward middle child" GT-R and now it's getting the collector treatment as clean examples climb in value.

Do you think this actually reshapes how people see the R33, or is a 33-unit kit too rare to move the needle on the chassis overall?

I've just seen this 2025 GT-R Track Edition with just 43 km (27 miles) on the clock.

It's an S Grade car, so effectively a brand new delivery mileage example and the inspection sheet is completely clean. I've included the underbody shot to show what you'd expect to see when buying a brand new GT-R from auction.

The starting price is ¥16.5 million but I'd be amazed if it doesn't end up somewhere around ¥18.8 to 19.2 million (£86k to 88k).

I can't imagine there are many opportunities left to buy one that's essentially brand new.

What do you think this one will hammer for, let me know in the comments?

Spotted this incredible GT R Nismo Nürburgring Edition at Donington Park recently. From what I was told by the owner, it’s been fully prepared by Litchfield and is making well over 1000 bhp.

The attention to detail was on another level and it looked absolutely at home on circuit. Cars like this are a reminder of just how capable the R35 platform is when it’s built properly.

Glad he is on the right path.
