OVERVIEW
The R35 GT-R is already an automotive icon and a great benchmark for a high-performance sports car. However, this 2009 example goes far beyond the original Godzilla recipe. This GT-R was a brand new US spec vehicle in premium trim initially imported by Al Masaood, the Nissan dealer in Abu Dhabi. The first owner later commissioned the AMS Alpha 16XR build at F Performance Dubai, which was completed in April 2021. The transmission was also rebuilt at F Performance in October 2021. In addition, the first owner also had the vehicle repainted to gloss black.
Since then, the second and current owner has owned this GT-R for a year. The car was also recently serviced at Downshift Autoservices in Abu Dhabi. You may have to recall another one of F Performance’s cars on The Grand Tour. They built the1900 hp Nissan Patrol that drag-raced and won against a Porsche 918 Spyder driven by Richard Hammond.
Service History
Records confirm full dealer service history, and the last recorded service was undertaken on 09 October 2022 at 15,838 miles at Downshift Auto Service. Some of the invoices from the build by F Performance are also available in the History Report.
