At this point, I pretty much speechless. I am not a huge fan of hillclimb races, but I do know what a typical hillclimb race car look like. It is probably ground hugging, has more power than any car needs, and has huge-ass wing. However, nothing that I know about hillclimb race cars could have prepared me for this: Franco Scribante Racing Hillclimb GTR. This thing is monstrous – both in power and in wings, AKA spoilers. Yes. That’s plural for wings because, this beast here has two of them and both of them are enormous. Like seriously and ridiculously enormous.

Nissan Brought An Altima With Tracks To Montreal Auto Show
Here’s a Nissan Altima, but as you can see, it is not the run-of-the-mill Altima. It has heavy-duty track system in place of wheels. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially Nissan fans because, turning its cars into a powdered ground-tearing beast with tracks wasn’t new. I believe it started with Nissan Rouge back in 2016 for the Montreal Auto Show and then, Nissan followed up with a track 370Z, unveiled at the Chicago Motor Show, in 2018.

With I2V, you will be able to ‘see’ those vehicles or people as virtual objects on a special eyewear you wear when you drive.

Here’s A Prove That Loud Cars Always Get Unwanted Attentions
Here’s a video of a Nissan GT-R that purportedly has 1850HP under the hood being pull over by a police officer. Now, there was no explanation as to why it was pulled in, then again, looking that the massive, wider-than-its-body rear wing, we can only speculate that mods were the issues – specifically, the wing. The ride is super low too and has flared fenders which looks like a wide body kit. Is this the most beautiful Nissan GT-R we have seen? Nope. Certainly not.
