What's Happening?
Japanese body-kit specialist Rocket Bunny has introduced a miniature version of the iconic Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R at the Tokyo Auto Salon. This unique creation is based on a Suzuki kei car, featuring
only 27 horsepower, yet it captures the fierce aesthetic of the original R32. The build, which took just two weeks, showcases Rocket Bunny's creativity and is intended to be commercially available as a body kit. The car, described as 'kawaii' or ultra-cutesy, is a tribute to the R32's legacy in touring-car racing, where it earned the nickname 'Godzilla'.
Why It's Important?
This development highlights the ongoing fascination and cultural impact of the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, a vehicle that has become a symbol of Japanese automotive engineering. Rocket Bunny's project not only pays homage to this legacy but also demonstrates the potential for innovation within the automotive customization industry. By creating a commercially viable body kit, Rocket Bunny is tapping into a niche market of car enthusiasts who value both performance and aesthetic appeal. This could lead to increased interest in automotive customization and potentially boost sales for companies specializing in body kits and aftermarket modifications.
