Nissan Trolls Ferrari, Offers Deadmau5 Nyan Cat GT-R
If you are into music, you probably know who Deadmau5 is. I’m not a big fan of his music, but I did like his Nyan Cat Ferrari. Ferrari took issue with how that car was clad and eventually, Deadmau5 ditched the Purrari. Nissan recently trolled the crap out of Ferrari with a pot offering Deadmau5 a Nyan Cat GT-R.
The GT-R isn’t that much slower than the Ferrari the musician had before, and I will admit it looks really cool with a Nyan Cat wrap on it. The part that Ferrari’s lawyers didn’t like were the custom emblems on the 458 Italia owned by Deadmau5 that said “Purrari.” Really?
Hey @deadmau5, heard what happened to your car. Good news? We found a replacement, ready right meow. #GTR pic.twitter.com/c6NRmOr3Nv

The car has a special logo under the GT-R that adds a tiny Deadmau5 mouse head logo. I think they should do this for sure, the car is apparently a Photoshop job, but the potential is there. I bet if Deadmau5 showed interest, Nissan would make it happen.

2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo: Mo Power, Handling and Speed
I’ve always been a fan of factory-modified cars (meaning that all mods are under warranty) – especially when they blow away more expensive, luxury sports cars. I love cars like the Subaru WRX STi and the Nissan GT-R. Naturally, the GT-R is quite a bit pricier, but this new version promises to surpass the performance of million-dollar rides. Are you up for it?
The Nissan GT-R Nismo comes with a tweaked 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine that produces 591hp and 481 pound-feet of torque. It will offer a racing suspension, a more rigid body, and improved aerodynamics, allowing it to perform extremely well in most conditions. Its Recaro racing seats come decked out in carbon fiber, and you’ll find Alcantara leather all over the place.
For now, prices haven’t been announced, but rumors say that you’ll pay roughly 50% more than what you’d spend on the standard GT-R. There will be only 200 GT-R Nismos made for the 2015 model year.
