We announced earlier (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/25/nissan-to-debut-gt-r-in-japans-super-gt-series/) that Nissan would be running the GT-R in the GT500 class of the SUPER GT series in Japan for 2008. At that time, we didn't have any photos for you, but a few (five, actually) have finally surfaced of the race car testing at Suzuka. The widened body, massive rear wing, and heavily vented hood make it that much meaner looking than the street version. Click the image above or select an image below to view the gallery.
