CARBON FIBRE WIDEBODY AERODYNAMIC PROGRAM NISSAN GT-R R35

The Nissan GT-R R35 has one of the most aggressive factory profiles of the modern performance-car era. At VAD Design, however,

we wanted to take that foundation considerably further.

​

Our ethos is simple: leave nothing stock.

The result is the VAD Design Ichiban Carbon Fibre Widebody Aerodynamic Program  an uncompromising R35 conversion developed

around extreme proportions, functional aerodynamic design and premium composite construction.

Rather than creating a widebody purely for visual impact, the Ichiban program has been developed as a complete aerodynamic package,

combining increased track width and dramatic bodywork with carefully considered airflow management.

​

THE ICHIBAN CORE PACKAGE

The comprehensive Ichiban conversion incorporates:

FRONT AERODYNAMICS

Complete carbon fibre front bumper, Aerodynamic front canards, High-downforce front splitter, Integrated front floor section

WIDEBODY FRONT WINGS
Ultra-wide carbon fibre front wings, Integrated functional ventilation, Increased clearance for the wider wheel and tyre configuration

 

SIDE AERODYNAMICS

Sculpted widebody side skirts, Functional ventilation, Designed to integrate seamlessly with the extended front and rear bodywork

 

REAR WIDEBODY

Widebody vented rear quarter panels, Complete carbon fibre rear bumper, Integrated lower exhaust panel, Aggressive rear diffuser

Functional diffuser strakes designed to manage airflow beneath the vehicle, Together, these components create a dramatically wider R35

while maintaining a cohesive aerodynamic relationship from the front splitter through to the rear diffuser.

​

BESPOKE ENHANCEMENTS

The Ichiban program can be further developed around the individual requirements of each build.

​

AERODYNAMICS

Vented Carbon Fibre Bonnet, A lightweight vented carbon fibre bonnet is available to complement the Ichiban front-end package

and further enhance the motorsport-inspired appearance, High-Downforce GT Rear Wing.

A substantial GT-style rear wing can be specified for customers looking for increased rear aerodynamic support and an even

more aggressive track-focused aesthetic.

​

SUSPENSION

Custom-Engineered Coilover System, The Ichiban conversion can be paired with a bespoke coilover suspension specification

developed around the requirements of the ultra-wide track configuration.

Suspension setup can be tailored to the intended use of the vehicle, from fast road applications through to more

track-focused builds.

​

EXHAUST

A selection of high-performance exhaust systems is available, including a motorsport-grade Inconel option for customers seeking

reduced weight, exceptional thermal performance and a more competition-inspired specification.

​

FORGED WHEEL PROGRAM

The Ichiban widebody conversion allows us to offer an equally uncompromising wheel specification.

Our custom three-piece forged wheels are available in 20-inch and 21-inch diameters, with widths extending to 13 inches, depending

on the application and final vehicle specification.

Customers can choose from:

Forged aluminium, Ultra-lightweight forged magnesium, Multiple proprietary wheel designs, Bespoke widths and offsets

Custom finishes and centre-lock or conventional configurations where applicable

Every wheel package is specified around the individual vehicle, suspension setup, bodywork and intended use.
 

EXTREME WIDEBODY FITMENT

The Ichiban platform has been developed to accommodate an exceptionally wide track and substantial wheel and tyre combinations.

A potential extreme specification can incorporate:

Front: 20 × 12-inch wheels with 325/30R20 high-performance tyres

Rear: 20 × 14-inch wheels with 345/30R20 high-performance tyres

Final wheel, tyre, offset and suspension specifications are individually engineered around each vehicle rather than treated as a universal fitment.

BUILT WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The VAD Design Ichiban is more than a cosmetic widebody conversion.

It is a complete R35 design program combining carbon fibre construction, extreme proportions, aerodynamic development,
bespoke suspension and engineered wheel and tyre fitment into one cohesive package.

​

For customers looking to take the Nissan GT-R R35 far beyond its original specification, the Ichiban provides the foundation

for a truly bespoke VAD Design build.
