An American Japanese in Tokyo

Remember HKS’s awesome all carbon body EVO that Nob Taniguchi crashed a few years back?Well its fixed and ready to fight again, one of Japans most awesome time attack cars and our Super Lap Battle record holder
 

 

HKS is producing a street version of this car, the CT200MR, it looks really cool.  I wonder if that body kit will be available from HKS USA?

The to die for 3.7 liter version of the VQ motor in the car is perhaps something to settle the rumors that the upcoming GTR and perhaps the 2009 350Z replacement will displace 3.7 liters.  The increase in displacement comes from stroking the motor.
