Well, the STILLEN GT-R has made it across the country, and is currently settled in Maine, awaiting Steve Millen‘s arrival to drive it the rest of the way into Newfoundland for the Targa Rally. The FedEx Transporter delivered as promised, and everything arrived safe and sound, and ready for action.
We thought this would be a perfect time to introduce you to the STILLEN GT-R as it exists prepped for the Targa Newfoundland, with the full rally preparation finished. We also played with some of the testing footage, and as you’ll see below, this transformed GT-R is something to see.
After months of tearing down, shaving weight, developing new products, building and testing the GT-R, Steve Millen deemed it worthy and on the transporter it went. The Targa Rally introduces some very unqiue requirements of a car, it’s not the normal smooth racetrack most race cars are set up for. The Targa events are extremely demanding, covering city roads, vast landscapes, and varying road conditions (imagine the roads in your town). Pot holes, dips, asphalt issues, gravel, sand, water, mud.. all common throughout the course.
All of these obstacles require a very balanced car, capable of dealing with anything, and a driver experienced enough to push it beyond its limits. Meet the STILLEN R35 Nissan GT-R as prepped for the 2009 Targa Newfoundland Rally:
