Unbelievably, this thing started life as an R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R before Liberty Walk got its hands on it.
It forms part of the noted Japanese tuner’s new $29,260 (around P1.7 million) package that includes almost every exterior panel and bolt-on you see in the pictures here. Yes, that includes the ridiculously flared arches, sharp splitters, and tall rear wing.

Wondering why this outrageous bodykit looks so familiar? Liberty Walk said it takes its inspiration from Japan’s Super Silhouette series. It was a competition with minimal regulations, where manufacturers took their everyday, run-of-the-mill family sedans and gave them audacious bodykits and, in some instances, as much as 600hp. At a time when the average ‘fast’ road car produced no more than a quarter of that.
The series was canned in 1983, six years before the R32 entered production, so the two worlds never collided...until now. What do we think, folks—yay or nay for Liberty Walk’s latest foray?
