We thought that Nissan was in the ‘considering’ stage where Targa Tasmania was concerned, something that they notoriously never get past.

Apparently, we’re wrong according to the JDM car lovers over a JPCN. Nissan is actually bringing their new weapon to the event, and we couldn’t be happier. In an event dominated by various flavours of Porsche weapons, the new GT-R (may we remind you this is a car that used Porsches as a benchmark for GT-R development?) will be a welcome runner in the event and a big publicity move for Nissan.

The GT-R will be piloted by Tony Alford and will be painted in pink, of all colours, a nod towards Alford’s major sponsor, Donut King. Though we heartily wish that nod was more a wink (say, a pink steering wheel?) it will be fantastic to see the GT-R finally land Down Under at the Targa next year.

Next stop, a triumphant return to Bathurst for some much deserved Ford and Holden� bashing!
