We've checked out literally hundreds of custom car interiors over the years but we don't think there has ever been one with a matching carbon fiver carry bag and a Japanese katana sward. Who's ever going to use those? We can only presume that a hipster samurai with a lumberjack print kimono and overgrown beard.
Jokes aside, we have to take a quick look at the Nissan GT-R red katana special edition, created by the guys at Carlex Design. They shared a lot of photos with us today and managed to impress with their high level of craftsmanship. The once boring cabin of the Japanese supercar has been completely transformed with the help of exotic finishes and bold color combinations.
Leather and alcantara were used in equal measure, while red, black and carbon finishes were chosen for their striking look. Each panel has its own unique features. The seats, for example, have a unique stitching pattern for the centers, red piping for contrast and a touch of carbon for the bolsters The same treatment is also carried over to the roof liner, which is made from alcantara and quilted. The dash has been covered as well, hiding the horrible plastic finish which Nissan is neglecting.
We think the strange pattern was pulled from the handle of the Japanese katana sward, but this is only obvious once you look at the handbrake. One yank of that and the Nissan transports you back in time to the middle of an Edo era sward fight.
The GT-R Red Katana edition only presented itself for an interior makeover once the 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine had been tuned to 700 horsepower. That's mild by Godzilla standards, but Carlex's work more than makes up for that.
