Boost.

Since my memory card reader trashed all the photos I took of my car yesterday, I went out and took more today. Interesting little spot I found...

Taken with a Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens
Love the composition

What is that and why does it have a Nissan R badge on it?

@eyebrows It's a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (hence the factory badging with the red R) with a fully built engine, huge turbo, and a standalone engine management system.

I got all tingly then. Mmm, cars. Shall have to have a search for this "Sentra" and find out what it correlates to in the UK/Japan

Do you have Skylines over there? Maybe it's what we'd call a Skyline...

@eyebrows The Sentra is just a saloon car, whilst the Spec V version of the Sentra is a more specialized edition tailored towards a more 'racing' environment/feel overall. The front fascia is somewhat influenced by the Skyline design. And many allude the V-Spec version of the GT-R has certainly a word play on how the "Spec V" title came about, or associating it to be a faster, ultimate version.

We have the new Skyline's (R35) here in the US, but as far as the older generation (i.e. R33/4) they have to be imported. Recently, they have become outlawed altogether (to be hunted down, impounded/confiscated and destroyed), as the government perceives them to be a great threat to our homeland security.

Great picture btw! :D
