The GT-R Body Kit from Varis, known as the Kamikaze-R Super Sonic Ver.2, is a statement piece for those who live for the details. First revealed on the HKS Technical Factory demo car at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, it immediately captured attention for its wild, functional design. Built for the CBA-R35 and DBA-R35 platforms, the Kamikaze-R Ver.2 GT-R Body Kit transforms Nissan’s flagship supercar into a sharper, wider, and more capable machine, optimized for track aggression and street authority.
This isn’t a GT-R Body Kit for looks alone. The Varis Kamikaze-R Super Sonic Ver.2 was engineered with purpose, sculpted to optimize airflow and cooling efficiency while expanding trackwidth for better cornering stability. Its aerodynamic architecture channels air through functional vents, diffusers, and shrouds that minimize turbulence and maximize downforce. The result is an R35 that feels more planted at high speeds and more composed when pushed to its limits.
Constructed from a mix of FRP, Carbon, and Varis Semi-Dry Carbon (VSDC), the GT-R Body Kit strikes an ideal balance between strength and lightweight efficiency. The revised body profile gives the car a wider stance, improved brake cooling, and a sharper visual edge that hints at the racing DNA underneath.
Varis operates from Kanagawa prefecture, near Mount Fuji, where its craftsmen have honed the art of carbon and composite construction for over forty years. The brand’s reputation was built in the crucible of Japanese motorsport, contributing to top-tier series like Super GT and Super Taikyu. That racing pedigree is infused into every Kamikaze-R component, where performance function and artistic craftsmanship exist in perfect balance.
Each Varis panel is handmade, inspected, and finished with precision. The carbon elements arrive gel-coated and are best protected with a UV-resistant clear coat or paint protection film to ensure longevity and luster. Varis treats every component as an extension of its motorsport heritage, combining discipline with artistic flair to achieve a look that is as functional as it is beautiful.
The Kamikaze-R Super Sonic Ver.2 GT-R Body Kit is a complete aerodynamic package designed to redefine the R35’s character. It features a front bumper Ver.2 with an integrated diffuser crafted from FRP and Varis Semi-Dry Carbon (VSDC), complemented by front fenders with carbon extension covers that emphasize width and aggression. At the rear, the bumper and under skirt continue the FRP and carbon construction theme, while the wide rear fender kit enhances stance and stability. Carbon side air panels and side skirts with large underboards flow seamlessly into the body lines, supported by wide carbon air shrouds that improve airflow and cooling efficiency.
For those seeking a fully optimized setup, Varis offers additional options, including the Big Canard Ver.2, Cooling Bonnet Ver.2, GT-Wing for Racing, Lightweight Trunk, and Long Vertical Fin Ver.2. Each element can be integrated to form a cohesive aerodynamic system tailored to performance goals. While the GT-R body kit is engineered for Japanese-spec GT-R models, international applications may require a slight modification to the OEM crash bar assembly for a precise fit.
The Kamikaze-R Super Sonic Ver.2 stands as a true reflection of precision and intent. Every contour of its design serves a purpose, channeling airflow and enhancing performance while commanding presence from every angle. The R35 takes on a wider, sharper, and more aggressive form, showcasing the unmistakable craftsmanship and motorsport pedigree that define Varis.
For enthusiasts seeking a balance between aesthetic dominance and legitimate aerodynamic function, this kit captures the essence of Japan’s elite tuning culture. It’s not about excess; it’s about refinement, control, and the pursuit of perfection at speed.
The Varis Kamikaze-R Super Sonic Ver.2 GT-R Body Kit is available through Bulletproof Automotive, the exclusive North American distributor for authentic Varis products. Each kit can be configured with custom carbon options and paired with additional Varis aerodynamic components to complete the transformation of your R35 GT-R.
