WHATTA RIDE!
According to Mercedes, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Racing Series was designed to compete in Gran Turismo 6’s “competitive racing scene.” As far as performance goes, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Racing Series is powered by a 5.5-liter, twin-turbo, V-8 engine that produces an impressive 591 horsepower and connected to a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission. No performance numbers were given, but seeing as the car only weighs 2,866 pounds, it should be good for at least 200 mph.

As the old adage goes, “because they can.” But the GT-R remains a relative bargain, given its supercar-slaying capabilities, and Nissan has subjected its halo car to numerous upgrades throughout its run. Here is an inventory, in no way conclusive, of the improvements brought to bear on the car known as Godzilla.

ROOM INSPIRATION: BOY’S NURSERY
A dark blue accent wall and white, gold and gray circle decals give the illusion of a starry sky in this nursery. The homeowners wanted a look that would be appropriate as their little boy grew, and a solar system theme was born. A must for the nursery: a truly comfortable rocker. Noting that tired new parents often have their hands full, the designers made sure to include an occasional table within reach and an ottoman.
