In the realm of automotive legends, the Nissan R35 GTR stands tall as a modern-day titan, and Larry Chen, a self-proclaimed Nissan Fanboy, had the privilege of bidding farewell to this iconic machine. From his humble beginnings with a 1970 Datsun 240Z to owning an R32 GTR and a meticulously restored R34 GTR, Larry's connection to Nissan runs deep. His journey with the brand culminated in a momentous project to capture the essence of the R35 GTR's final sendoff, a task he approached with reverence and passion.

Venturing back to 2007, Larry vividly recalls the anticipation surrounding the unveiling of the R35 GTR at the Tokyo Motor Show, a pivotal moment that solidified his admiration for Nissan's engineering prowess. Over the years, he forged a close partnership with Nissan, collaborating on various projects, including the launch of the 400Z and its Nismo variant. The meticulous attention to detail and the dedication to showcasing Nissan's vehicles in their best light underscore Larry's commitment to his craft and his genuine love for the brand.

The stage was set at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Nevada, a fitting backdrop for capturing the R35 GTR's swan song. Amidst the challenges of showcasing the cars' unique colors, such as the mesmerizing midnight purple and striking base blue, Larry and his team persevered, ensuring that every detail was meticulously documented. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the scene, the R35 GTRs roared into the distance, marking the end of an era with a poignant and unforgettable visual spectacle. Larry's emotional investment in this project, rooted in his lifelong passion for Nissan and its legendary GTR lineup, shines through in every frame, inspiring fellow enthusiasts to pursue their photographic dreams and capture the essence of automotive excellence.
