Driving a semi truck in the snowy mountains of Europe is not an easy task. While truck drivers can sometimes benefit from towing when driving on steel-inclined roads, it is really hard to imagine being towed by a Nissan GT-R. Yet, this is exactly what happened to a Volvo FH driver from Bosnia that got much-needed help from a tuned Godzilla.
The video was uploaded on YouTube by @schaefchen. The GT-R owner claimed that the truck driver was struggling to get up the mountain so he decided to provide a helping hand, or more fittingly a helping wheel – or four.

The clip shows the wrapped GT-R pulling the Volvo truck on the snowy road using a yellow strap. The Japanese sportscar is sliding around trying to find traction and appears to offer some sort of assistance in combination with the truck doing its best to climb the mountain. Some would say that this was an attention-grabbing stunt since the GT-R is not rated for suck heavy towing, but we would like to believe that the truck driver benefited from the extra horses at the front.
The pictured Nissan GT-R is tuned by Madisma Performance which means it has higher power and torque figures than the stock model. The tuner offers upgrades up to 1,000 hp for the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 which produces up to 592 hp (441 kW / 600 PS) and 652 Nm (481 lb-ft) of torque in the stock GT-R Nismo.
Despite being unveiled back in 2007, the R35 GT-R remains one of the most popular vehicles on social media thanks to its heritage and tuning potential. Thankfully, since the R35 is more than 14 years old, having launched in Japan in 2007, Nissan is working on a new generation of the GT-R that could reportedly come with a hybridized V6.
