GTR front camera ?

Was there an option for a front camera that I missed for the GTR ?
Front spolier catching curbs ...

No front camera option unfortunately. Best to back in I’ve found whenever possible.

I’m extra careful around curbs and parking blocks. The hood is long and more difficult to gauge distance. Best to allot for a wide berth.

Thx guys ! I am extra careful ... scratch a little the front carbon fiber lip.
Fortunately, pretty much underneath the lip ....and there was film wrap ...I bought a heat gun and shrunk the shredded film.

You will get used to it. Your R8 is much easier to navigate up front with the mid-engine set up.

In the Nissan GTR community a talented owner developed a kit for a front camera to operate seemlessly with the car. I’ll research that and report if I find anything useful.

I know it adds a bit of weight but I hope MB will use the 360 system in other cars in the refresh of the GT. The sensors do work most of the time in the front to let me know how close I am to the concrete stopper.
