Nissan Trolls The 'Purrari'

Here at XS Automotive, we love EDM (electronic dance music) almost as much as we love cars. Many of you may know the popular DJ by the name of Deadmau5, but what about his car? Well Deadmau5 used to drive a custom Ferrari Italia 458 with the iconic and rather infamous Nyan Cat as the theme. Check it out!

We say he "used" to drive it because, well, Ferrari didn't like it. They sent the DJ a "cease and desist" letter issuing him to restore the 458 back to its original condition. People believe that when you purchase a Ferrari, you purchase a privilege to drive and own a Ferrari in which you should appreciate the car as is. Well as you can see, the car had a custom wrap as well as floor mats and badges, not to mention the custom license plate that read "Purrari". 

Deadmau5 ended up changing his one of a kind Ferrari back to stock, but as soon as Nissan heard about the incident, they jumped at an opportunity to make a custom GT-R for Deadmau5. They even tweeted him some PhotoShopped images  and let him know that he could very well have the custom GT-R "right meow". 

The GT-R was the perfect car to be offered to Deadmau5 by Nissan. Why? Well do you remember when the GT-R was put to the test by various other supercars? Remarkably, the GT-R pulled ahead of all the other cars, which included, the Lexus LFA, Italia 458, Porsche GT3 RS, Audi R8 GT and even the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG along with some other notable cars.

The offer is still up to Deadmau5 and Nissan is curious to see what he decides. We're curious too of course! What do you think though, Was this a smart move for Nissan to go troll Ferrari? And what do you think Deadmau5 should do? We want to hear your opinion.
