Of course that doesn't mean California born model Melisa Grace has abandoned her day job, hence the second video in which she poses on the left seat of a 1,300-horsepower Nissan GT-R for the eyes of HighTechCorvette's YouTube subscribers.

Ogle your way through the jump to watch the videos.

Check Out Former F1 Driver Mika Salo Drifting a 700HP Nissan 200SX

Proving that Formula One drivers can make the cut in most types of motorsports even in their after-years, former Finnish racing driver Mika Juhani Salo sat behind the wheel of a Nissan 200SX drift car.

The GT2 class winner of the 2008 and 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans had no problem harnessing the 700-horses (and 850Nm) found under the hood of the 1999 Nissan S14 coupe.

Watch him in action at Ahvenisto race circuit in Hämeenlinna, Finland, in the video that follows after the break.

This one in particular is said to be inspired from German jet fighters and is distinguished by the attention to details, right up to a certain sign of an equilateral cross that appears on the rear bumper and front fenders – more commonly known as the Swastika, the most hated and prominent symbol of Nazi Germany.

Something tells us the owner of the car won't be making a lot of friends…
