Nissan trolls Ferrari by offering Deadmau5 a replacement for his "Purrari"

Deadmau5, the acclaimed Canadian DJ responsible for hits like "Ghosts N Stuff" and "Raise Your Weapons," famously wrapped his Ferrari 458 Spider in his trademark Nyan cat theme. No biggie, right? It is his car, after all.

Ferrari, however, disagreed, sending a cease-and-desist letter demanding the wrap be removed due to logo infringements; Deadmau5, whose real name is Joel Zimmerman, reluctantly obliged and is reportedly now selling the car.

Nissan sensed a PR opportunity, trolling Ferrari via twitter by offering the electronic artist a Nyan cat-wrapped GT-R as a replacement to the macine he dubbed "Purrari." So, in a weird twist, it's Godzilla to the rescue.
