Nissan GT-R NISMO gets new Special Edition

The continuous evolution of the Nissan GT-R NISMO takes another step forward with the addition of a new Special Edition, which has been revealed Yokohama, Japan.

The GT-R NISMO Special Edition features a NISMO-exclusive Stealth Grey exterior color, new edition-exclusive 20-inch Rays forged aluminum-alloy wheels with red accents, and a unique clear-coated carbon fibre hood that exposes the intricate carbon fibre weave. For the first time for GT-R, the new Nissan logo adorns the trunk lid and wheel centre caps.

A very limited number of the new model will be available in North America this fall. Pricing for the GT-R NISMO Special Edition will be announced at a later date.

The GT-R NISMO remains Nissan's ultimate performance super sports car that provides race-proven technology and an exhilarating driving experience for virtually everyone.

The GT-R NISMO's 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 remains the heart of the GT-R's drivetrain and is rated at 592bhp and 652Nm of torque. The GT-R NISMO Special Edition utilises high-precision, weight-balanced parts for the piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, and valve gear components dialed in with tighter tolerances, delivering snappier engine revs and quicker turbo spooling.

Each engine is hand-assembled from beginning to end in a special clean room by master technicians known as a Takumi. Just as great artists sign their work, so do the Takumi, with a special aluminium Takumi certification plate in a Special Edition-exclusive colour on the front of each engine.
