Takumi - The Master Craftsmen behind the legendary GTR

27 Jul 2013

4,610 views

We have been told of AMG's 'one man one engine' philosophy but they aren't alone in this. Meet Takumi - the Master Craftsmen behind the legendary GTR.



We have been introduced to AMG's (the performance arm and tuning division of Mercedes-Benz) 'One man, one engine' philosophy. But they are not alone in the industry to adopt such practice.

Japanese automaker Nissan adopts a similar ideology in the construction of their halo car - the Nissan GTR. And it seems they have more stringent guidelines than their German rivals - only four handpicked Master Craftsmen (or Takumi) are responsible in putting together the GTR's heart.

And Nissan has specially prepared a 'behind-the-scene' video to shed more light onto this concept.
