Nissan has unveiled two new limited-production special editions for the GT-R called the T-spec Takumi and the Skyline Edition. The special editions pay homage to the storied performance vehicle that has long held an iconic status within the Nissan lineup.
The GT-R T-spec Takumi Edition celebrates the craftsmanship of the takumi master artisans responsible for the hand assembly of each twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine for the GT-R. The car is distinguished from the standard model via its unique Midnight Purple paint shade – a throwback to the Skyline GT-Rs – and Mori Green interior. Additionally, the engine features a red-etched engine badge housing the name of the person assembling the engine and a gold VIN plate.
Furthermore, mirroring the enhancements of the standard 2024 GT-R T-spec, the Takumi Edition incorporates mechanical upgrades, including GT-R NISMO carbon-ceramic brakes, gold-painted RAYS 20-inch forged wheels inspired by NISMO, NISMO-tuned Vehicle Dynamic Control, and widened front fenders.
Moving to the GT-R Skyline Edition, the special edition pays homage to the Skyline GT-Rs with its Bayside Blue paint finish and Sora Blue interior. The Bayside Blue shade was available up till the R34 Skyline GT-R and was later revived for the 50th anniversary model in 2019.
Both GT-R T-spec Takumi Edition and Skyline Edition will only be available in limited numbers though the carmaker has not yet revealed the numbers to be produced.
