Nissan updates GT-R and introduces two special editions in Japan
By CARSIFU | 13 January 2023YOKOHAMA: Nissan today unveiled the new Japan-market GT-R, including two special editions, the GT-R Premium edition T-spec, and GT-R Nismo Special edition.
The 2024 models are planned to hit the market in the coming spring and will be joined by the Nismo versions, planned to go on sale in summer.
With “evolving toward ultimate driving pleasure” as its product concept, the Nissan GT-R continues to enhance its status as a premium sports car.
The new models represent the next level of balance between speed and ride quality.
"Fronted with a new grille design, cutting-edge technologies and craftsmanship, the new models are the pinnacle of the GT-R R35," said Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta.
The models feature improved aerodynamics and a refined ride quality. While maintaining horsepower, noise and vibration have been reduced and the sound carefully tuned to enhance onboard comfort.
Under the hood is the same old twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 engine making 562hp across the range except for the Nismo, which uprates the output to 591hp.
T-spec represents the GT-R’s philosophy of leading and shaping the times and is inspired by the words trend and traction.
The GT-R Premium edition T-spec is equipped with specially set suspension and carbon disc brakes to enhance a smooth ride and responsive handling.
The GT-R Nismo maximises the use of racing technologies.
By refining aerodynamic performance, suspension tuning, and adding a mechanical limited-slip differential to the front final drive, this is the highest-performance GT-R ever.
The exclusive Recaro carbon back bucket seats have been refreshed for enhanced drive quality, providing a unified feel with the car and increased comfort.
The GT-R Nismo Special edition uses high-precision weight-balanced engine parts, such as piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, and a clear-coated Nismo-exclusive carbon engine hood (with NACA ducts).
