Nissan has dropped the GT-R in Europe, but in Japan it's added two new trims including Special Edition Nismo 👀
not long ago, don’t be. It’s dead in Europe, because over here we don’t like noise, which is why the GT-R was apparently pulled from sale. Over in Japan they seem to mind less, which is why the iconic model gets yet another tweak for a new year. That said, part of the upgrade does include changes to the exhaust to modify the sound - whether or not that's a prelude to the car being sold elsewhere remains to be seen.
Nissan says, ‘evolving toward ultimate driving pleasure,’ is central to the GT-R’s philosophy, and the new T-Spec and Nismo versions ‘enhance its status as a premium sports car’. There are now eight versions in total, with the new additions sitting at the upper end of the range. The T-Spec includes styling tweaks - most notably that new front grille - but also improved aerodynamics with a beefed-up rear wing and carbon brakes.
The latest Nismo variant has its own suspension and aerodynamic package and ‘maximizes the use of racing technologies’. It also adds a mechanical limited-slip differential to the front axle. Nissan says it’s the ‘highest-performance GT-R ever,’ with power stretched to 600hp and torque at 481lb ft. There’s also a Nismo Special Edition.
