Nissan GT-R gets special 'T-spec' edition

Nissan has announced yet another limited production GT-R.

This 'T-spec' edition comes with wider front fenders gold-painted Rays forged aluminum-alloy wheels and a carbon-fibre rear spoiler. Body-coloured door mirrors, black hood ducts and T-spec badging complete the exterior changes. Also added are carbon ceramic brakes with brake air guides from the GT-R NISMO.

The Nissan GT-R T-spec will also be available only in two exclusive exterior colours: Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Millennium Jade was previously offered on the R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nur.

The R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nur is one of the rarest GT-Rs ever, with only 718 units produced, and just 156 carrying the Millennium Jade colour. This is the first time this colour will be offered on a GT-R in the U.S. market.

The new Midnight Purple meanwhile, is a modern interpretation of the Midnight Purple III from the R34 V-Spec, which was limited to 132 units, and the 2014 special edition Midnight Opal R35 GT-R that was limited to only 100 units worldwide.

The T-spec interior includes a special Mori Green interior colour, premium semi-aniline leather-appointed seating with pearl suede accents, quilted Alcantara headliner and additional T-spec badging.

Under the hood, GT-R T-spec customers will find the legendary, hand-assembled twin-turbo VR38DETT 3.8-litre V6 engine, rated at 557bhp horsepower and 633Nm of torque. The refined powerplant is backed by an advanced paddle-shifted sequential six-speed dual clutch transmission with GT-R's unique independent rear transaxle ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system.
