The special edition Nismo GT-R that was revealed not too long ago has already been sold out, as confirmed by Nissan. The Japanese manufacturer confirmed that, in markets where it was made available, 99 per cent of customers opted for this edition over the standard model.
As Carscoops reports, the special edition Nismo GT-R gains some new features, such as a clear-coated carbon fibre bonnet, which shaves 100 grams off the car’s kerb weight. The edition also sports a set of model-exclusive 20-inch Rays alloy wheels with red accents that match the garnishes found around the car’s body.
“The Nismo GT-R has always been an ongoing pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure,” chief product specialist of the GT-R, Hiroshi Tamura, said at the car’s international launch. “We take a holistic approach, seeking precision performance through a meticulous balance of engine components and shaving weight, and incrementally evolving the GT-R’s appearance to deliver the ultimate balance of power, performance and excitement to our customers.”
Under the bonnet remains the firm’s VR38DETT 3,8-litre V6 engine, featuring twin-turbochargers straight from the GT3 race car. Outputs remain as per the previous Nismo models, with 441 kW of power and 652 N.m of torque.
The built-to-order special edition does however gain a few high-precision, specially weight-balanced parts, dialled in with higher tolerances to improve engine response. These include the valve springs, piston rings, conrods, crankshaft and flywheel.
