The Nissan GT-R 2024 offers a special Takumi Edition

First appearing in 2007, the Nissan GT-R refuses to fade away and returns in 2024 with yet another ultra-exclusive Takumi special edition.

This is becoming somewhat embarrassing in the long run. At 17 years old, the Nissan GT-R is that boomer who refuses to face the truth: time passes and the years weigh on it. Aside from a handful of Fast & Furious or Gran Turismo enthusiasts, who still cares about this dinosaur with admittedly impressive performance, but outdated specs?

No question in France where the GT-R is no longer on sale. Nevertheless, Nissan is launching not just one, but two special editions of its “collector” model: the fascinating T-Spec Takumi and Skyline Editions.

The GT-R T-spec Takumi Edition pays homage to the master craftsmen takumi, responsible for the hand-assembly of each GT-R VR38DETT engine. The engine badge recognizing the dedicated takumi will feature red engraved lettering, and the engine compartment will house a gold VIN plate. The red engine badge signifies a high level of attention to precision tolerances and component balancing during assembly, making these 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 examples even more desirable.

Moreover, the T-spec Takumi edition is distinguished from other GT-R variants by its Midnight Purple paint – a nod to some of the most iconic special editions of the Skyline/GT-R line – and its exclusive interior accents in Mori Green.

Like the standard 2024 GT-R T-spec, the Takumi edition also features several mechanical upgrades, including GT-R NISMO carbon-ceramic brakes, a gold-painted version of the 20-inch RAYS® forged wheels from NISMO, tuned by NISMO, as well as vehicle dynamic control and wider front fenders.

A More Romantic Skyline Edition

The GT-R Skyline Edition carries the legendary name overseas in the United States and evokes the lush beauty found on Japan’s horizons. Building on the GT-R Premium, it features Bayside Blue paint and a stunning new Sora Blue interior color palette. Once a key part of the car’s color options, Bayside Blue was phased out after the R34 generation GT-R and was reintroduced in 2019 for the 50th anniversary edition.

Details and pricing for the Nissan GT-R T-spec 2024 Takumi Edition and Skyline Edition will be announced at a later date. Both models are expected to arrive this summer at select Nissan dealerships in the U.S., in very limited quantities.
