Nissan has taken the wraps off the newest iteration of the Nissan GT-R NISMO, the company’s flagship GT-R. It is planned to launch in Japan in October, alongside a special edition version.

Both models will be offered in the new, NISMO-exclusive Stealth Gray body colour, with the special edition featuring a carbon fibre bonnet, and 20-inch Rays aluminum forged wheels sporting a red accent that matches existing accents around the body.

The large Brembo calipers and carbon ceramic rotors are the biggest ever fitted to a Japanese performance car, at 410mm in the front and 390mm at the rear.

Power and performance will be delivered by a 3.8-litre twin turbo V6, rated at 441kW.

The built-to-order GT-R NISMO special edition uses new high-precision, weight-balanced parts including the piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, flywheel, crank pulley and valve springs dialed in with tighter tolerances, delivering snappier revs and quicker turbo spooling. Each engine is handcrafted.
