Modest changes
Unfortunately, in America, we will only be entitled to one version, the T-spec. In its case, the changes are limited to wider front fenders, 20-inch RAYS forged aluminum rims painted in gold color, an air intake in black, and mirrors in a color coordinated with the rest of the car. the body. More spectacular, the T-spec also offers a carbon fiber spoiler as well as carbon ceramic brake discs. Nissan places great emphasis on paying tribute to the colors Midnight Purple (violet) and Millenium Jade (green).
Green
Inside, we find the spirit of the last decade. However, we note the addition of the option of a Mori green semi-aniline coating. For the rest, we get the same as in 2021.
The immortal VR38DETT
In terms of mechanics, there is no change. It’s still about the immortal and mighty V6 VR38DETT which occupies the space under the hood. It develops 565 horsepower and produces 467 pound-feet of torque. The ATTESE E-TS 4WD system receives power through a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission only.
In Japan
As is often the case for this type of vehicle, there are variants in Japan, and 2 special editions can be ordered: the GT-R Premium Edition T-spec and the GT-R Track Edition Engineered by NISMO T-spec . In their cases, the changes are similar to the North American version, but the excitement goes a little deeper. In the case of the Track Edition, NISMO is having a blast when it comes to accessories. Most importantly, the roof and trunk lid switch to carbon fiber.
