2024 Nissan GT-R T-spec Takumi and Skyline Edition

 

While we awaited news from Nissan regarding the GT-R’s fate for 2025, the Japanese automaker has introduced a duo of special edition models for the 2024 model year. These limited edition specials pay tribute to the rich heritage of the GT-R and the skilled artisans behind its creation. The T-Spec Takumi highlights the GT-R’s meticulously hand-built engine, while the Skyline Edition brings back the iconic Bayside Blue paint color. While every part of the Nissan GT-R is thoroughly considered, the twin-turbocharged GT-R VR38DETT V6 engine is arguably the most special part of it. Every single unit is built by one of just four master craftspeople, known as the takumi.

The 2024 GT-R T-spec Takumi Edition honors their work, their dedication, and their special attention to detail. The engine of each example will built with an even higher level of attention to precise engine tolerances and balancing and feature a special gold VIN engine badge with red-etched writing. Nissan says this should make the T-spec Takumi models especially desirable.

 

The GT-R T-spec Takumi also features carbon ceramic brakes the GT-R Nismo, wider front fenders, and Nismo-tuned vehicle dynamic control. Each model will be finished in Midnight Purple, complemented by gold-painted 20-inch RAYS forged wheels and exclusive Mori Green trim and upholstery.

The second special edition model will honor the rich history of the GT-R. While Nissan says the name is inspired by the “abundant beauty found in skylines across Japan,” it’s also a clear reference to the model that gave birth to the GT-R. As such, it will be finished in the iconic Bayside Blue paint color, which was brought back for the 50th-anniversary edition model in 2019, paired with a Sora Blue leather interior.

Unfortunately, Nissan has not yet announced pricing or availability for the special edition GT-R models but says that they are expected in the U.S. this summer. Fans of the iconic Nissan GT-R might want to start buttering up their local Nissan dealer, though, as the automaker says supplies will be “very limited.”
