Nissan has updated the GT-R for 2022 with prices in Japan starting at JPY 10,828,400. Sales are expected to commence in mid-October in Japan and sometime in winter in North America. And as the title suggests, the 2022 lineup includes two T-spec limited editions, limited to 100 units worldwide. But interestingly, of the total 100, 50 units are allocated to the U.S. market alone.
Trim | JPY |
Pure edition | 10,828,400 |
Black edition | 12,772,100 |
Premium edition | 12,329,900 |
Track edition engineered by Nismo | 14,636,600 |
T-spec | |
Premium edition | 15,904,900 |
Track edition engineered by Nismo | 17,881,600 |
The American pricing for the T-spec starts at $138,490.
The two T-spec limited editions are equipped with exclusive carbon-ceramic brakes, a carbon fibre rear spoiler, an exclusive engine cover, and a T-spec badge on front and rear fascias. Two new body colors—Midnight Purple and Millennium Jade—have been added to the T-spec options. The Midnight Purple was apparently inspired by Aurora Borealis’ color shifting. The Rays forged alloy wheels in the Premium edition T-spec has a bronze finish. As for the Track edition engineered by Nismo T-spec, it exclusively gets a carbon fibre roof and a trunk lid.
And for those who care to know what the ‘T’ in T-spec stands for, the following is an official explanation –
The name T-spec represents the GT-R’s philosophy of leading and shaping the times and is inspired by the words trend and traction. As a trend maker, the GT-R is created to always be ahead of the times, and the car’s ability to drive with robust grip—a key characteristic engineers have always worked hard on—make it a traction master.
The T-spec interior (top two photos) includes a special Mori Green theme, premium semi-aniline leather-appointed seating with pearl suede accents, quilted Alcantara headliner, and of course, additional T-spec badging.
No other changes. The 3.8L twin-turbo V6 in the Japanese market pumps out 419 kW (570 metric hp) and 637 Nm (470 lb-ft) of torque. A 6-speed DCT drives all four wheels.
