After more than 17 years of thrilling fans and exhilarating drivers, GT-R production for the North American market will sunset in October.

Honoring Talented Craftspeople<\/h2>\n

The GT-R T-spec Takumi Edition honors the eponymous\u00a0takumi<\/em>\u00a0master craftspeople<\/a>\u00a0responsible for hand-assembling each GT-R VR38DETT engine. The engine badge acknowledging the\u00a0takumi\u00a0<\/em>will feature red-etched writing, and the engine bay will house a gold VIN plate. The red engine badge signifies an elevated level of attention to precise engine tolerances and component balancing during assembly of the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6.<\/p>\n

Additionally, theT-spec Takumi Edition stuns from every angle with its Midnight Purple paint job \u2013 a reference to some of the Skyline\/GT-R line’s most iconic special editions.The interior trim is also finished in exclusive Mori Green.<\/p>\n

Like the standard 2024 GT-R T-spec, the Takumi Edition also receives several mechanical enhancements, including GT-R NISMO carbon-ceramic brakes, a gold-painted version of the NISMO’s RAYS\u00ae 20-inch forged wheels, NISMO-tuned Vehicle Dynamic Control and wider front fenders.<\/p>\n

Reflecting Unforgettable Scenery<\/h2>\n

The GT-R Skyline Edition brings the iconic name from overseas to the U.S. and references the abundant beauty found in skylines across Japan. Building on GT-R Premium, it wears Bayside Blue paint and features a stunning new Sora Blue interior color scheme. Once a staple of the car’s color palette, Bayside Blue was “retired” after the\u00a0R34-generation GT-R<\/a>\u00a0and revived in 2019 for the\u00a050th anniversary edition model<\/a>.<\/p>\n
