Nissan has unveiled a new limited production 2014 Nissan GT-R Special Edition package with a hand-painted "Midnight Opal" exterior. The Special Edition GT-R will be limited to 100 units, and half of the total units will be made available for the U.S. buyers. The sales for the vehicle in US are scheduled to begin in September.
The 2014 Nissan GT-R Special Edition package's unique feature is the new Midnight Opal exterior paint, with each coat applied by hand. The highly reflective paint treatment changes appearance slightly from a deep purple to a deep blue depending on light conditions and viewing angle. Additionally, the GT-R Special Editions also sports a never before offered in the US hyper-titanium colored coating on the RAYS forged lightweight wheels, a dry carbon fiber rer spoiler similar to that utilized on the GT-R Black and GT-R Track Editions, and a gold-plated serialized plaque of authenticity located in the engine compartment.
The new GT-R Special Edition comes with Nissan's advanced VR38DETT 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 engine that produces 545bhp and 627Nm of top torque. It sports an exclusive Premium Midship platform that enables the use of the dynamic independent rear transxale ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. Total vehicle adjustability is provided by set-up switches located in the center of the instrument panel, enabling the driver to adjust transmission, shock absorbers and the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC-R) among three settings – Normal, Special or R.
The interior features sculpted performance bucket seats and a cockpit-style instrument panel with a large center-mounted tachometer and multi-function display – which includes mechanical and driving information, as well as an on-board driving recorder. A specially designed 11-speaker Bose sound system with speakers mounted in rigid aluminum die cast panels is standard.
