For almost a decade, we have always gotten hints of a new next-generation GTR sports car from Nissan. The carmaker has even gone further and showed its fans a concept 2020 vision gran Turismo, which was actually designed for a video game series. Now in 2021, after a long wait, Nissan has finally revealed the next 2022 Nissan GT-R iconic supercar. It comes in five model variants, which include two special edition variants a new T-spec and Nismo SV.

Unfortunately, the 2022 Nissan GT-R supercar is the final edition in the GTR line-up. Nissan decided to add the new GTR T-spec and Nismo SV edition to farewell the icon as it marks the end of the road.

For the Premium Luxury version a unique semi-aniline leather on the seats, steering wheel, gear shifter, dashboard and door trims are available.

Last but not least, the 2022 Nissan GT-R T-spec version is like a combo of both the Nismo and the premium versions and is also available in two iconic exterior colours – Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Its uniqueness also starts from having larger brakes and a carbon-fibre spoiler all the way to its gold-coloured 20-inch wheels, dark green interior and quilt-stitched Alcantara roof lining.
