Distinguishing touches include Midnight Purple paint with a Mori Green interior, as well as a gold-colored VIN plate and a red script on the plaque naming the person who assembled a given car&#8217;s engine. Like other T-Spec models, the Takumi Edition also features carbon-ceramic brakes, 20-inch Nismo Rays wheels, and wider front fenders.<\/p>\n<p>The Skyline Edition references the GT-R&#8217;s history as a performance version of the Nissan Skyline before development of the dedicated R35 model. None of the Skyline GT-R models were sold in the U.S. when new, but they&#8217;ve developed a cult following here and some are now being imported under the 25-year rule. The Skyline Edition pays tribute to these cars with the R34 GT-R&#8217;s signature Bayside Blue paint, with a Sora Blue interior.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" readability=\"7\"><img decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100933012_m\" title=\"2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline special edition\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline special edition\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"576\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/2024-nissan-gt-r-skyline-special-edition_100933012_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline special edition<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both special editions are based on the GT-R Premium grade.
