2021.5 Nissan GT-R Near Fremont, CA | Premier Nissan

How do you add to the excitement and following of the ultimate performance super sports car? According to Nissan, you offer a special limited run trim on the GT-R NISMO Special Edition, and you make it the 2021.5 model. This wily beast is expected to debut in the States in the fall, sporting some exclusive touches. But never fear, it will still be keeping all competitors at bay with the 600-hp twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6, six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive system.

The Special Features

The most noticeable of the unique upgrade is the Stealth Gray paint. But anyone who knows anything about the NISMO GT-R knows that this vehicle is anything but stealth. It is a car that demands attention and respect from the moment it comes into view. The 2021.5 will also wear RAYS-sourced 20-inch forged aluminum-alloy wheels with red accents that match the highlight on the ground effects. And under the clear coat, you will find a carbon fiber weave hood that looks even sportier when surrounded by the glistening gray finish. And the last artistic touch is the latest NISMO logo.

Engine TLC

While the look of the 2021.5 GT-R is beyond words, the true purpose of this vehicle is performance. And that comes from the craftsmanship that rests under that sleek carbon fiber hood. Each engine is hand-built in a dedicated cleanroom by master technicians known as Takumi. And when each of these works of automotive artwork is completed, the artist is given the privilege of signing their work. You will find the special certification plate on the engine of each special edition GT-R.

The Price

This vehicle is not something that you will be shopping around to get a deal on. The limited number will certainly demand top dollar. The estimate is well north of $200,000, even though no one is willing to quote a number. But with the 2021 GT-R NISMO starting at $212,535, you know that the .5 edition is going to top that sticker price. But when it comes to owing the best, with a hand-crafted and signed engine, you have to be willing to write a respectable check.

What You Get For That Still Undisclosed Price

If you are having trouble justifying the around a quarter of a mil that the 2021.5 will set you back, think about all the power you get for your money. The 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque are impressive at any cost. But the added list of goodies on this limited edition includes high-precision, weight-balanced parts for the piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, and valve gear components dialed in with tighter tolerances. The package will provide you with faster engine revs and quicker turbo delivery than the 2021 model.

The GT-R has never done anything halfway. The 2021.5 has done all it takes to be a stand-alone limited edition that somehow managed to improve upon perfection. To learn more about getting one to add your stable in Fremont or Sunnyvale, visit Premier Nissan of Fremont.
