While the R35-generation Nissan GT-R is well over a decade sold, the automaker has had no trouble selling the 2022 GT-R Nismo.
Unveiled back in April, the latest GT-R Nismo will be available in standard and ‘Special Edition’ guises and production is capped at just 300 units. Nissan has now stopped accepting orders after three months with all examples accounted for.

Nissan has confirmed that 99 per cent of customers opted for the GT-R Nismo Special Edition rather than the standard model, which adds a clear-coated carbon fiber hood and 20-inch Rays forged aluminum wheels finished in black with a red accent. Approximately half of the customers also opted for the new Nismo Stealthy Gray paint finish.
Powering the 2022 GT-R Nismo is a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 pumping out 592 hp and 481 lb-ft (652 Nm) of torque. While those figures are no different than previous GT-R Nismo models, Nissan says the Special Edition variant includes bespoke piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, flywheel, crank pulley, and valve springs dialed in with tighter tolerances.
“The GT-R NISMO has always been an ongoing pursuit of ultimate driving pleasure,” chief product specialist of the GT-R, Hiroshi Tamura, said at the car’s launch. “We take a holistic approach, seeking precision performance through a meticulous balance of engine components and shaving weight, and incrementally evolving the GT-R’s appearance to deliver the ultimate balance of power, performance and excitement to our customers.”
