Millennium Jade T-Spec 2021 Nissan GT-R

The USA will get a special limited production version of the 2021 Nissan GT-R called the T-Spec. The T-Spec has wider front fenders, gold wheels, and carbon fiber rear wing. Carbon Ceramic brakes with air guides are also added to the T-Spec. Although Nissan says T-Spec means Tread, or Trend, or whatever for T, Mr. T., Tamura is on his way to mandatory retirement soon. This car helps to honor his contribution to the Nissan Skyline GT-R, and Nissan GT-R.

Midnight Purple T-Spec 2021 Nissan GT-R

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan today announced a special, limited production 2021 GT-R "T-spec" edition, which will be available in two iconic body colors and with a range of upgraded features.

Slotting in above the GT-R Premium grade, the new, limited-volume GT-R T-spec adds wider front fenders from the previous Track Edition, gold-painted RAYS® forged aluminum-alloy wheels and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Body-colored door mirrors, black hood ducts and T-spec badging complete the exterior changes. Also added are carbon ceramic brakes with brake air guides from the GT-R NISMO.

Most notable about the new GT-R T-spec are the two exclusive exterior colors – Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Millennium Jade was previously offered on the R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür, one of the rarest GT-Rs ever. With the name inspired by the Nürburgring racetrack, only 718 V-Spec II Nür units were produced – with just 156 carrying the Millennium Jade color. This is the first time this color will be offered on a GT-R in the U.S. market.

The new Midnight Purple is a modern interpretation of the Midnight Purple III from the R34 V-Spec, which was limited to 132 units, and the 2014 special edition Midnight Opal R35 GT-R that was limited to only 100 units worldwide (50 in the U.S.).
