The Special Edition is based on the Premium GT-R and gets a unique paint, dry carbon-fiber rear spoiler, and forged aluminum rear wheels with a “hyper-titanium” coating. A gold model-number plate will be attached in the engine compartment to notate the uniqueness of the car.

The distinctive Midnight Opal paint is applied by hand, has a sparkling finish, and is described as changing color from a deep purple to a deep blue depending on the conditions.
