With a variety of updates, a choice of two bold exterior colors, and a limited-run, the T-spec edition is a worthy addition to the 2021 Nissan GT-R lineup, which also includes the sleek, sporty GT-R NISMO Special Edition.
Available Now: 2021 Nissan GT-R
Exterior elements
The T-spec edition features wide front fenders and a carbon-fiber wide spoiler. These fenders are more substantial than the ones sported by the Track Edition. Gold-painted RAYS® forged aluminum-alloy wheels offer the special edition model serious style. The rest of the exterior elements to distinguish the model include body-colored door mirrors, T-spec badging, and hood ducts in black. The T-spec borrows some signature performance elements from the GT-R NISMO, namely the carbon ceramic brakes with brake air guides.
The GT-R T-spec edition has two exterior color options: Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Millennium Jade was previously offered on an uber-rare GT-R model in Europe, but this is the first time the color is being offered on a model in the U.S. market.
Nissan reports, “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.).”

Interior features
Inside, the 2021 Nissan GT-R T-spec edition boasts a distinct interior with the Mori Green color. The aniline leather-appointed seating is sophisticated and comfortable and features pearl suede accents for a signature design. T-spec badging fills the cabin while the quilted Alcantara headliner finishes the look.
Performance
A twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine pairs to an advanced paddle-shifted sequential six-speed dual clutch transmission to generate 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque. The 2021 Nissan GT-R T-spec edition is also equipped with an independent rear transaxle all-wheel drive system.
Pricing
The Nissan GT-R T-spec edition boasts an MSRP of $138,490. It’ll be available in very limited numbers in the U.S. later this year.
