We tested Nissan GT-R t-Spec, one of the latest versions of the Japanese icon, in the decline of a R35 generation we will miss. Always, GT-R.
Before starting this Nissan GT-R T-Spec TestMaybe we should clarify some of the doubts. Although Nissan finally ended the production of GT-R, it is actually still working, but only to meet existing orders. Technically, the Japanese symbol died until the arrival of the next generation, but some new units will still come.
We are talking about A car for sale not less than 18 yearsBut this “zombie” is not like Nissan or him. In fact, it is a special edition of one of the solera Supercoches rosette in the industry, produced only with the Japanese market and legendary flagship ‘T-SPEC’. Basically, the latest “normal” GT-R set for a last hurra.

Exactly what are we talking about?
Nissan GT-R T-Spec Design Thanks to the 2023 front bumper update, it looks a little sharper and the car itself is a little quieter. Literally, because Nissan focused on reducing the noise, vibration and hardness in the cabin to heal long -distance travels.
It is a target that Nissan actually chased for almost ten years. Already in 2015, Nissan GT-R President, Tamura-san told Topgear.com “I wanted to make GT-R more premium … Not only elegant, real premium. Quality.”
While we mentioned this, some magnificent bronze rays have a setting according to light tires and shock absorbers to compensate for this slight reduction in unused weight. There is also a special engine for large carboseramic brakes, some “T-SPEC” badges and the engine that provides cake cherries.
Oh, yes, what about the engine?
Well known 3.8 -lter v6 biturbo GT-R engine for years, but developed. In this last reciprocation, it was processed only with balanced segments, connection bars and crankshaft miles found in the GT-R nism. Now, the internal competition components of the six -class Nism have been democratized to some extent.
Nissan says that newly balanced prisoners allow “more agile revolutions and a faster turbo return”. It does not offer more power, but 570 hp is probably enough for everything you can do on the road. At least, if we talk about those who are within the framework of legality.
Yet, GT-R T-SPEC is not a radical development for normal automobilesBecause 18 years later, Nissan discussed almost all the foundations of his development. In the background, it is still a ruthless and bright super car. Moreover, we are now entering the electrical period and computed power, easy, emotions and instant.
I thought GT-R was always criticized for being “a car and” computer “without feeling.
Like hell. GT-R’s V6 is more than ever. Yes, he has been old, but until his last days, since the great foreman George, this can still hit, and he does it in a way that doesn’t get out of style even twenty years.
Finally, when the V6 awakens, the push is incredible and impossible, the engine note remains a mixture of the whistle and the whistle heavy industry, 4×4 traction continues to direct the angry Japanese horses directly from one curve to another.
The increasing changes of T specification made it a slightly lighter and more agile, but in general it continues to be a car that can withstand everything you throw and ask for them. Although the six -fast DCT transmission is perhaps betrayed by the car’s age, the direction is heavy and linear – and fast – it feels. If we are sincere, a little slow.
What about the idea of making long journeys? As we mentioned in the past, you will miss the seventh March on the highway, but not disturbing. There is a little trachateo here and there, but in general it is a car you can use daily … And then send it to Fuji Speedway at the weekend.
What is the decision?
Nissan pointed to a “pagani” with GT-RLight updates, a little resuscitation of special versions and keep it far beyond usual automobile cycles with some power. But now we’re going to miss it, especially in the time we live.
This GT-R has a strange and different personality To other variants of the model: Although Nismo is only a boxer built for a piece, this T-Spec feels like a smart street fighter. Sayonara, r35.
