Fortunately, the Nissan GT-R T-spec, which has evolved almost every year, has been blessed with the opportunity to drive each time. In September 2021, which is about to reach the 15th year since its shocking appearance at the end of 2007, it was announced that a limited number of 100 special specification cars “T-spec” will be sold by lottery along with the 2022 model. Was done. The price is 1,37,374.12Â usd for the “Premium edition T-spec” and 1,54,424.60Â usd for the “Track edition engineered by NISMO T-spec”.
 Although it is reasonably expensive, all of them are specially equipped with special carbon ceramic brakes, carbon rear spoiler, special engine cover, etc., especially considering that carbon ceramic brakes are attached at this price difference, it should be cheap for those who understand. It seems.
“T” means “Trend Maker” and “Traction Master”. The former is the “philosophy of leading the era” that expresses the ideal GT-R and the desire to continue to be the car that will lead the era.
The test drive was “Premium Edition”. In addition to the special interior coordination, the suspension is set exclusively for the suspension, and a special Rays aluminum forged wheel painted in bronze for NISMO is given. In addition, as the rim width of the wheel is wider than that for the normal GT-R, the fender is also equipped with a special product that is 5 mm wider on one side.
 Also pay attention to the body color. For the GT-R, it is one of the two new colors that have historical significance, and the appearance of the R35 wearing the “Millennium Jade” that can be selected for 1,425.14 usd for the first time is also impressive.
Exterior of Nissan GT-R T-spec
The test drive this time was the “Premium edition Nissan GT-R T-spec” (1,37,289.33Â usd), which is a special specification car limited to 100 units including the “Track edition engineered by NISMO T-spec”, and the body color is Millennium Jade. The body size is 4710 x 1895 x 1370 mm (total length x total width x total height), and the wheelbase is 2780 mm. Vehicle weight is 1760kg.
Taking advantage of the lighter weight under the spring, the suspension was set exclusively. This, combined with the increased rigidity of the tire by expanding the wheel rim width, has realized light and smooth handling.
How to run comfortably on public roads
 The running with the dedicated suspension is quite impressive. Regarding the “realizing light and smooth handling” mentioned in the release, I was wondering what kind of nuance it is to be light and smooth with the Nissan GT-R T-spec, but I was convinced by driving. It was impressive that the under spring was light, the suspension moved well, there was a firm grip, and even though the car was never light, it was surprisingly straightforward to turn in.
The input is received well, and thanks to the supple tires catching the road surface, it seems to turn more smoothly as steered. It also leads to improved comfort. The GT-R was once pointed out to be uncomfortable to ride, but as I have already told you that it has improved over the years, the impression that the ” Nissan GT-R T-spec ” has become even more sophisticated.
 There is no damage to the road surface, the impact when passing through a step is small, and even a little undulation of the road surface really instantly converges. The contact feel with the road surface feels something that the GT-R has never had before. You can see that it was developed with the idea of  how to drive comfortably and comfortably on public roads.
The brakes, which also contribute to the lightness of the spring, seemed to be the easiest to handle in the world as a carbon ceramic product, and the pedal feel is not too difficult. I haven’t tried the aggressive driving this time, but of course the capacity seems to be quite high.
The ultimate GT-R for public roads
The V-type 6-cylinder DOHC 3.8-liter twin-turbo “VR38DETT” engine produces a maximum output of 419kW (570PS) / 6800rpm and a maximum torque of 637Nm (65.0kgfm) / 3300-5800rpm. WLTC mode fuel consumption is 7.8km / L
 The change in the 2022 model has not been reported in particular, but the engine feel, which was already more than enough fast, has been further improved, and the feeling of power has increased more than before, and it blows up from the low rotation range. I felt like it was.
It feels modest when compared to NISMO, but it is easy to handle on public roads because it has excellent torque characteristics for pickup in the low rev range. You can enjoy the overwhelming speed of GT-R with easier drive.
 In addition to the finish of such an engine and the suspension mentioned above, various versions have been sent out so far, including the fact that the premium edition is the base, so the interior quality is high, and the seats are also equipped with considerable consideration for comfort. Among the R35s that have been released, I think Nissan GT-R T-spec can be recognized as the “ultimate” GT-R for public roads.
 It also shows the depth of the “deepening” of the GT-R, which has evolved as a road-going car. It is said that the limited 100 units sold out are already soaring, and it is not clear how many of them are premium editions, but as long as the person who could get it is really envious.
