Nissan has revealed a new Skyline Nismo for the first time since the R34 Skyline - but it’s available only in Japan and it’s limited to just 1000 units.
With the same 298kW/475Nm twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 as the Nissan Z Nismo, the Nissan Skylinw Nismo builds on the usual top-spec Skyline GT but with more power and performance parts, as well as exclusive design features.
A further special edition, appropriately called the Skyline NISMO Limited, will be limited to 100 units and pay homage to the pre-Nissan merge S54A-1 Prince Skyline GT.
The Skyline Nismo features specific drive modes for its newfound power and its extra kit, too, which includes 20mm wider and lighter 19-inch Enkei aluminium wheels, sticky Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 tyres, retuned suspension and stabilisers and brake pads with "fade-resistant friction material".
The brakes specifically work with a revised ABS configuration that has been tuned to the new wheels and tyres to reduce braking distance, while the dynamics control system is similarly “specially tuned to match the stability improvements”.
Borrowed from the Nissan GT-R Nismo, the adhesive used on the windshields “improves body rigidity without increasing overall vehicle weight”.
Aerodynamic improvements on the bumpers, grille, and side skirts are claimed to increase downforce and reduce drag, while improving airflow to the radiator and oil cooler.
Inside, black Recaro sports seats in suede are the highlight, plus a Nismo leather-wrapped steering wheel and a speedo that goes to 280km/h.
