Nissan to make special GT-R celebrating partnership with tennis star Naomi Osaka

By CARSIFU | 19 December 2018


YOKOHAMA: Nissan will start taking orders Dec 20 for a special-edition Nissan GT-R launched to commemorate the company’s partnership with tennis Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.

Nissan plans to build up to 50 of the cars, with tailored specifications based on the Nissan GT-R Premium edition grade. The model will come with three body color options including Midnight Opal, Brilliant White Pearl and Meteor Flake Black Pearl.

Osaka, who joined Nissan as a brand ambassador shortly after becoming the first Japanese tennis player to win a women’s singles Grand Slam championship in September, helped match the colour schemes for the special-edition GT-R. Three new colour schemes have been developed for the commemorative model, and they can be combined with any of the body colours.

The car comes with LED high-mount stop lights on the dry carbon rear spoiler and a golden model-number plate in the engine room.

Pricing for the car, to be sold in Japan only, will be announced next month.
