Nissan pulled back the cover of the 2024 GT-R at the Tokyo Auto Salon on Thursday, with new (old) paint options, revised aerodynamics, and other minor improvements for the R35 generation that has remained largely unchanged over its 16-year lifespan. The Premium and T-spec have the same 565 hp and 467 pound-feet of torque from the hand-assembled twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6, and the upgraded Nismo variant continues to tune those figures up to 600 hp and 487 pound-feet. Power is still sent to all four wheels through the standard ATTESA ET-S all-wheel-drive system which can vary its front-rear torque split depending on driver preference and scenario. Shifting continues to occur via the rear-mounted six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The front and rear fascias have been redesigned, with the GT-R now using a thinner mesh in the front grille that's meant to improve cooling and reduce drag. Despite a reported increase in downforce, Nissan was able to keep the GT-R's coefficient of drag completely unchanged at 0.26.

The T-spec trim level returns for 2024. It comes in two exclusive colors: the first, Millenium Jade, was previously only available on the R34 V-Spec II Nür, while the second, Midnight Purple, is a modern take on the Midnight Purple III from the R-34 GT-R V-Spec, according to Nissan. The T-spec also receives carbon-ceramic brakes from the Nismo, as well as wider front fenders, Nismo dynamic vehicle control, and a gold painted version of the RAYS 20-inch forged Nismo wheels. It has unique T-spec badging inside and out, and comes with dark Mori Green upholstery inside.
