Performance

Formed by a group of devoted (some might say obsessed) engineers over 30 years ago, NISMO (NISsan MOtorsport) is the ultimate in Nissan performance. NISMO offers vehicles inspired by an illustrious motorsport heritage, bringing raceday feeling to your daily drive. The Juke NISMO RS is the ultimate sports crossover. The 370Z NISMO is the hottest road-legal Z-car to hit the streets. The GT-R NISMO is the world's fastest volume-production car around Germany’s legendary Nürburgring track. Each one is engineered with brilliance, designed with an undeniable edge, and most important, fuelled by passion without a redline.

Only four master craftsmen in the world are allowed to hand-assemble a GT-R NISMO engine. Known as Takumi, they are master craftsmen who have perfected their skills over years of painstaking work. Each GT-R NISMO engine is assembled by a single Takumi craftsman, and proudly bears a plaque with his signature. But it’s more than just exceptional skills that goes into the process. As one of the Takumi says, “We put our soul into each engine, hoping to deliver that excitement to customers.”

“By putting our nameplates on GT-R engines, it gives us pressure, but in a positive way - not in becoming nervous, but instead to concentrate. It also keeps us from compromising.”
