Dubai, United Arab Emirates (March 2, 2011): The "World of GT-R" expands again this year with the addition an ultra-exclusive "VVIP" version to the Middle East region. The GT-R ‘VVIP” can be custom-ordered according to the precise desires of each individual customer.
Nissan Middle East announced the launch of its new luxury specification GT-R “VVIP” edition during a special media and customer event, which took place at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi and was attended by FIA Vice President and UAE Rally legend Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
The 2012 GT-R’s 3.8-litre V6 engine now produces 530 hp at 6400 rpm as against the older model’s 485hp, while torque is also up to 62.5 kg-m . The all-wheel drive 2012 GT-R has become even more rapid and can sprint from 0-100kph in just three seconds. Despite the increase in power, the 2012 GT-R features a host of fuel saving measures which help increase overall fuel efficiency to 8.5kpl (Japan market measurement). Emission levels also have been reduced and the new GT-R is greener than its predecessor.
A black carbon fibre rear spoiler and 24 karat gold plated side panels, grill and all exclusive VVIP badge visually differentiates this luxurious supercar from its sibling. Inside, the 2012 VVIP GT-R features hand created leather interiors by master craftsmen at Seton Company Inc. Muelheim an der Ruhr in Germany. The seats feature an exclusive quilted design combined with reticular pattern.
Orders for the “VVIP” Nissan GT-R can now be made through Nissan dealers across the GCC region and Lebanon.

Each customer can choose a combination of interior colors among 12 choices. In addition, the Bose® sound system is exclusively tuned according to the driving position of each driver to meet every customer’s needs. This is the ultimate expression of the Nissan GT-R.

Seats
Seats are an exclusive quilted design with single and double stitching combined in a reticular pattern. Enhanced body grip performance (suitable for racing circuit driving), smoothness and fit are all provided.
Wajima Lacquer (Maki-e) Emblem
Wajima Maki-e with deep coloring and glaze created by Mr. Sakae Kubota, an accredited traditional craftsman for Japanese lacquer, is used for the GT-R emblem at the center of the steering wheel. The beautiful coloring of Maki-e changes as time goes by.
Bose® Precision Sound System
Specially developed carbon composite-based woofers, which can cancel vibrations through their high rigidity and damping, are installed. In addition, sound quality is adjusted by Bose® exclusively for each owner, depending on individual driving position.
Carbon Rear Spoiler
VVIP adopts a dry carbon rear spoiler (also used in the SpecV). Providing stable aerodynamic performance, even when driving at more than 300km/h, the rear spoiler gives an intense look in the rear with its black carbon color.
