2014 | Nissan GT-R Midnight Opal Special Edition

While Nissan’s Z-car lineage long offered a point of entry for US enthusiasts, the manufacturer’s sports-purpose flagship remained sorely out of reach. After 10 generations of the fabled Skyline’s production, Nissan acquiesced to an American market variant—badged GT-R. High-grade track hardware and handsome styling pitted the model against established exotic competition. Powered by a hand-assembled 480hp V6 force-fed by twin turbochargers, the R35-generation star quickly garnered a reputation for hitting above its weight. All-wheel drive, 6-speed dual-clutch shifting, and available Premium trim delivered a driving experience on par with the best.

Iterative advancements in the GT-R’s power and handling proved Nissan’s commitment to the platform. By 2014, the car claimed an output of 545hp matched by fine-tuning of its gearbox and Bilstein power-adjustable suspension. Limited production offerings further pushed the icon’s appeal with unique and novel flair. Among them, a Midnight Opal Special Edition of just 50 US-bound vehicles catered to buyers seeking exclusivity and prestige. Atop Premium optioning, the short run of highly collectible coupes featured custom deep-hue paint, wheels coated with a hyper-titanium finish, and a dry carbon fiber rear spoiler.

One of 50 produced, this 2014 Nissan GT-R Midnight Opal Special Edition shines in any light. Black leather, synthetic suede, and contrast stitching coordinate throughout the cabin complete with Bose 11-speaker audio and optional GT-R floor mats. Well-bolstered power/heated bucket seating provides support at speed in a cockpit well-equipped with paddle shifters and nav-enabled infotainment. Upgraded AAM Competition air intakes and a high-flow cat-back exhaust system aid breathing of the twin-turbocharged 3.8L powerplant. A rarity for examples similar, no internal modifications to the powertrain compromise this GT-R's collector-quality condition. Vehicle Dynamic Control manages four-wheel power delivery in stride with selectable Normal, Special, and R drive modes. Mounted Rohana 20” wheels sit over cross-drilled brakes w/gold-finished calipers. This car’s Special Edition RAYS forged wheels and OEM exhaust components are included in the sale. Showing just over 17k miles, this R35 benefits from whole-car paint protection and is accompanied by a clean title, Carfax Report, and third-party Inspection Report.
