Nissan has officially announced the debut of its 2024 Skyline Nismo models in the Japanese market. Nismo-tuned models usually have a touch of exclusivity and exceptional performance, both the Skyline Nismo and the Skyline Nismo Limited models are no different. The difference between the models of the Skyline Nismo is limited to aesthetics, production run and pricing.
2024 Nissan Skyline Nismo Production
Talking about the exclusivity factor of these new models, the production of the Skyline Nismo is limited to just 900 units with the launch scheduled for September 2023. While the Skyline Nismo Limited model will have a production run of 100 models and is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2024. However, both these models are made exclusively for the Japanese market.
The Nissan Skyline Nismo model is priced at 7,880,400 Yen (AED 200,000) and the Skyline Nismo Limited model costs 9,479,800 Yen (AED 242,000) as of August 2023. If you fancy either of the limited-edition models in the UAE, then you’ll have to get this car changed to left-hand drive or wait for 30 years in order for it to be deemed as a classic car to drive these RHD models on the streets of UAE.
2024 Nissan Skyline Nismo Engine
Nissan or Nissan Motorsport Division (Nismo) continues to use the same 3.0-litre V6, twin-turbocharged engine. However, the tuned powerplant now produces 414hp and 550Nm of torque — an increase of 14hp and 75Nm over the standard Skyline. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.
The Nismo models also get two new drive modes: Sport & Sport+. Both modes use a new TCU tune that revs the car to higher RPMs, shifts faster and delivers a sharper throttle response.
Other Upgrades:
- Specially developed performance tires for optimal front and rear grip.
- The rear tire width increased by 20mm to put down the new power to the road.
- Enkei 19-inch aluminium wheels: NISMO-exclusive, wider, lighter, and more rigid.
- Improved initial steering responsiveness and cornering via better ground contact.
- Specially tuned suspension and stabilizers for reduced roll, and better tracking.
- New brake pads with fade-resistant friction material.
- ABS revised for shorter braking distance with special tires and pads.
