It sounds a bit pompous, what with a name like that, but there’s nothing wrong with being self-involved, especially if it’s exclusivity you’re looking for.
Aside from the usual fare editions that have come about with Nissan’s facelifted GT-R, there’s the Egoist version, which the company says is an exclusive luxury edition ‘created by Takumi, or “master with greatest skills.”‘
The Egoist allows each customer to tailor his ride according to indvidual taste. It starts with a combination of interior colours to choose from – there are 20 selections in all, with four upper area interior colors and 10 lower area interior colors. Once you’ve selected the colour scheme that you want, the parts of the interior are shipped off to leather specialists Seton Company in Germany, where master craftsmen sew and stick carefully selected leather by hand.
The seats in the Egoist feature an exclusive quilted design with single and double stitching combined in a reticular pattern. Enhanced body grip performance, smoothness and fit are all provided for in the design.
Next, there’s a Bose precision sound system that’s tuned to you, quite litreally – the sound quality is adjusted exclusively for each owner, depending on individual driving position. The model also gets specially developed carbon composite-based woofers, which offer high rigidity and damping.
The car also features a Wajima lacquer (Maki-e) steering wheel GT-R emblem, created by Sakae Kubota, an accredited traditional Japanese lacquer craftsman. The emblem’s deep coloring and glaze will deepen and richen as time goes by, which shouldn’t be a bad thing if you view it every day.
Of course, the flashy bits don’t get left out in all this exclusivity, with some common-to-SpecV parts strapped on for the ride. The Egoist adopts the dry carbon rear spoiler from there, as well as the latter’s Rays forged alloy wheels, though here it’s finished in a new five-layer Blue Sword Chrome shade. A titanium exhaust system completes the list.

Correct. Humble and GTR are definitely not synonymous.
I’m not afford to buy this car… :-((
Before i still wonder why this car have good performance but lack in luxury? Be honest, we pay a large sum money and get only performance? Yeahhh..perhape people will say better get merc or bmw but come on! at least please give a little nice touch there.
But now, after they give a luxury touch…i still wonder if got enough money, will i buy this car? Hmmm……..
if i got money, i’ll go for ths 1 rather than merc, bmw, audi, or whtever car in ths world without thinking back…
that is bcos u dont have money. i doubt those people with money in malaysia context would go for this instead of merc, bmw, audi or whatever..
in terms of durabiliyty, tech wise, performance etc… yeah european car is better..
I has start saving to get this car…and in total i have 10 cents in my piggy bank..way to go! = )
u the man with egoist…Dude…!
a very nice car..wonder what the price would be..
My dream car…..save $$$ save $$$
Hmmm… GTR egoist.. Doesn’t sound right on the mighty macho fierce godzilla… The brown interior really spoils the GTR IMO.. Look like for unker or gay buy the egoist..
u can choose 20 colors….
Don’t really like some iconic sports car to go for luxury sometimes, but i think in new GT-R guise, it’s time for Nissan to do so, as I believe their aim is on different league already. Better watch out, Porsche!
wow…. i wish i could have one…….in my dream huhuhu
very nice car that suit and marketed to the rich people….wonder when will inspira egoist will be on sale thehehee
InPIRATE Egoist la Dude…!haha..
not so EGOIST when it comes to d wheel design. simple sgt (can say ugly)..nothing boastful abt it except for d brand (Rays) n 5-layer paint.
How much will be the cost for this upgrading??
wow..i wonder how it feels to drive this car..
trying too hard to be an italian supercar. sighhh!!!
The engine start & off button is also on the wheel. Kind of easy to press it accidentally? :)
the engine start stop button is the big red button near the gear lever , the one on the steering wheel is probably for cruise control or something
the GTR’s starter button is in front of the handbrake. Standard.
But heck if you have so much money, I think for you they can put the starter button on the roof also la..
…Ah Beng’s car “On/Off” button at his remote control and kept in this pocket.
The start-stop on the steering wheel is that lap timer.
Hey.. should be a nice addition to my transit cars for my sole purpose to travel from my apartment to my yacht at the Marina. :)
Japan Bently?
a thug wearing Hermes…
The most desirable piece of japanese engineering indeed…with adequate power n handling, luxury is what we need in the equation. vote for me!
Looks exactly like the interior of a Bentley, which is a good thing.
I love the leather interior..nice and VIP
Frikkin awesome!!! , Interior wont feel out of place inside a bentley , truly exquisite!!!
It seems to target at european market. European popular colors but lack of dual tones. If it excels better than european car, please show GT-R true colors. (i.e. like to high tech instruments and some kind of unique colors)
sport car goes to luxury … totally not match at all. Sport car is about speed, power and performance…luxury is about rest and sleep at d back while your driver drove it…
i would fall asleep while speeding at 300km/h…zzz zzzz zz z zzzzzz… the seat is too comfortable. z zz z zzzzz zzzz
The reason for the Egoist? Porsche.
Porsche has always been known for being able to offer you a sports car than tear up a track and at the same time offer you a million choices in interior leather colors (you can even choose the color of your seatbelt and instrument cluster)
So this is Nissan’s comeback, they’ve proven they can beat the Porsche on the track and opened up a new kind of customer- The kind that would buy a Porsche -and offer them what the GT-R was lacking in the first place: Refinement. (even the suspension is revised to be more comfy)
Now all they have to do is get past badge snobbery.
Yeak…GT2 race smoked by european and american cars..
will be driven by uncle with lots of money…
us poor people will be drooling seeing him with good looking R and good looking chicks..
the front LED fog lights looks horrible and somehow disturbing. yuck~
Yahoooo…yesssss…im gonna get this one…on my my screen saver!!! hehehehe
