Nissan has confirmed that it will build a flagship Nismo version of the Nissan GT-R.
The announcement was made by Carlos Ghosn, Nissan CEO, at the opening of the firm's new global Nismo headquarters in Yokohama, Japan.
Ghosn said: "It would be unthinkable for us to develop a range of Nismo road cars without including the GT-R. The standard road car is a global supercar and the GTR's performance on track reflects the passion and talents of the Nismo team. The GT-R Nismo will be special and I can't wait to drive it."
The standard GT-R, pictured above, is fitted with a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 which develops 545bhp and 456lb-ft of torque, allowing it to get from 0-62mph in less than 3 seconds and on to a top speed of 196mph.
The GT-R Nismo will join the existing Juke Nismo and the forthcoming 370Z Nismo in Nissan's performance car line-up.
More details of the Nissan GT-R Nismo will be confirmed closer to launch.
