2012 Nissan GT-R Egoist

It is the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R although it is no longer part of the Skyline range.
Based on one of the world's most advanced four-wheel drive chassis, this exclusive version - specially created by 'father' of the Nissan GT-R, chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno - has a hand-crafted interior using only the best quality hides, a 11-speakers Bose sound system tailored to the owner's exact dimensions and ancient Japanese art is employed for the badge which is hand painted in a traditional decoration style known as Urushi. It is the first and only Nissan GT-R in the world exclusively created by Takumi, or "master with greatest skills."

Powered by a 3.8-liter V6 twin turbo engine. From 0 to 60 mph made in 3.046 seconds while top speed is 195 mph.

Priced at $184,698 USD, almost double that of the base model GT-R, it is aimed for the European and Middle Eastern market. 
Not likely it will be imported to the U.S.
