Artisan GT-R: the rebirth of the Skyline GT-R with up to 1,014 CV

In an effort to revive the lost essence of the Japanese icon, Artisan Vehicle Design has brought to life a masterpiece: a turbocharged version of the incredible and nostalgic GT-R R35, with one of the best carbon fibre chassis and available in two versions: Track or Ultimate.

The new bodywork has been obtained by stripping the GT-R of its conventional body panels and fitting new carbon fibre panels of the highest quality to replace the originals, drastically reducing the vehicle’s weight without compromising structural rigidity.

A renewed design that keeps its character

Artisan has injected a new soul into the cabin of the GT-R, transforming it into a luxury sanctuary. High-quality Alcántara leather is interwoven with carbon fibre finishes, creating a symphony of elegance and modernity. The centrepiece is the exclusive range of Artisan carbon sports seats, the steering wheel and the gear lever, all meticulously fitted to measure to enhance comfort.

The Artisan GT-R is not merely an aesthetic customisation; it is a statement of respect for the legendary Skyline GT-R of the past. The customised bodywork, which breaks with conventional styling, conveys a squared and robust stance that pays homage to the inherent strength of the model. Aerodynamic elements forgotten in the modern era re-emerge, giving the GT-R a unique presence in its class. The available colours, such as Millenium Jade, Midnight Purple and Bayside Blue, pay tribute to the original GT-R, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and style.

Two available modes and up to 1,014 CV

Artisan has refined the chassis set-up, maintaining the unmistakable essence of the GT-R while improving it to achieve a deeper and more exciting connection between the driver and the new lightweight form. The substantial improvement in performance and dynamics is equally evident in the two versions on offer: Track and Ultimate. The former produces 811 CV, while the latter unleashes an impressive 1,014 CV. Both variants feature upgrades to brakes, tyres and suspension, ensuring an exciting and connected driving experience.

Unlimited personalisation

Artisan Vehicle Design takes pride in offering its customers an experience without restrictions. “There are no predefined limits; if it is not on the list, we will create it especially for you” is a declaration of intent from the brand, whose number one goal is to satisfy as many customers as possible. In collaboration with clients, they aim to turn custom requests into reality, demonstrating that imagination is the only limit in creating a unique GT-R. The Artisan GT-R will be limited to just 36 units worldwide, with an estimated starting price of around $450,000.
