Nissan will start taking orders Dec. 20 for a special-edition Nissan GT-R launched to commemorate the company's partnership with tennis Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. For the Japanese domestic market, Nissan is now introducing a limited-run GT-R to celebrate the tie-up between the company and Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. The talented 21-year-old tennis player helped Nissan come up with the fancy finish of the supercar, which will be offered with a choice between three equally appealing paint finishes: Brilliant White Pearl, Meteor Flake Black Pearl, and Midnight Opal. The Nissan GT-R special edition model in Midnight Opal, one of the three body color options. The Nissan GT-R special edition model with interior featuring Ivory Leather and Urban Black Leather. Nissan plans to build up to 50 of the cars, with tailored specifications based on the Nissan GT-R Premium edition grade.

Osaka, who joined Nissan as a brand ambassador shortly after becoming the first Japanese tennis player to win a women's singles Grand Slam championship in September, helped match the color schemes for the special-edition GT-R. Three new color schemes have been developed for the commemorative model, and they can be combined with any of the body colors. The car comes with LED high-mount stop lights on the dry carbon rear spoiler and a golden model-number plate in the engine room. Pricing for the car, to be sold in Japan only, will be announced next month. To keep the model exclusive, Nissan won’t assemble more than 50 cars and will disclose pricing details next month. All will be based on the Premium edition grade and will obviously command a premium over the regular car.
