Again, What's an EGOIST?!

Yesterday, Nissan launched the redesigned and level-upped R35 GT-R, which will be expected to be sold in Japan this November and soon in other countries, and how this upgraded VR engine stack up against the likes of the Lexus LFA coming soon.

Today, my mind gets me upon witnessing the newest addition of the GT-R R35 lineup, which consists in regular and Spec V. Just what in the JDM world is the GT-R EGOIST?


Following the launch of the R35 GTR minor change, this new addition, the GT-R Egoist, can be the most luxurious version of the Nissan GT-R lineup. Today, I am going to write my first impressions about the GT-R Egoist.


Formerly this car would have been called the Spec M, due to the past about the R34 Skyline GT-R M-Spec, but the Egoist name is just a perfect fit to name this luxurious version of the King of Japanese sports cars. Now onto the details, the GT-R Egoist is somewhat identical to the GT-R Spec V in terms of performance but here's a quick surprise about the GT-R Egoist.

The EGOIST has choice of over 20 interior color combinations that can be a similarity to the Lexus LS' L-Select interior customization. Those interior combinations felt like I've been eating various ice cream flavors while taking a joyride with the GT-R.


The brown interior in the GT-R Egoist really tastes like Coffee-flavored ice cream. Yum!


Orange-colored seats on the GT-R Egoist kinda gets more of an Orange Juice. In other words, when I seat here, it felt like I'm drinking orange juice.

But the most eccentric color combination for the GT-R Egoist is:


PINK! Pink-colored seats can be an oddity for the R35 GT-R Egoist. I mean who would order the GT-R Egoist with that kind of interior color? Pink with the black/red dashboard? Not that type for a hardcore car enthusiast but I bet only a woman can drive that car with that kind of interior.

Those 20 interior combinations can be more like the flight stewardesses saying "Coffee, tea, orange juice" all the time. The main question is, if you have the chance to buy the GT-R Egoist, which interior combination do you want? Some like it brown, some like it white, some like it coffee, and few like it pink. But everything's OK because this is an exclusive Egoist treat you will never forget.

For a trivia, the Egoist interior were made possible by Seton Company, Inc., in Muelheim, Germany, a company specializes in leather. Take note that the Wajima Lacquer badging for the GT-R was made possible by the renowned Japanese lacquer craftsman, Sakae Kubota. 

Needless to say that this Egoist carries every single world-class detail from world-class people.

In Japan, when if its on sale this November, there are eccentric dealer options available for the GT-R Egoist, such as the Tote Bag (with a choice of brown or white) and a racing suit hanger to hang your clothes.

The Egoist is the best GT-R variant for those who want to customize the GT-R's interior the way they want the same was as what they did on the Lexus LS' L-Select program. It's so sweet, that the interior color can be mixed and matched depending on your type. Do you think someone would go for the GT-R Egoist with the pink interior? I think so, but there are other interior combinations offered to give out its "coffee, tea, orange juice" experience for the wealthy. 

Now all we need is some in-flight meal to enjoy ourselves.
