Video: Follow Nissan’s Takumi through a GT-R engine

Using human senses to measure what machines can’t. Besides a stunning vote for mankind, this is the mantra that Nissan’s Takumi engineers, these master craftsman, swear by. Like AMG they live by this ‘one man, one engine’ philosophy and with only five certified Takumi engine builders allowed to work on the 2017 Nissan GT-R, it’s a pretty honorable responsibility.

Go behind the scenes with the mysterious Takumi and earn a new respect for one of the fastest accelerating cars on the planet.
