Nissan GT-R R35 to Cease Production in 2025
After 17 years on the market, the iconic Nissan GT-R R35 is nearing the end of its production cycle. The 2025 model year is set to be the final iteration of this legendary supercar, described by Nissan as the “culmination” of its breed.
Nissan has officially unveiled the MY25 GT-R range in Japan, with reports indicating that this will be the last model year for the R35 generation. The company has informed distributors in the local market that production of the GT-R will soon come to an end as the necessary parts will no longer be available.
While Nissan has not made an official statement to global media regarding the fate of the GT-R, the company has issued a warning about limited production, hinting that some orders may not be fulfilled. The 2025 model is being touted as the pinnacle of the GT-R line on Nissan’s website, with a message that suggests a new chapter beyond the current model.
According to reputable Japanese publication, Best Car, Nissan officials have confirmed that the 2025 GT-R will be the final version of the iconic supercar, with production scheduled to conclude in August 2025. The report also mentions that development of the next GT-R is already underway.
Speculations suggest that the future GT-R models could be electrified, with possibilities of an electric version or a four-door installment to rival the Porsche Taycan. However, for now, the focus remains on the 2025 R35 series of the GT-R.
The 2025 GT-R introduces new features such as a ‘Blue Heaven’ interior color scheme for the Premium Edition, along with upgrades to the Premium T-Spec Edition and Track Edition. These variants boast weight-balanced components for improved performance, with enhancements to revs and turbo boost.
With a price increase of up to 7 percent in Japan, the 2025 GT-R now ranges from 14,443,000 yen to 30,613,000 yen. This marks a significant increase compared to the original 2007 GT-R which was priced at 7,770,000 yen.
The R35 GT-R has been on sale in Japan since November 6, 2007, making it one of the longest-running supercars in the market. Despite the impending end of production, the legacy of the GT-R is set to continue, with plans for future models already in the works.
As the automotive world prepares to bid farewell to the Nissan GT-R R35, enthusiasts and collectors alike eagerly await the next chapter in the GT-R saga. The 2025 model year will undoubtedly mark the end of an era for this iconic supercar, paving the way for a new era of innovation and performance.
