The model year 2025 will be the last for the Nissan GT-R, Mag-X reports quoting unofficial sources. According to these reports, the company will make an official announcement regarding the fate of the GT-R in a few days. It is allegedly already working on a farewell edition for the iconic sports car, which will be capped at 1,500 units.
The insiders claim that the company is facing increasing difficulty sourcing compliant parts and components for the GT-R. There are no further details at this moment.
We are told that the final production batch of 1,500 GT-R cars will include 300 top-of-the-line Nismo examples. It remains unknown whether the batch will be Japan-exclusive or available in other countries as well.
At this point, one could call the R35 Nissan GT-R a long-lived vehicle. It debuted in 2007 as a standalone model no longer tied to the Skyline lineup and has since received multiple refreshes, but never a new generation. In 2021, it went out of sale in a number of regions including Europe and Australia, with its domestic market of Japan following suit in 2022. Since then, rumors have been claiming that a completely new GT-R was coming soon. In the fall of 2022, however, Nissan restarted the production of the old model.
The most recent GT-R facelift took place in 2023. It left the sports car with a revised body it and a new trim version called T-spec, which had 20-inch wheels and a different interior fit-and-finish. Things stayed the same under the hood, where the base spec has a 3.8-liter V6 rated at 573 PS (565 hp / 421 kW). The Nismo spec coaxes 608 PS (600 hp / 447 kW) out of the same engine. It also benefits from sports-friendly tweaks to the suspension and aerodynamics.
