Introduction: The popular Nissan GT-R R35 is rumored to conclude production in 2025 according to a recent report by a Japanese publication, Mag X. This development has been attributed to Nissan’s reported inability to produce parts for the model in the future. This article delves into the details surrounding the expected discontinuation of the iconic car, the expected sale of a limited number of 2025 GT-R models, and the current scenarios related to the future predictions.
Announcement of GT-R Discontinuation
The renowned R35 generation Nissan GT-R, introduced in 2009, is set to be discontinued following the 2025 model year as per a report by Japanese publication, Mag X. The publication stated that Nissan informed their Japan dealers about this alleged decision, attributing it to the projected inability to continue producing necessary parts for the vehicle model.
Details of the 2025 GT-R Model
Mag X has also suggested that Nissan is set to disclose details about the 2025 GT-R on March 14, with a production cap of 1500 units. It is unclear if these units represent worldwide production numbers, and Nissan has not confirmed these reports. However, the correct prediction of the limited run of the Japanese version by the publication strengthens the credibility of these rumours.
End of an Era: The GT-R Legacy
The expiry of the Nissan GT-R R35 would signal the end of an era for the spectacular sports car that debuted its current generation more than a decade ago. Affectionately termed ‘Godzilla,’ the vehicle has undergone multiple updates since 2009, with a price surge of over $50,000 yet largely maintaining its original features.
Inability to Confirm Future Plans
Upon inquiring about the purported end of the R35 production in 2025 and the limited unit production, Car and Driver received no comment from a Nissan U.S spokesperson pertaining to future production plans.
The Future of the Nissan GT-R
Even though confirmation has not been officially provided by Nissan about the cessation of the GT-R model after 2025, speculation is ongoing. The reported limited edition production numbers for the last model also add intrigue to the car’s possible future. Regardless of the uncertainty, the GT-R’s impact and legacy in the automobile industry remain long-standing and highly esteemed.
