Farewell to an Icon: Nissan GT-R Bids Goodbye – What’s Next for Godzilla?
The End of an Era: Nissan GT-R Stops Production
After nearly 18 years of dominance, Nissan has officially announced the end of production for the legendary GT-R (R35). This high-performance machine, known as Godzilla, has thrilled car enthusiasts with its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine, all-wheel drive, and a racing heritage that set benchmarks for sports cars worldwide.
Nissan confirmed that orders for the 2025 Nissan GT-R have officially closed, marking the end of this era
Why is Nissan Stopping the GT-R?
There are several reasons behind this decision:
- Stringent emissions regulations across global markets
- Declining sales and rising production costs
- Nissan’s shift towards electrification in the coming years
The next-generation GT-R (R36) is rumored to be fully electric or hybrid, with Nissan showcasing the Hyper Force concept, a 1,000 kW electric supercar, as a possible successor
What This Means for Used Car Buyers
With new GT-R models no longer available, used GT-R prices are expected to rise due to high demand. If you’re considering buying a pre-owned Nissan GT-R, now is the time!
