The Nissan GT-R R35 was on sale for about 17 years! It was also available in India
After a remarkable 17-year production run, Nissan has announced the end of the R35 GT-R, set for October 2024. Known for its impressive performance and iconic status, the Godzilla has been a notable presence in the performance car market since its debut in 2007.
The current generation GT-R replaced the R34 Skyline GT-R in 2007. Over the course of its production run, the GT-R received two significant updates, several special editions and numerous performance enhancements to maintain its competitiveness against new rivals and evolving market regulations.
Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 570 hp, the GT-R features a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system. This combination has made it a favorite in tuning circles, with some modified versions reaching over 1000 hp. The GT-R was available in India from 2016 to 2022.
As a farewell gesture, Nissan USA is introducing two special edition models: the Skyline Edition and the Takumi Edition. The Skyline Edition is distinguished by its unique Bayside Blue exterior and matching blue interior. The Takumi Edition, on the other hand, pays homage to the master craftsmen who hand-assemble each GT-R engine, featuring a Midnight Purple exterior, Mori Green interior and a gold VIN plaque with red engraved script. Both editions are equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes, gold RAYS forged wheels and wider front fenders.
There are no immediate plans for a direct successor to the GT-R. However, Nissan’s Hyper Force electric concept, revealed in October 2023, hints at the next-generation GT-R, which is expected to feature an all-electric powertrain. This new iteration is projected to arrive by the end of the decade.
The GT-R’s legacy as an everyday sports car with exceptional tuning potential ensures it will be fondly remembered by automotive enthusiasts and fans alike.
