This will probably be the last model year

The GT-R, a high-performance model that has been on sale for 17 years since 2007 and “pursues the ultimate in driving pleasure”, will end its production in August 2025, according to Nissan. The reason given is that the parts supply outlook is no longer promising: after the end of sales in Europe in 2022, it was said that the model would also end in Japan due to its inability to adapt to new exterior noise regulations, etc, but Nissan has cleared that problem with a new muffler structure.

Along with this, the 2024 model (announced in March 2023) with improved aerodynamic performance, etc., was built, but the GT-R finally came to an end not because of the regulation of exterior noise or the mandatory use of automatic brakes, as had been said, but because of the parts supply problem, which is typical of “long-life models”.

The second generation R32 Skyline GT-R, incidentally, was introduced in 1989, followed by the R33 in 1995 and the R34 in 1999, before production ended in 2002 due to emissions regulations. It has been in production for approximately 13 years. The R35 will probably be the last internal combustion engine-only GT-R anyway, and like the 2024 model, it will be selected by lottery, so if you are interested, contact Nissan.
