- The current Nissan GT-R will be reportedly be discontinued following the 2025 model year, according to Japanese publication Mag X.
- The report claims that Nissan told Japanese dealers this will be the R35 generation’s las year of production due to the inability to produce parts in the future.
- Mag X’s report also claims that details about the 2025 Nissan GT-R will be shared tomorrow, March 14, and that only 1500 copies will be sold.
The Nissan GT-R R35’s run could be coming to an end, which wouldn’t be all that surprising. The iconic Japanese sports car entered its current generation all the way back in 2009. While it has since received various updates, and its base price has increased by over $50K, the all-wheel-drive monster lovingly known as Godzilla is largely the same. However, 2025 might be its last model year if a report out of Japan is true.
Mag X, a Japanese auto publication, last week claimed to have a scoop that Nissan will be discontinuing the R35-generation GT-R after next year. The original story, which CarBuzz last Friday first shared with English-speaking audiences, claims Nissan told Japanese dealers that the decision to end production of the current GT-R was due to the fact that the company won’t be able to produce many of the car’s parts in the future.
While it remains to be seen if the Mag X report is true or not, we might not have to wait very long, as the outlet also claims that Nissan will reveal the 2025 GT-R tomorrow, March 14. The automaker’s announcement will supposedly include details about the final model year’s limited-production numbers. It’s reported that only 1500 examples will be sold, with 300 of them said to be the high-performance NISMO variant. It’s also not clear whether or not those are global production numbers.
We reached out to one of Nissan’s U.S. spokespersons regarding the report that the GT-R R35 will both end production after the 2025 model year and be limited to 1500 units. However, they told Car and Driver that they can’t comment on future product plans.
Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
