This marks the end of a production run spanning almost two decades, with around 48,000units produced and sold worldwide.
The final GT-R unit rolled out of Nissan's Tochigi plant in Japan after 18 years. It is a Premium Edition T-Spec finished in Midnight Purple
The story of the R35 GT-R started at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, first shown as a concept with the production model debuting in 2007. Sales in Japan began late 2007 and it entered GT500 racing in 2008.
Over the years, Nissan also introduced more performance-focused versions like the GT-R Nismo in 2013 & special editions to mark 45 years & 50 years of the ‘GT-R’ nameplate.
In its last stock setup, the GT-R came with a 565 bhp 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine. Power was sent to all four wheels via Nissan’s famed ATESA-ETS AWD system & a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Nissan has confirmed that the iconic nameplate will return sometime in the future. Nissan’s new CEO Ivan Espinosa acknowledged the significance of the badge & said the GT-R will evolve & reemerge in the future.
