Of course, the GT-R has long been nicknamed “Godzilla,” so it’s little wonder it has remained a mighty force on the roads since its 2009 U.S. debut. Though it’s received updates and tweaks over the years, the GT-R’s age was beginning to shine through, making the car’s departure both inevitable and bittersweet.

A Final Farewell – Nissan Verified R35 GT-R Discontinuation: Sad

• When it decided to forgo the 2022 model year, many had speculated about the future of the automobile, but when Nissan brought back the car in a surprising twist for the 2023 model year, it sent fans spiraling back into some kind of hope that it may actually stay in the long run.

• Now, Nissan has finally confirmed the exit of GT-R, but not without giving a last bash in spectacular fashion. A special edition to mark the final production year aside, the flagship GT-R will come in its usual variants -the base Premium, mid-range T-spec and the performance edition Nismo.

• First comes the Skyline Edition, painted in the eye-catchingly bright Bayside Blue with an exclusivity of Sora Blue used in the interior that, in their way, captures the heritage of the car.
• On the other hand, is T-spec Takumi Edition that has its own set of features-outside in the form of Midnight Purple, while inside a different tone is continued through the use of Mori Green.
  The price for the last copies was announced: the Skyline Edition starts with $132,985, while T-spec Takumi Edition now costs $152,985.

A Legacy Defined – Nissan Verified R35 GT-R Discontinuation: Sad

Introduced to North America in 2009, the GT-R sounded great with 480 horsepower and arrived with a sticker price of $69,850, a relative value for a supercar given that it competed with cars that were three times more expensive, like the Porsche 911 Turbo.

Years went by, and the GT-R’s name became more and more associated with pop culture through video games such as Gran Turismo and films like The Fast and the Furious. It is now an icon.

The years past, and the GT-R continued evolving. Its horsepower increased to 565 in standard models and 600 in the Nismo version that is supposed to hit the track. The cost followed and today, Nismo costs an astonishing $222,985.

While Nissan will eventually bid adieu to the GT-R in North America, buzz has been circulating that there may still be enough interest to warrant production in other corners of the globe.

An R36 successor may eventually have to rear its head for that reason alone, but not now. Fans can only indulge in these final editions with all the glory and thrills of a car that changed supercar history for life.
