All remaining build slots in Japan are filled, marking the R35 as officially sold out
New European noise regulations led Nissan to withdraw the GT-R from the market in July 2021. In Australia, stricter side-impact standards ended its run that November—an expected outcome given the car’s age.
Debuting in 2007, the GT-R quickly earned its reputation as Japan’s Corvette, delivering supercar-rivaling performance at a fraction of the price. Over nearly two decades, it received only incremental updates and two major facelifts, all while staying true to its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
The R35 launched with 471 horsepower, culminating in the final GT-R Nismo’s 600 hp. While its design remained largely unchanged, Nissan focused on refining what mattered most. Now, the company has time to develop a potential successor. Though there’s no immediate replacement planned, Nissan’s design chief has hinted at a new GT-R arriving before 2030.
For now, rival supercars can breathe easy—though only temporarily. Because Godzilla never truly dies.
