Nissan Ends Production of Iconic R35 GT-R, Future May Be Electric

Japanese automaker Nissan has finally discontinued the production of its iconic sports car GT-R. The longest-running generation of this iconic sports car, called Godzilla, said goodbye by introducing the Midnight Purple T-Spec R35 GT-R. It was the last Nissan GT-R of the R35-generation, whose production began. The R35 generation model lasted in the market for 18 years. A total of 48,000 units of this generation were produced.

T-Spec model gave a great farewell to this GT-R generation. This car was a perfect blend between the stock GT-R and the track-oriented NISMO model. It produced 557 bhp of power through a twin-turbo V6 engine, light alloy wheels, and heritage colours reminiscent of previous GT-R generations.

Each generation of the Nissan GT-R had its own identity. The original model was somewhere between the Datsun 510 and the BMW E9. The R32 Skyline GT-R was a powerful touring car. The R34, the last manual transmission GT-R, became very popular due to the Fast and Furious movie. It was followed by the R35, which lasted for almost two decades and was phased out of production. The R35 was a very advanced car from a technological point of view.
