Alarmingly, that was 17 years ago, which would explain my quickly deteriorating hairline. However, the R35 GT-R is aging far better than I am, which is why it's sad to see that 2025 might be its final year, even if it's been a long time coming. *The Drive asked Nissan for a comment and will update this story when we get more information.* According to this report from Japanese car magazine *[Mag X]()*, 2025 will be the final year of the R35-generation [Nissan ]()GT-R and only 1,500 cars will be made, 300 of which will be Nismo models. *Mag X* didn't say whether those 1,500 units will be Japanese market-only, or if they'll be worldwide, but with so few models being made, they might not be available in multiple markets. ![]() **Nissan** The GT-R received a facelift for the 2024 model year, which gave it tweaked visuals and aerodynamics, as well as a power bump for the [Nismo ]()version. While the standard GT-R's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 still makes 565 horsepower, the Nismo GT-R packs 600 horsepower. There's no word on whether the 2025 model will make any more power but Nissan might throw it a few extra ponies for its final sendoff. For younger enthusiasts who may not have already had their driver's licenses when the R35 GT-R was first launched, it may be hard to understand just how impactful it was. When the R35 first hit the scene, it was mind-blowing. It took on the world's fastest supercars and beat most of them. It was a world-dominating supercar that cost half of what its competition from Italy and Germany did. But it was also as comfortable and reliable as you'd expect a Nissan to be while boasting a dealer network and warranty program that couldn't be matched by high-end exotics. The impact the GT-R made on the industry can't be overstated. ![]() **Nissan** So as old as it is, now outshined by countless modern supercars and sports cars, it will still be sad to see the R35 Nissan GT-R go if 2025 is truly its end. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
