Over 18 years, the Japanese company produced about 48 thousand units of the GT-R R35. During this time, the model underwent two facelifts and received a number of "charged" versions created by the Nismo division.
All GT-Rs were equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, which was assembled by nine specially trained engineers. In the debut version, the engine produced 480 hp, accelerating the coupe to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and providing a maximum speed of 312 km/h.
Later, Nismo introduced a 600-horsepower modification, but the potential of the unit was much higher. Tuning shops pushed its power to nearly 2000 hp, securing the R35 a cult status in the tuning world alongside the legendary Skyline GT-R R34.
The final version of the R35 was shown in 2023, and by February 2024, Japanese customers had bought all the cars.
What will happen next with the GT-R is still unclear. The company has only confirmed that the name will return. But when this will happen and what the new GT-R will be like remains unknown.
At the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show, the Hyper Force concept was shown, which may have hinted at the design of the future model. In the best-case scenario, a production car will take a few more years to arrive. For comparison: the first R35 concept was presented in 2001, and the model went into production only in 2007.
