Overview

• The last R35 is a Midnight Purple Premium T‑Spec assembled at Nissan’s Tochigi plant for a customer in Japan.
• Total production reached approximately 48,000 units over 18 years, with Japan the final market after exits from Australia (2021), Europe (2022) and the US (2024).
• A core team of nine Takumi master craftsmen hand‑built every VR38DETT V6 at Yokohama, with each engine bearing the builder’s nameplate.
• The R35’s performance legacy includes a 7:08.679 Nürburgring lap in 2013 (NISMO), a 59.078s Tsukuba record in 2024, a Bathurst 12‑Hour win and a 304.96 km/h Guinness drift record.
• CEO Ivan Espinosa says the GT‑R name will return “one day,” but Nissan has not set timing or decided on EV versus hybrid for the next generation.
