Overview

  • The R35’s 18‑year run totals roughly 48,000 cars, marking one of the longest production spans for a modern performance model.
  • Each car used a 3.8‑liter twin‑turbo V6 hand‑assembled by nine Takumi artisans in Yokohama, with every engine bearing the assembler’s signature.
  • Nissan confirms the final car was a Premium T‑Spec in Midnight Purple for a Japanese buyer, closing out sales in the model’s last remaining market.
  • CEO Iván Espinosa says the GT‑R will return in the future, though no development plans, specifications, or launch window have been disclosed.
  • The R35 leaves a notable motorsport record, including Super GT class titles and a 7:08.679 Nürburgring lap set by a NISMO‑tuned example in 2013.
