Nissan executive Pierre Loing says the automaker was effectively forced to end production of the R35 GT-R due to regulations
A Nissan executive says the brand would keep the GT-R on sale, but regulations prevent it. He also admits that defining a next-gen GT-R for the electrified car market is challenging. A replacement appears to be on the table for 2028, with solid-state batteries playing a key role. The R35 Nissan GT-R is old enough to go see Deadpool and Wolverine. Next year, though, it'll leave production and the automaker doesn't have anything to take over for the 2025/2026MY.
We showed the GT-R concept in 2001, ended R34 Skyline GT-R production in 2002, then the R35 didn’t launch until 2007. The gap between the ‘Kenmeri’ Skyline GT-R ending in 1975 and the R32 starting in 1989 was even larger, Loing added. The GT-R is strong enough to live with these gaps in its production. And we need to have a gap, because going into the electrified world, there is a lot of debate about ‘what is a GT-R in an era of electrification?’ We don’t have all the answers yet.
