www.nissanusa.comHere’s the latest on Nissan Skyline GT-R:
-
Current status in early 2026: The R35 GT-R has entered a final production phase with limited edition variants such as Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition, primarily targeted at the North American market, and production is winding down for that region. This marks the end of an era for the modern GT-R lineage as Nissan shifts focus toward future performance technologies, including electric concepts.
-
Limited editions and pricing (NA market): The Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition were announced as send-off models, with pricing around six-figure MSRPs and limited unit availability, highlighting a formal retirement of the GT-R in North America. These editions emphasize unique paint schemes, interior finishes, and dedicated badges to honor the GT-R’s heritage.
-
Global availability and future outlook: While North American production is concluding, Nissan has indicated continued focus on future performance innovations, including electric performance concepts (e.g., electric GT-R concepts) that may appear later in the decade, though concrete timelines remain unconfirmed.
