New Nissan Skyline GT-R
Firstly, have a look at the Video below, as far as we can tell its Germany’s Nürburgring (however upon further investigation our readers have said its most likely filmed in the US):
www.drive.com.auHere’s the latest I can provide on Nissan Skyline GT-R, synthesized from recent coverage up to 2024–2025.

The R35 generation GT-R has reached a farewell phase in some markets. Nissan announced limited-edition send-offs for North America in 2024, including the Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition, ahead of production winding down for the NA market in 2024–2025. This signals a transition away from the current GT-R lineup in key regions.
-
In 2024, Nissan highlighted a shift toward future performance initiatives, including electric concepts like the Hyper Force, indicating that the brand is prioritizing electrified performance beyond the R35’s lifecycle. This contextualizes the GT-R’s status as a historic milestone rather than a core product going forward.
-
Global coverage over the years has varied by market, with some regions continuing limited production or branding variations, while others paused or ended GT-R supply. The Skyline/GT-R name remains iconic and continues to appear in anniversaries, museum-style retrospectives, and enthusiast discussions rather than as a primary new-model program in most mainstream markets.
-
For historical context, the GT-R has evolved from early Skyline generations to the R35, with notable performance milestones and a strong aftermarket and motorsport presence. This legacy persists in automotive culture, even as official new-model activity slows in several regions.
Illustration: If you’re curious about visuals, I can show a quick side-by-side image gallery comparing the R35 Skyline GT-R editions (Skyline Edition, Takumi Edition) and a concept image of the Hyper Force electric GT-R for a sense of design evolution.
Would you like a brief timeline of GT-R milestones by generation, or a focused update for a specific country (e.g., France, US, Japan)? I can also pull the latest official Nissan statements and recent press coverage if you specify a region.
