Nissan has formally stopped taking bookings for its 2022 GT-R in Japan, which might be the final time the company sells the R35-generation GT-R. Exclusively in its home market of Japan, the 2022 GT-R was introduced in high-end T-spec and Nismo variants. Due to pollution rules, it was removed from Australia and banned from Europe earlier this year; nonetheless, the U.S. launches were designated as 2021 models.
Nissan made the official announcement that the vehicles’ sales had come to an end on May 3 “since the number of orders has reached the intended sales level.”
In response to CarScoops’ inquiry about the GT-future, R’s Nissan said, “Only the GT-R T-spec and NISMO Special Edition cars were designated as the 2022 GT-R, while the T-spec and NISMO Special Edition models were designated as 2021s in the U.S. We are unable to discuss further on upcoming product announcements or plans outside of those models.”
The GT-R R35 has a 15-year history, having made its début in December 2007. We’ll have to wait and watch if it survives to see a 2023 release or is replaced by a new hybrid R36-generation GT-R.

Comments on There won’t be a 2022 Nissan GT-R in America as Millennium Jade history repeats
Either way, the conclusion was inevitable. The R35 has too many components that can effect fuel economy and emissions for the same course to be realistically pursued. the GR6 lacks the gearing range of a 7 or 8 speed DCT, conventional hydraulic power steering, a 12V electrical system without stop/start or hybridization, only port injection, the list goes on and on. It rarely sells, so it doesn’t really count against CAFE, but I’m sure that at some time it would need to meet CARB’s LEV III requirements, which have greater emissions limits than ULEV.
Where does the GT-R even go from here is the problem. Nissan pioneered affordable performance, but with expenses rising at an exponential rate, it doesn’t seem like something that can be sustained. Pure performance also doesn’t seem to sell as many automobiles as it once did.
The R35 will be much missed. However, I remain optimistic that Nissan will eventually stop hiding the one and only R36. for the GT-R36, with a ton more features and packages. adding additional torque and horsepower to make it go faster. However, it’s also greener. I’ll thus continue to think about the GT-R36 and let others know about it in the hopes that Nissan will eventually show the vehicle and announce that it will soon be available in North America.
It will take 1-2 years for the Porsche 911 Hybrid Turbo to be released, which is scheduled for sale in 2023–2024. Nissan wants to make sure that when it is released, it outperforms it on the Nurburgring.
Nissan’s JDM 2022 GT-R is out of stock.
Every seven years, Volkswagen typically introduces a completely new model. But the Japanese automaker has truly lost ground when it comes to Nissan. For instance, the 370Z was produced from 2009 to 2020. The GT-R, which debuted in 2007, is the worst offender, though.
Volkswagen had ample time to introduce two models of the Golf at that point (15 years ago). Speaking of which, the Mk 5 was in production at the time, and the Mk 8 is now here. There is more unpleasant news to come.
The R35 used to have a starting price of $69,850 for the base specification when it was first introduced as a 2009 model in the United States of America. In today’s freedom eagles, that is equivalent to $93,605 after inflation. Make an educated prediction as to the R35’s price for the 2022 model year. Given that the C8 Corvette Z06 costs $113,540 before taxes and options, many individuals could prefer that vehicle due to its flat-plane crank V8 and supercar-slaying performance.
The R35 was abandoned in Australia in October 2021 due to side impact laws, having been discontinued in Europe and the United Kingdom in March 2022 due to noise requirements. The venerable age of this car is obvious, but there remains one unsolved query. When will the R35 finally disappear? Considering the most recent events in Japan, it might happen as soon as 2022.
Ordering for the 2022 Nissan GT-R in the Land of the Rising Sun is no longer an option “since the number of orders has exceed the anticipated sales volume.” Remembering that the R35 isn’t a high-volume vehicle like the Volkswagen Golf in the EU/UK or the Ford Explorer in the United States of America makes that choice of words quite intriguing.
We must also keep in mind that prospective buyers were advised on Subaru’s Japanese website that the order books for the first-generation BRZ will close in July 2020. The first almost-production-ready prototype of the second-generation BRZ was spotted by the carparazzi one month later.
Exactly six variations of the JDM R35 are available right now, with the Pure Edition costing Y=10,828,400 (about $83,630 at the current exchange rate). On the other hand, the Track Edition Engineered by NISMO T-Spec costs Y=17,881,600, or around $138,130.
On that topic, here’s anticipating Nissan’s announcement on what the future holds for the R35, which still has a very distinct air of something special.
However, it is still accessible in the US.
Even though it was introduced in 2007, the Nissan GT-R in R35 form is still recognized as one of the world’s most capable supercars. Although a brand-new successor might or might not be in the works, the Japanese manufacturer is already ceasing production of the present generation of the Godzilla in several regions of the world. It appears that Europe will also be bidding farewell to the performance car, after Nissan Australia’s decision to terminate the GT-R in Australia due to tighter crash standards.
Many European nations no longer sell the GT-R, according to Autoblog.nl. Nissan’s dealers are not taking orders for the supercar in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, or other nations, however you may presumably still get one in Germany and Belgium, for instance. Additionally, the GT-R is not listed on the company’s official websites in those nations. The Godzilla is departing the European market, at least temporarily, due to the region’s tighter pollution regulations, Nissan confirmed to the Dutch daily.
20 units will reportedly be the maximum produced.
Nissan has two of the oldest performance vehicles still on the market today in the 370Z and GT-R. While the latter won’t transition to the new generation any time soon, the former will eventually be renewed later this month (at least in prototype form). In reality, according to a recent article from the Japanese publication Best Car Web, we won’t see it until at least 2023.
When Nissan is allegedly going to release a Final Edition in 2022, the R35 Godzilla will reportedly end its reign with a 710-horsepower boom. By then, it will be close to 15 years old, and its final release is anticipated to be a small batch with a cap of around 20 units. The GT-R50 by Italdesign, with its potent 575 pound-feet (780 Newton-meters) of torque, is said to share a powertrain with the special edition, which would explain why that horsepower figure may seem familiar.
After 13 years, the R35 Nissan GT-R was withdrawn in Europe.
The Nissan GT-R R35 is coming to an end. Due to non-compliance with new safety standards in the country, notably side impact regulations as set forth in the Australia Design Rules 85/00, the 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 coupe was removed from sale in Australia last September (ADR 85).
In light of new noise limits that will take effect on the continent later this year, the Nissan GT-R has now been discontinued for the European market, according to an official document seen by Autocar.
“We can confirm that European GT-R production will end in March 2022 due to the new EU & UK drive-by noise regulations starting 1st of July 2021 (No. 540.2014),” Nissan said in a statement to the magazine. “13 years after its European introduction as the icon of accessible automotive high performance.”
The R35-generation GT-R was considered unable to comply with the impending laws, which are intended to reduce road noise and seek to lessen sound-induced stress for pedestrians and those who live near roadways. According to Autocar, these laws will get much stricter for engine noises, whose limit will be lowered to 68 dB by 2026.
The VR38DETT 3.8 liter biturbo V6 engine, in its most potent form, powers the GT-R50 by Italdesign limited-run edition with 720 PS and 780 Nm of torque. The transmission has always been a six-speed dual-clutch automatic that sends power to all four wheels.
The “R36” successor is rumored to be similarly related to the present vehicle and is scheduled to debut in 2023. The 3.8 liter V6 engine might still be used in this, and there have also been unverified rumors of a hybrid drive in the past.
Expect To Wait A Few More Years for the Release Date Of The ‘R36’ Nissan GT-R
The Nissan Vision Gran Turismo concept was unveiled more than five years ago. Knowing that the upcoming GT-R would take aesthetic cues from the remarkable vehicle, we examined its angular flanks. Today, though, and the R35 is still available, but increasingly older and costlier.
A replacement is not at all likely. According to Motoring, Nissan has not yet decided whether the R36 will be a hybrid or an all-electric vehicle. It is still only at the discussion stage. Hiroshi Tamura, the head of the GT-R program, gave some insights to the journal about the current status of the future GT-development. R’s “It’s in my head, but not for the outside. So no one is aware. I can’t tell you, he said, but I can say that there is already talk of a next-generation [GT-R]. discussing the answers.”
Tamura-san isn’t saying much right now, but it’s very obvious that we won’t be seeing a production car for a while. Does that imply that when production of the R35 finishes, the GT-R will no longer exist? No, not always.
Tamura-san asserts that the R32, R33, and R34 Skyline GT-R generations were essentially the same vehicles underneath and believes the R35 may last for 20 years. “R35 is indeed long [ancient]. However, it is almost a new body shape for the 2017 model year. Technology is the body “said he.
The R35’s production life may be extended to the point that it will no longer be available for purchase before the R36 hits the showrooms. The only issue for Tamura-san, who is 58, is that it will happen after the age of 60 when retirement is required. Early in the life of the next car, he will be making the decisions before handing the reins to someone else. We are eager to see what kind of GT-R legacy he leaves.
Will the Nissan GTR be phased out?
After 13 years of competing in the European car market, the Nissan GTR has been officially terminated as of April 2022, but not for the reasons you may expect.
How will Nissan GTR be replaced?
Nissan and NISMO have introduced the new Z-model GT500 vehicle, which will take the place of the departing GT-R in the portfolio of the Japanese automaker beginning in 2022.
The Z is a brand-new automobile that will compete against the Honda NSX-GT and the Toyota GR Supra in the premier division of Japan’s Super GT championship in 2019.
The vehicle is based on Nissan’s seventh-generation Z road car, which will make its debut in 2023. Although the competition version’s technical specifications have not been made public, GT500 cars must be powered by 2-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engines.
The GT-R, which served as the foundation of Nissan’s premier Super GT model from the 2008 season until its final campaign this year, is replaced by the Z.
Five championship championships were won by Nissan driver teams in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015.
The business has previously promoted Z vehicles, such as the Fairlady Z33, in which Richard Lyons and Satoshi Motoyama won the 2004 JGTC championship.
Nissan CEO Ashwani Gupta remarked, “The Nissan Z GT500 epitomizes Nissan’s attitude of taking on challenges and bringing exhilaration to life.
“Through our racing endeavors, we continue to reinvent our cars and strive to win with the same boldness we have demonstrated so often throughout the years,” the company’s website reads.
“We are entering the 2022 Super GT series with our all-new Nissan Z GT500 car and our enormous passion for motorsports,” NISMO President and CEO Takao Katagiri continued.
We really hope that Nissan and the NISMO motorsport teams will continue to enjoy the ardent support of our fans.
Video of the new Z GT500 being driven at Fuji Speedway, including a fast lap by factory driver Ronnie Quintarelli, was shown by Nissan as it was unveiled.
