2025 Nissan GT-R Debuts In Japan

Despite receiving styling updates for its 2024 iteration, the Nissan GT-R, fondly nicknamed Godzilla, finds itself amidst speculation regarding its future trajectory. However, enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief as Nissan confirms the production of the 2025 model year for its flagship sports coupe, albeit currently confirmed only for the Japanese market.

Enhancements and Additions

The upcoming ’25 GT-R promises to inherit several upgrades from the Nismo Special Editions, adorned with unique badges and introducing a fresh interior color palette. Notably, the Nismo configuration boasts a power boost to 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque, amplifying its performance prowess.

Performance Refinement

Under the hood, the tried-and-tested Nissan VR38DETT engine continues to propel the R35 GT-R, delivering 565 hp and 467 lb-ft of torque in its base configuration in the United States. Japanese variants, such as the Premium Edition T-spec and Track Edition, receive exclusive internal hardware enhancements, promising improved revs and turbo spooling for enhanced performance.

Luxury and Aesthetics

In a nod to luxury, Nissan introduces the “blue heaven” interior option for GT-R Premium models, injecting a vibrant blend of blue tones throughout the cabin, elevating the driving experience.

Uncertainty and Limited Production

While the future beyond the 2025 model remains uncertain, Nissan hints at the limited-production nature of this iteration, signaling exclusivity. With orders now open and sales scheduled to commence in June, enthusiasts can anticipate the next chapter in the GT-R legacy, priced at ¥14,443,000 or $96,899.53, subject to exchange rates and additional fees.
