The legend has finally taken its last bow. After 18 years of ruling the roads and earning the nickname “Godzilla,” the Nissan GT-R R35 has officially rolled off the production line in Japan. The final car? A stunning Midnight Purple Premium Edition T-Spec—a proper farewell to one of the most iconic supercars ever built.
18 Years of Raw Power
Launched back in 2007, the GT-R R35 wasn’t just another sports car—it was a supercar killer. With blistering speed, insane handling, and technology years ahead of its time, it embarrassed Ferraris and Porsches while costing a fraction of their price. Over the years, Nissan produced nearly 48,000 units, turning it into a global performance icon.
The Last of Its Kind
The final GT-R was completed in August 2025 at Nissan’s Tochigi plant. The Midnight Purple finish is a nod to the GT-R’s legendary color palette, and enthusiasts worldwide are already calling it a collector’s dream. For fans, it feels like saying goodbye to a superhero.
What’s Next?
Before you shed too many tears, Nissan has made it clear—this isn’t the end of the GT-R story. The brand has promised that “GT-R will evolve and reemerge in the future.” Rumors suggest the upcoming R36 might bring electrification, with concept cars like the mind-blowing 1,341-hp Hyper Force EV giving us a taste of what’s to come.
Farewell, Godzilla
For now, though, the R35 takes its place in history as one of the longest-running and most beloved performance cars ever built. From Tokyo streets to Hollywood films and racing tracks across the world, the GT-R leaves behind a legacy few cars can match.
So here’s the big question for fans: Would you still call it Godzilla if the next GT-R goes electric?
