Nissan has introduced some updates for the GT-R in the Japanese market for the upcoming model year, including the addition of a new blue interior option and Nismo enhancements for the T-Spec and Track Edition models. It is speculated that the 2025 Nissan GT-R will mark the end of the R35 generation, which has remained in production since its debut in 2007.
Although believed to be the final model year, there are no changes to the exterior design of the GT-R for 2025, as it retains the refreshed styling introduced with the 2024 facelift. Similarly, the interior remains largely unchanged, with the exception of the GT-R Premium Edition now offering a new Blue Heaven upholstery option, adding a touch of elegance to the cabin.
Under the hood, the 2025 GT-R sees minimal alterations, with the Premium Edition T-Spec and Track Edition receiving upgrades previously exclusive to the Nismo Special Edition. These enhancements include high-precision weight-balanced piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshafts, resulting in improved engine performance characterized by quicker revs and faster turbo spooling. Notably, these upgraded components are identified by special aluminum and gold plates bearing the name of the engineer responsible for their craftsmanship.
The powertrain configuration remains unchanged, with the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 565 horsepower in the standard GT-R and 600 horsepower in the Nismo flagship, which also benefits from a bespoke chassis setup.
The 2025 Nissan GT-R is now available for ordering in Japan, with initial deliveries expected in June. Pricing has been adjusted upwards compared to the previous year, starting at $97,703 for the entry-level GT-R Pure Edition and reaching $207,088 for the top-tier GT-R Nismo Special Edition. According to a report by the Japanese publication Mag X, production of the 2025 Nissan GT-R may be limited to 1,500 units, although this information has yet to be officially confirmed by Nissan.
The future direction of the GT-R was hinted at with the unveiling of the fully electric Nissan Hyper Force concept at the Japan Mobility Show. Despite its futuristic appearance, the Hyper Force concept was deemed feasible for production, with senior executives suggesting a potential launch by the end of the decade.
