For Nissan fans, very sad news arrives, with an entire era that has completely ended. Let’s find out what happened.
The brand Nissan is one of the points of reference in the car market, a Japanese giant that is significantly changing its vision of the product. Indeed, has unveiled several full electric cars, including a monstrous concept with over 1,000 kW of power maximuma model that obviously will not be put into production, but which will be useful for developing future technologies.
Well, Nissan has now announced some real bombshell news, a closing of an era that certainly won’t make fans rejoice. A historic car, one of the most loved in history and which also has a very successful racing history, which however we will never see again in the future, at least in one part of the world. Let’s find out what it is and when the decision will become effective.
Nissan, goodbye to the GT-R in the United States
There Nissan has produced a large number of iconic cars, but is not known for being a supercar manufacturer. However, the GT-R is the exception that proves the rule, but after 17 years of production, it will no longer be built for the USA. In fact, production for the North American market will be discontinued in October. The car will be commemorated with two special versions, the Takumi Edition and the Skyline Edition, two jewels that will certainly be highly sought after by collectors and those who will be able to take them home.
The Skyline edition will be based on the premium model, and will be offered in a single color tone, Bayside Blue, and will be sold at a price of 132,985 dollars, certainly an important figure, but it must be taken into account that by purchasing it, you will be putting an iconic car in your home that symbolizes the end of an era. The performance is exceptional, with a top speed of over 300 km/h and an aerodynamic load reminiscent of a racing car, a truly well-paid expense for those who can do it.
Available, as mentioned, there is also the Takumi Edition, which will cost a little more, namely 152,985 dollars, and both are equipped with the prodigious 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, with 565 horsepower of maximum power, combined with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive. As mentioned, production of one of the most beloved Nissans will end in October, and there couldn’t be a better way to say goodbye to it.
