Keep in mind the time when the Nissan GT-R was once marketed as a Porsche killer? That’s all the way in which again to 2007, when certainly it was scary to 997 Porsches on the market. That’s a complete 17-year interval since new.
Porsche has already gone via the 991 era and it’s effectively inside the 992 whereas Nissan continues to be providing the very same automotive (albeit with some minor adjustments). It’s no shock that gross sales for the GT-R have averaged only one unit per day throughout 2024.
In keeping with Nissan’s gross sales reviews, the GT-R has not surpassed the 90 autos per 30 days mark since 2018, and 2024 is the 12 months it bought a complete of 77 models throughout Q1, which is lower than 30 per 30 days.
A fast evaluation on the doable causes simply leads us to a hefty value enhance from an authentic $70,000 MSRP to right now’s $123,000. Whereas inflation performs an element on this distinction, it nonetheless suffers a $18,000 variation in value if we alter the unique MSRP for inflation.
Eighty 5 horse energy is all of the automotive has grown in 17 years, not fairly sufficient to justify the value, and whereas the following era is already within the works (as confirmed by Nissan North America’s Senior Vice President), it’s possible that we get both a performance-focused hybrid or that Nissan goes a step past making it an EV.
No precise assertion has been formally made on whether or not this subsequent era will probably be prepared to right away substitute the present GT-R, or in the event that they’re pulling the plug on it and ready on a future return on a brand new platform.
At GTspirit we’ll all be glad to announce no matter information Nissan releases relating to the GT-R, and excited for what’s to come back. Do you assume it’ll return as a Porsche killer?
