After almost 20 years on sale, Nissan finally closed the order books on its flagship GT-R sports car, reports Jalopnik.

The R35 GT-R first premiered back in 2007, but Nissan gradually began ending sales for the flagship sports car in various global markets over the past four years.

Now, the final nail is in the GT-R's coffin as the automaker stopped sales at home in Japan.

Nissan first premiered the R35 GT-R at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, where it stunned car fans around the world with its rapid performance and forward-thinking technology.

As such, it stayed on sale way longer than most other cars would, but the writing has been on the wall for Nissan's flagship for several years now.

After sales ceased in Australia in 2021 as a result of new crash test rules, deliveries of the GT-R then stopped in markets like the U.K. and Europe a year later, and U.S. sales finally came to an end in 2024.

Slowly but surely, the GT-R has faced new safety and emissions rules that came into force across the various global markets, and which the 18-year-old design no longer meets.

Now, as Nissan prepares to develop an all-new R36 flagship, the automaker released a statement confirming its demise.

 “We have received many orders for the Nissan GT-R and have now finished accepting orders for the planned production quantity. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for their support since its release in 2007,” the automaker said in its statement.
