Nissan GT-R R35 is ending its European journey

Nissan has officially announced that it will stop producing the GT-R R35 sports model for the European market by the end of this month. It all started in 2009 when the first Nissan GT-R was introduced, and now due to strict European norms on noise regulation in cities but also strict rules on exhaust emissions, the Nissan GT-R is ending its European journey.

The Nissan GT-R R35 is powered by a 3.8 L twin-turbocharged V6 engine whose power has, over time, grown from the original 487 hp (358 kW) in the 2009 model to 608 hp (447 kW) in the current model. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with manual shifting mode. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (315 km / h).

And while the Japanese car company is still considering whether the new Nissan Z will sell in Europe at all, the awesome GT-R R35 will be remembered as one of the best super sports cars of all time.
