2008 Nissan GT-R Brochure
The 2008 GT-R arrived as a three-body proposition: the fixed-roof coupe, the removable-roof variant, and the track-focused edition. Under the bonnet sat a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 485 horsepower, paired with Nissan's sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

2009 Nissan GT-R Brochure

2010 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2010, the GT-R lineup offered buyers a rare choice: a single-model strategy built around uncompromising performance. The coupé body housed a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 530 horsepower, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. No soft variants, no diluted trim levels—just one focused machine that redefined what a Japanese supercar cou
2011 Nissan GT-R Brochure
The 2011 GT-R's 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged engine produced 485 horsepower, positioning it squarely against the Porsche 911 Turbo and Lamborghini Gallardo.

UK buyers found raw performance without the exotic badge markup.
2012 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2012, the GT-R had established itself as North America's answer to European supercars, and the Canadian market received the full 530-horsepower twin-turbocharged package. Nissan's Canadian distributor offered the coupe in a single, well-equipped specification—no detuned variants here. Against the Corvette and imported rivals, the GT-R's all-wheel-drive traction and sub-3-sec
2013 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2013, the GT-R had already proven itself against the world's fastest machinery—yet it faced a curious market position. American buyers weighed it against the Corvette and Viper; European rivals focused on Ferrari and Lamborghini.

2014 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2014, the GT-R had settled into its role as the accessible supercar—a machine that delivered hypercar performance without the European pedigree or the astronomical price.

2015 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2015, the GT-R lineup offered buyers a choice that few rivals could match: the standard coupe, the Track Edition for circuit work, and the NISMO variant pushing the 3.8-litre twin-turbo to 600 hp.

2016 Nissan GT-R Brochure
The 2016 GT-R retained its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6, now tuned to deliver 570 horsepower through a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch gearbox.

North American buyers could configure Pure, Premium, or Nismo vari
2017 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2017, the R35 had matured into a formidable weapon across North American markets, where buyers weighed it against the Corvette C7 and Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

Canada and the US received identical specifications tha
2018 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2018, the GT-R faced a crowded supercar grid that didn't exist when the R35 debuted. The Acura NSX had returned, Corvette offered mid-engine drama, and Porsche's 911 Turbo commanded respect.

2019 Nissan GT-R Brochure

The brochure emphasized track pedigree over luxury posturing, targeting buyers who val
2021 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2021, the GT-R had become the aging supercar that refused to fade.

Buyers still chose it over younger competitors for its raw, proven performance.
2022 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2022, the GT-R's lineup remained anchored to three core variants: the base model, the Premium trim, and the Track Edition, each configured for different driving priorities.

2023 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2023, the R35's 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 had been refined to deliver 565 horsepower through an advanced all-wheel-drive system that still set the benchmark for quarter-mile acceleration.

2024 Nissan GT-R Brochure
By 2024, the GT-R faced a crowded hypercar segment yet remained a dual-market proposition: the Philippines received right-hand-drive units while the US market got left-hand-drive versions.

2004 Nissan GT-R Nismo Z Tune Brochure
Against the backdrop of 2004's hypercar arms race, the Z Tune stood as Nissan's final statement on the R34 platform. Its 500 hp twin-turbo 2.6-litre engine competed not with road cars but with the expectations set by years of tuning culture and motorsport heritage. Buyers seeking the ultimate naturally-aspirated-era GT-R found it here, in Japan-only exclusivity.
1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R Brochure

1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R Brochure
The 1995 R33 reached Japanese showrooms as the definitive expression of Nissan's racing pedigree, available exclusively in the home market where buyers understood what 320 horsepower from a 2.6-litre twin-turbo meant.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R Brochure
By 1999, the R34 Skyline GT-R faced a field transformed since its last redesign.

1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R 4 Door Brochure
By 1997, the four-door Skyline GT-R gave buyers the full range of what the nameplate promised: the twin-turbocharged 2.6-litre engine delivering 280 horsepower, all-wheel drive traction, and now the flexibility of a proper sedan body. Saloon, and the choice between manual or automatic transmission, made this the most accessible GT-R Nissan had ever built for the Japanese market
1996 Nissan Skyline GT-R LM Limited Brochure
By 1996, the R33 GT-R faced an uncertain future as Japanese horsepower restrictions loosened but market appetite shifted. Against rivals like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV and Subaru Impreza 22B, Nissan's swan-song LM Limited held its ground with 280 hp from the 2.6-litre twin-turbo and four-wheel-drive grip that remained unmatched on paper. Japan-only exclusivity made it
2000 Nissan Skyline GT-T Brochure
By 2000, New Zealand's Skyline GT-T buyers found themselves with a turbocharged answer to the Supra: a 2.0-litre six delivering 280 horsepower from twin turbochargers, priced below its Japanese competitors yet offering comparable thrills.
