Nissan is retiring the GT-R.
However, the culprit is not electromobility, but the volume of the sports car.
Yokohama – Year after year, automobile manufacturers around the world are retiring models.
Saying goodbye is easier with some cars than with others.
Like the Nissan GT-R, for example.
The Japanese sports car has won many fans in Europe over the years.
But now it's over, because Nissan is pulling the plug, as reported by 24auto.de.
The successor to the R35, which fans are hoping for and which is now almost 15 years old, will not exist.
You'll have to make do with the limited birthday version of the GT-R from Turin-based engineering and design service provider Italdesign.

But how did the Nissan GT-R suddenly end in Europe?
Does the popular sports car have to give way to electric mobility plans?
In fact, electric mobility plays no role in Nissan's decision.
The reason is relatively banal: the sports car is simply too loud.

At least according to the new drive-by noise regulations that will soon take effect in the EU and Great Britain.
So if you still want to secure a new GT-R before the sports car is sent into well-deserved retirement, you should hurry.
Because Nissan is retiring the GT-R in record time instead of adapting it to the new rules.
