The R35 GT-R ran largely unchanged in concept for a decade and a half: a hand-assembled 3.8-liter twin-turbo VR38DETT — each engine signed by its takumi builder — driving all four wheels through the ATTESA E-TS system and a rear-mounted dual-clutch transaxle. Continuous annual development took it from 480 hp to 565 hp and beyond in NISMO form. Its giant-killing performance-per-dollar made it a fixture of the supercar conversation from launch to the end of US sales in 2024.
