From reliable source in Japan...
Nissan made a formal announcement today saying they will cease all production of the GTR and Silvia in Aug '02. The announcement comes as lack of demand for un-economical sports vehicles reaches its peak in Japan. Nissan stated that production of a new model GTR may begin again in 4 or 5 years...but no new models are expected anytime soon. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... |

Right from the lions mouth:
Nissan also announced two sports car icons, the Silvia and Skyline GT-R, will cease production in a few months due to stricter emissions laws in Japan. Nissan is offering a "Limited Final Edition" R34 codenamed the NÜR - probably named after Nürburgring track in Germany where Skyline GT-Rs have held lap record times. The NÜR features a gold colored valve cover and beefed up engine block and parts to handle even more power than the "standard" GT-R plus various trim bits to remind the owner of their exclusivity.
Toyota and Mazda will also cease production of the Supra and RX-7s unfortunately.
