Has the time for the Nissan GT R come and gone in 2025 or is it still worth buying?

Question

The Nissan GT-R has been on the scene since 2007 with only minor updates over the years. Once hailed as a giant killer, able to outperform supercars that cost many times more, others claim newer competitors have either caught up or even surpassed it in performance, technology, or overall refinement. The GT-R is raw, mechanical and underpinned by enthusiast credos: it's a bit retro compared to modern competitors. The price of the car has gone up significantly ever since its debut, and for some it's no longer the bargain it once was. Rumors about a next generation GT R have not been confirmed yet, and so, potential buyers are left wondering whether they should still buy the current model or look elsewhere to fulfill their high performance fix.

Certainly the GT-R is showing its age, but that's part of its charm. It’s one of the few remaining ‘old school’ supercars that doesn’t feel like a video game to drive. If you are willing to sacrifice some modern conveniences but want something with character, go for it.

I’d say it’s still worth it if you get a used one. The new GT Rs are just too expensive for what they are. Then pick up a 2-3 year old model and you'll save a ton and still have a great machine.

What you’re after depends. Perhaps look elsewhere if you want the latest and greatest. If you like engineering and you want something different, the GT-R is still great. It has a huge aftermarket if you want to mod it, plus.

Nah, it's way overpriced now. For the same money you can buy a newer Porsche or Corvette that'll smoke it in performance and have way better tech. Ten years ago, GT-R was cool, but now it's just nostalgia.

@kuldeep-te · Answer

Absolutely worth it! Though the GT R may be aging, it is still a beast on the track and attracts heads everywhere. There is nothing else that gives you that raw, mechanical feel anymore. It's a time machine for when cars were a little more analog.
