Nissan GT-R value and depreciation
Known for supercar pace at a discount.
Depreciation curve
We class the Nissan GT-R as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 52% after three years and 35% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

Nissan sold the R35 GT-R in SA from 2009 until 2022. Its twin-turbo V6 and all-wheel drive delivered supercar pace at well below Porsche 911 Turbo money. Well-kept cars hold their value strongly, especially the limited editions.
