Nissan GT-R Skyline Is The Godzilla Comeback We Want

A new 2028 Nissan GT-R Skyline concept is being framed as a “Godzilla comeback,” drawing on the heritage of the Skyline line rather than trying to replicate the last U.S.-market GT-R directly. The piece notes that the final R35 GT-R left the U.S. after the 2024 model year, after long dominance and a long list of performance benchmarks. In standard form, the R35’s 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 produced 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft; the NISMO raised output to 600 hp and 481 lb-ft, with 0–60 mph in 2.9 seconds and a six-speed dual-clutch plus all-wheel drive. The imagined 2028 Skyline would return lower, wider, and with thinner headlights, a cleaner hood, and coupe proportions linked to the original Skyline look.
