The R35 GTR made its debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, and its launch to the Japanese market was the 6th December 2007. It was launched to the U.S.A July 07, 2008. The R35 has its engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch gearbox built by hand, limiting production to around 1000 cars a month. The Nissan GTR also features the world's first independent transaxle 4WD developed by Nissan.

Although the Nissan R35 GTR no longer carrys the "Skyline" badge, it has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Just like its predecessors, the "R32-R34", the R35 is all-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine. But thats about all they have in common, the traditional Straight-6 RB26DETT engine has been replaced with a new V6 VR38DETT, also the four-wheel-steering HICAS system has been removed. The R35 GTR, with the chassis code CBA-R35 or 'R35' is carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GTRs. It has also retained the nickname "Godzilla".

The first R35 concept was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001 to show how the 21st century GTR would look. Nissan unveiled a redesigned concept at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the GTR Proto, stating that the production GTR would be 80-90% based on this concept.

The creators of the Gran Turismo series of racing video games, were contracted to design the GTR's multifunction display. The Nissan GTR gives ultimate performance for virtually every driving condition whether it be on the Nurburgring circuit, on snow, rain or urban streets, it is all manageable to the GTR driver through the advanced technology and driving dynamics.

Nissan have claimed the GTR will reach a top speed of 195 mph "314 km/h" and that the R35 has been tested to achieve 0-60 mph "97 km/h" times as low as 3.2 seconds. Nissan have also claimed a lap time of 7:29 sec using standard Japanese market tires, which makes the GTR currently one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nürburgring circuit. Porsche have accused Nissan of falsifying these claims, Porsche conducted their own test of the R35 GTR using no modifications and stock tires and achieved a best time of 7:54. Nissan have officially disputed Porsche's claim in October 2008. Another independent test recorded a time of 7:50, although one key corner of the track was damp. The GTR currently holds a lap time of 1:19.7 around the Top Gear Test Track, "equal with the Ferrari F430 Scuderia". On the Las Vegas Motor Speedway infield road course, Motor Trend were able to achieve lap times with the GTR that were equal to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and Porsche 911 GT2 and only 3 seconds slower than the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
