The long version

Early R35s landed with a generation that wanted a video-game supercar it could actually launch-control off a stoplight, and plenty still get taken to the drag strip on a Saturday because that's the whole point of owning one. The last Nismos are a different buyer entirely — bought in the final model years specifically because the run was ending, insured for storage more than use. Production stopped in 2024 and prices have climbed steadily since, pulling even the harder-used earlier cars toward the same protect-the-asset thinking that already governs the Nismos.
