This weekly update covers significant news for automotive enthusiasts, including the potential end of the R35 Nissan GT-R's production run. Nissan has announced a limited 2025 model year with special editions featuring Nismo-derived components. Unofficial reports suggest only 1,500 units will be produced, with production ceasing due to parts availability. The successor, the R36, is speculated to be delayed until solid-state battery technology is mature, possibly around 2028-2030, or could even be a heavily revised R35 platform. The update also highlights the discontinuation of manual transmissions for the BMW M3 in Japan, with a special 'MT Final Edition' limited to 150 units. Porsche has introduced the Taycan Turbo GT, boasting up to 1,093 horsepower and achieving a 7:07.55 Nürburgring lap time, faster than the Model S Plaid. Other news includes the 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid, the refreshed 2025 Audi A3 (with a notable absence of subscription-based climate control in the US), and performance variants of VW's ID.3 and ID.7 GTX for Europe. Teasers for the next-gen Alfa Romeo Giulia and Cadillac's Opulent Velocity Concept are also discussed.
