Full List of Every Nissan Model Ever Made
Nissan’s beginnings go all the way back to 1911 when Masujiro Hashimoto founded Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works. The company produced its first car three years later and called it the DAT. A company called Nihon Sangyou, or Japan Industries, merged with what would become Nissan Motor Company in 1931. The CEO of Nihon Sangyou, Yoshisuke Aikawa, was excited about starting an auto division of the company, so when other shareholders were less enthusiastic, Aikawa bought them out and began focusing on building Nissan manufacturing plants.Nissan continued making Datsuns, the kind of car they’d been making for years, as well as producing trucks and planes for the Japanese army.
After the war, Nissan partnered with various automakers to build vehicles for them, including Austin Motor Company in the 1950s and 1960s and a merger with Prince Motor Company in 1966, which introduced vehicles to the Nissan lineup that are still in production to this day. In 1967 Nissan introduced its new highly advanced four cylinder overhead cam Nissan L engine, which while similar to Mercedes-Benz OHC designs was a totally new engine designed by Nissan. This engine powered the new Datsun 510, which gained Nissan respect in the worldwide sedan market.
By the 1950s Nissan had decided to expand into worldwide markets. Nissan management realized their Datsun small car line would fill an unmet need in markets such as Australia and the world’s largest car market, the United States. The company formed a U.S. subsidiary, Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A., in 1959, headed by Yutaka Katayama. Nissan has marketed vehicles under a few names, including the Datsun brand name. Today, Nissan–which dropped the Datsun name in the mid-1980s–is one of Japan's largest car manufacturers and for car fans it had produced iconic cars that definitely belong on this site, the famous Z sports car and GT-R are just two that come to mind. On this page we list all the Nissan models over the years.
Current Nissan Models
It is hard to get excited about the current Nissan lineup if you're a fan of this site. The current cars and SUVs are all decent but they aren't iconic or the kinds of cars readers of supercars.net get amped about. While the Nissan GT-R is still around, it is now well into its second decade in its current incarnation and we are dying to see if Nissan will ever do something new just like it did with the 370Z. After 11 years, the sports car has finally been replaced by the 7th generation Z car - the 2023 Nissan Z (formerly called the 400Z). In this section, you will find a healthy global list of current Nissan models available for sale.

Nissan Models: In-Depth Guides
We take a deeper look at some of the most memorable Nissan cars over the years.
Nissan Skyline & Nissan GT-R Model List
We decided that Nissan's true sportscar deserved its own section. In 1969 Nissan first produced a high performance version of its Skyline range called the Nissan Skyline GTR. And it has proved itself to be an icon for Nissan and has achieved much fame and success on both the road and track. The first generation G-R ran from 1969 to 1972. Known as "PGC10" it was powered by a 2.0 L DOHC S20 I6 making 160 hp and 87 lb/ft of torque.
The second generation ran from 1972 to 1977 andd was known at the KPGC10 and was powered by a 1989 cc inline six S20 engine. Demand for high-performance sports cars in the early 1970s was weak so just 197 cars were. Things really go interesting with the 1985 launch of the the seventh-generation Skyline, with the "Nissan Skyline R31 2000 GTSR" reintroducing the 6-cylinder DOHC engine. The R32 GTR was the giant killer and cemented the "Godzilla" nickname.
After Nissan cancelled production of the 1973 version, they bought it back again in 1989. This time with a new 2.6 Liter Twin-turbo charged engine and an all wheel drive concept, designed by Nismo. The Nissan Skyline E-BNR32 chassis "R32" had just been designed, and was chosen as a base to build a more competitive Group A race car. It was put into production by Nissan as the R32 Nissan Skyline GTR. read more. The 4th Generation was the "E-BCNR33" shortened to "R33" and made its debut in 1995. It had the same engine as the R32. The next generation of performance Skyline's to hit the streets was the "GT-BNR34" known as the "R34" was released in January 1999.
Nissan decided to make the R34 GTR shorter "from front to rear", plus make the front wheels closer to the front. One of the main new features added was the 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the center of the dashboard, that displays seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as turbocharger boost pressure, oil and water temperature and more. The latest generation made its public debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.
It was launched to the Japanese market on the 6 December 2007, and the official U.S. launch was on July 07, 2008. Although the Nissan GTR no longer carries the "Skyline" name, it has its heritage in the Skyline range. The traditional straight-6 "RB26DETT" engine has been replaced with a new V6 "VR38DETT". And the "HICAS" four-wheel-steering system used in previous models has been removed.
