A 2021 Nissan GT-R NISMO showing just 1,300 miles is currently drawing six-figure bids on Bring a Trailer, where a Missouri dealer has listed the low-mile coupe with its original window sticker, owner's manuals, a clean Carfax, and a Puerto Rico title tracing back to the first owner who bought it new from VPH Motor Corporation in Mayaguez.
Finished in Pearl White over black leather with red synthetic-suede inserts, this final-generation R35 is equipped with the full NISMO parts bin: a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 paired with a dual-clutch six-speed automatic, the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, a limited-slip rear differential, and NISMO-tuned Bilstein DampTronic suspension. Carbon-fiber bodywork, a titanium exhaust, 20-inch RAYS forged wheels, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes round out the mechanical highlights, while heated Recaro seats, carbon-fiber interior trim, and a Bose audio system handle the cabin. The chassis is documented as JN1AR5DF3MM160123.
Bidding on the coupe, cataloged as Lot #257,429, currently sits at $250,000 with seven days left on the clock and 13 comments already logged from the BaT community. That figure alone says plenty about where the market for pristine, late-production GT-R NISMOs is headed, especially for a car with barely any wear on its Recaro buckets or its NISMO-spec Dunlop rubber.
Hagerty's valuation tools offer useful context here. Its price guide has tracked GT-R NISMO models from the 2015-2018 model years holding a steady #3 (Good) condition value of roughly $130,000, a figure that has proven remarkably resistant to the swings seen elsewhere in the performance-car market. A 2021 example with barely any miles and a documented ownership history sits in a different tier altogether, since Hagerty's guide reflects typical used examples rather than cars that are effectively showroom-fresh. The gap between that guide figure and the current $250,000 bid illustrates how much buyers are willing to pay for a NISMO that has barely left the driveway.
The R35 generation is now approaching two decades of production, and with Nissan winding down the model, low-mile NISMO examples like this one are becoming a benchmark for where the platform's ceiling really is. Motorious has tracked that trend across several recent GT-R listings, including a widebody 2013 GT-R Premium and a no-reserve 2014 GT-R Black Edition, both of which offer a useful counterpoint on what modified or higher-mile R35s are bringing versus a near-new NISMO like this one.
It's also part of a broader pattern on Bring a Trailer, where low-mile, well-documented modern performance cars keep outperforming Hagerty guide values, a phenomenon Motorious recently explored with a salvage-title Acura NSX-T that sold well below guide for the opposite reason. Together, the two listings show just how much condition and mileage now separate the top and bottom of the modern JDM market.
Bidding on this 1,300-mile GT-R NISMO remains open on Bring a Trailer through August 14, and given the pace of the last few days, it looks unlikely to slow down before the gavel falls.
