2025 will mark the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R, so how does it stack up against the latest Porsche 911?

At $120,100, the base 992.2 Carrera is your entry into the Porsche 911 lineup for 2025

With a starting MSRP of $121,090, the Nissan GT-R seems to be representing a much better value for money, on paper

Porsche offers a revised variant of its latest 911 generation, dating back to 2019

Despite constant revisions, the Nissan GT-R remains fundamentally the same since 2008

Despite a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera is heavily outgunned by Godzilla

But thanks to high grip levels and a PDK transmission, the 992.2 Carrera still manages a 3.9-second to 60 mph

Meanwhile, the GT-R sprints to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and the more expensive NISMO can do 2.5 if conditions allow it

The GT-R's DCT transmission only has 6 gears and is slightly slower and less-refined than the 8-speed PDK

On the other hand, the VR38 DETT is a legendary powerhouse, capable of insane numbers

Inside, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera features a high-quality interior with a fully digital, but retro-inspired instrument cluster

The 4-way adjustable Sport seats are good enough, but for anything else, Porsche will charge you extra

Despite the last major revision in 2017, the Nissan GT-R interior still feels outdated compared to the 911

However, the Nissan is much more generous in terms of standard equipment. There isn't a whole lot you can add

The configurator for the 992.2 GT3 Touring is now live and here are three options that push the MSRP above $300,000

Porsche's Paint to Sample Plus program lets you choose endless color variations, but it will set you back $38,660

The Lichtbau or Lightweight Package starts at $36,010, but you have to tick more boxes to complete it

The bucket seats, for instance, are a part of this Lightweight Package and can cost up to $6,220 more, bringing the price up to $42,230

If you choose the manual, the Lightweight Package also gets you a short shift knob

Porsche says that this package shaves 48 pounds from the 992.2 GT3 Touring's weight, which equates to $879.79 per 1 pound of weight saved

Porsche Carbon Composite Brakes PCCB are the third-most expensive option

The distinctive yellow calipers are an easy giveaway for Porsche's ceramic brakes

For an $900 extra, the calipers can be painted High Gloss Black, bringing the price to $10,680

With a few more options and a hefty dealer markup, a 992.2 GT3 Touring can easily reach $400,000

Adding almost $95,000 worth of options on the 2025 GT3 Touring is super-easy

It takes just takes a handful options to take the GT3 Touring from $222,500 to over $300,000
