Nissan Skyline 14th-generation development
Overview
Nissan has confirmed that the 14th-generation Skyline sedan, designated as the V38, will be officially unveiled in December 2026. The new rear-wheel-drive sports sedan is intended to serve as a symbol of the brand’s revitalization strategy, with CEO Ivan Espinosa describing the model as an “icon of speed”.
A major development in the project is the significant reduction in the production cycle. By utilizing generative artificial intelligence and digital simulation tools across the design, engineering, testing, and production phases, Nissan has reduced the development timeline from approximately 55 months for the previous model to just 26 months. Nissan noted that the company has applied operational insights and lessons regarding speed and technological advancements gained from its collaboration with China’s Dongfeng Motor.
The upcoming model is expected to utilize an updated FM platform and may feature a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine. Transmission options are expected to include a six-speed manual and a nine-speed automatic. To manage production costs, Nissan’s strategy involves sharing engines, platforms, and technologies with Renault. While the Skyline holds historical significance in markets such as the United States under the Infiniti brand, the new model may not be available in Europe following the brand’s exit from that region in 2020.
