Nissan is gearing up to unveil a significant expansion of its merchandise offerings, with 115 new items joining its lifestyle collection. This strategic move comes as the automotive giant prepares for the highly anticipated launch of its next-generation GT-R model, expected before 2030. The new range is divided between the core Nissan brand and its performance-oriented NISMO sub-brand, showcasing a variety of products from stylish apparel to detailed diecast models and practical accessories.
The standard Nissan collection features 52 new products, with a notable highlight being the latest GT-R G-Shock watch. This collaboration marks the seventh partnership between Nissan and G-Shock, presenting a rugged carbon-structured timepiece adorned with distinctive GT-R design elements, retailing for approximately 150 USD. Additionally, the collection includes a range of nostalgic clothing items, such as a T-shirt featuring an illustration of the legendary R34 engine, celebrating the iconic RB26DETT powerplant.
For collectors and enthusiasts, Nissan is offering meticulously detailed 1:18 scale resin models, including the Skyline 2000 Turbo Intercooler RS-X, affectionately known as the "Iron Mask," priced at roughly 165 USD. Smaller 1:64 scale diecast models of various Skyline GT-R iterations, such as the KPGC10, KPGC110, R32, and R34, will also be available for approximately 19 USD each. Beyond collectibles, the collection extends to everyday items like a Fairlady Z mug, a canvas tote bag, and a robust metal key ring, blending automotive passion with daily utility.
The NISMO collection introduces 63 new items, significantly broadening its lifestyle appeal. This range includes performance-inspired apparel like a retro ringer T-shirt and branded sunglasses. Practical additions feature a 20L folding container box, designed to resemble a battery, a durable REVOMAX stainless steel bottle, and a UV-resistant cooling towel, catering to an active lifestyle. These new offerings align with Nissan's broader strategy to enhance NISMO's global presence and introduce more performance models, such as the Armada NISMO and Z NISMO.
The entire new merchandise collection will be available for purchase starting April 23. Enthusiasts can find these items at authorized Nissan dealerships, the official Nissan Boutique, and through the brand's online store. This extensive release serves as a strategic initiative to keep the Nissan brand prominent and engaging for its dedicated fanbase, particularly as the automotive world awaits further developments on the R36 GT-R.
BYD's Denza Z9 GT launches in Europe at over three times its Chinese price, challenging the 'cheap Chinese EV' stereotype. This significant price hike, far exceeding tariffs and logistical costs, signals BYD's strategic pivot towards the luxury electric vehicle market, aiming to rival established premium brands and fund its European expansion.

Porsche experienced a notable downturn in global sales during the first quarter of 2026, with deliveries dropping by 15% compared to the previous year. This decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including weakening demand in key markets like China and North America, strategic gaps in its electric vehicle lineup, and the company's approach to pricing in competitive markets. The financial impact is substantial, with a drastic fall in profits, prompting a reevaluation of its electrification strategy.
