The GT-R abbreviation stands for ''Gran Turismo–Racing'', obtained from the Skyline GT-R''.'' In 2006, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn determined that the GT-R would be a global icon for the Nissan brand, as unlike its predecessors which were only sold in Japan, the GT-R would be sold all around the world.
