In 2025, we’ll see a bunch of new cars hitting the market, but it also means saying goodbye to over 20 models. From budget-friendly options like the Mitsubishi Mirage to iconic sports cars like the Nissan GT-R, many favorites won’t be around anymore. Check out the list of vehicles that will retire at the end of the 2024 model year!
Audi is saying goodbye to its two-door A5, S5, and RS5 models after the 2024 model year, but the four-door Sportback versions will be around for one more year. It’s likely Audi plans to bring out new coupe and convertible versions later on, but there’s also a chance this could be the final curtain for the two-door A5 lineup.
2. Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Tourbillon is making its debut, which means it’s time to say goodbye to the Bugatti Chiron. After about eight years and 500 units, the Chiron will wrap up with the 2024 model year. But don’t worry—the powerful quad-turbo 8.0-liter W-16 engine isn’t gone just yet; it will still power the 2025 open-top Mistral. However, the W-16’s days are numbered as Bugatti shifts to the new gas-electric hybrid V-16 in the Tourbillon.
3. Chevrolet Camaro
Chevrolet is once again pulling the plug on the Camaro. After first retiring the muscle car in the early 2000s, it made a comeback in 2010. The new version looked great but had some visibility issues. A redesign in 2016 improved the handling but didn’t help the window problem. Despite its ups and downs, the sixth-generation Camaro earned spots on our 10Best lists from 2016 to 2018. However, declining sales led Chevy to end the Camaro, giving it a final send-off with a Collector Edition. But don’t count the Camaro out just yet—Chevy plans to bring back the name for a seventh-generation model in the future!
4. Ferrari 812
The new Ferrari 12Cilindri is here, and that means the end of the 812 model line. With limited space in Modena, Ferrari can only have one front-engine V-12 two-door model at a time. While the 12Cilindri will delight fans looking for a new 12-cylinder grand tourer, its retro design isn’t as flashy as the outgoing 812, especially the sporty Competizione version. We’re excited to see future versions of the 12Cilindri that will amp up its style and performance, but the 812 will always have a special place in our hearts.
5. Lamborghini Huracán
The Huracán was Lamborghini’s “entry-level” sports car, following the Gallardo and boosting sales worldwide. With its powerful mid-mounted V-10 engine—also used in the now-retired Audi R8—the Huracán had a unique flair compared to its V-12 siblings. It made a memorable exit with the all-terrain Sterrato variant. Coming next is the Temerario, which aims to capture the essence of the Huracán but takes a different approach, featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a V-8 engine.
6. Nissan GT-R
Nissan’s legendary GT-R, often called Godzilla, is tough to take down. The R35 generation has been around from 2008 to 2024, getting numerous updates along the way. While its look has stayed mostly the same, its power has steadily increased, with the NISMO version now pushing out 600 horsepower from its twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6. Although its advanced all-wheel-drive system is now outmatched by newer rivals, Nissan faces a big challenge with the next-generation GT-R, which is expected to include some electrification.
