Nissan has confirmed one of the most anticipated news in the automotive world - the legendary GT-R will return! The company's CEO, Ivan Espinosa, said that the model will “evolve and reinvent“ for a new generation, preserving its heritage and improving its performance.
With the production of the current R35 version ending, Nissan is focused on creating the next GT-R. The company wants to preserve the spirit and performance of the model, but also take it to the next level.
Hybrid, electric or...? There is still no official information about the powertrain of the future GT-R. According to the senior vice president of Nissan North America, the next “Godzilla“ will be a hybrid. However, the electric GT-R Hyper Force EV concept showed the possibilities of an all-electric version with 1,300 horsepower and solid-state batteries.
Last week, Nissan entered into a partnership with LiCAP Technologies to mass-produce such batteries. The company plans to launch its first all-electric car with solid-state batteries in 2028.
Regardless of the configuration, the new GT-R will appear in a few years. Although there are many question marks, Nissan promises that the new generation will retain the legendary performance and spirit of “Godzilla“.
