The Nissan GT-R R35 will soon say goodbye to us forever, and although this is something that will be difficult for us to assimilate, today from Nismo we have news that will make our farewell much more bearable. Nismo has just confirmed that the Nissan GT-R will have a successora sports car that will fill that gap in the market and that will also do so with a new recipe where the great novelty will be in the use of hybrid mechanics or even electric. Ready to find out what the replacement of the Nissan GT-R will be like?
From the hands of the CEO of Nismo, Takao Katagiri, we have learned that the Japanese manufacturer is already working on the idea of having a successor to the Nissan GT-R. This project is still in a very early phase, which tells us that its arrival on the market will still be delayed for many yearsbut which will seek to give life to a sports car capable of occupying the space left by the GT-R, also doing so under a recipe that allows this new model to be marketed in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and Europe.
This successor to the Nissan GT-R with a hybrid engine will be sold in Europe
We must be clear from this moment that Nismo does not think of this new sports car as a direct replacement for the Nissan GT-R, so there are many possibilities that open up when it comes to addressing what this new sports car will be like. Of course, what we must be clear about is that it will be located above the current Nissan Z, a car that unfortunately we cannot buy officially in Europe.
From Nismo they speak openly of the intention to combine hybrid and electric propulsion systems, which could lead to a car available with both powertrains, as long as the technology to make them a reality is ready for it. And here friends is where we find a fundamental part to understand the roadmap of this project, because at Nissan they want to use solid-state batteries to create this kind of successor to the Nissan GT-Ra promising technology due to all the advantages it provides in terms of performance, weight and charge/discharge power, but which It will be difficult for us to see it on the streets before 2028 since it is the date that Nissan is considering as the most likely for its serial production..
Thus, Nismo is very clear that it will have a new sports car that will serve as a technological showcase, which would mean replicating the role that the Nissan GT-R R35 has defended these 13 years in which it has been on the market. Perhaps the only sad thing about this ad is that, except surprise, the acronym GT-R seems that they will not come back to lifeat least for a very long season.
