Nissan GT-R: Hybrid could be the next GT-R

The aging of the half, and at the latest in 2017, has been replaced R35-Series successor, official sources.

The current Nissan GT-R. the fifth renewal of the ancestor-R35, since demonstrated to slowly begin the serious speculation regarding a possible successor model, although it is certain at least two (some say up to four) model update. So Godzilla 2015 is definitely not retire, but more likely a 2017 retirement.

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced just a few days in the beginning of the development of the next generation, it does not matter, as long as it will not produce a mature machine, they will not let the peak current Nissan. And what will be the next model? The rumors have already started. Everyone agrees that both the exterior and major changes are expected in terms of drive. An image speculated that the car will remain the main lines, but the lights and a few lines lower air resistance and better stability to redraw.

As far as the operator is concerned, the increasingly stringent European and American emission standards simply must meet, so the most likely - the rival manufacturers like sports cars - an electric system installation. Predict the two solutions envisioned. The first is a hybrid system in which, or the current 3.8-liter unit is a size-reduced version will be located (such as the 3.7-liter variant, which is the Infiniti Essence concept, housed the first time in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show) is an electric motor complete with 600 horsepower around a total power or the complete system M35h pulled up a bit. But many consider this solution is impractical, because it would be difficult for a Nissan GT-R, which can only be reduced at the cost of very expensive parts, and even then the computer is not too flake 1,740 kilograms.

The second idea is a turbo, a compressor and a generator installed together with up to another, the rear axle can be placed closer to the engine itself. This week in addition to the Golf Mar correctly applied - for normal road - cylinder shut-off option, which further grams and oz to save the new Godzilla.

Be that as it may, the person in charge of engine development engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno -- a crumb in a statement that it is likely to be the debut year of 2017, and a Nissan GT-R hybrid will be the final version. But do not drink the bear's skin in advance, but wait patiently until then it will be more interesting for today's newer variants of R35.
