Is the future of the Nissan GT-R electric? We will find out in 2023
In recent months there has been a lot of talk about electrification, plug-in hybrids and how these technologies can radically change the automotive world. Japanese carmakers are still reluctant to change, and the cars with hybrid or 100% electric technologies coming out of Japan, to date, are far fewer than one might expect from a country that makes technological advancement one of its strong points from the postwar period to today.

Given these premises, it is not surprising to hear rumors regarding the future of the Nissan GT-R, the car that since 2007 - when it was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show - entered the heart of enthusiasts thanks to technical equipment and supercar performance, at a much lower price than the most famous brands. The GT-R proved to be a time-tested car that flows; think that since its release in 2008 it was practically not updated until 2016, 8 years later, demonstrating the goodness of the Nissan project. The rumors will taste a little bittersweet for GT-R fans; in fact, according to some rumors, the R35 version is destined to retire in the near future, replaced by a new version scheduled for 2023. Official information is still hiding, so we do not know if Nissan will use the classic 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine. displacement combined with some electrification system, or whether it will undertake to create a new engine designed specifically for the new Nissan GT-R R36.

Without a doubt integrate an electrical system in a car like the GT- R would give it a further boost, as well as a breath of fresh air that would allow the car to be sold more easily even on the European market where anti-pollution regulations are clipping the wings of many high performance cars.

With a current price of just under € 110,000 and a top speed of 315 kilometers per hour, the Nissan GT-R truly delivers supercar performance and driving sensations.
