IT House May 6 news, Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta said in an interaction with Top Gear that Nissan is planning to develop an all-electric GT-R sports car, but the launch date is not yet known.
He believes that while it’s too early to tell, an all-electric GT-R will surely arrive someday. However, he also said that current EV technology is not ready for such high-performance applications, and that other sports cars, the Z, other than the GT-R, will also undergo an electrified transition.
“At the moment, when we do all the simulations of the electrification of these cars, we can’t find the right technology to define what is a ‘Z’ and what is a ‘GT-R’. In the end, neither of these are cars, these are our culture,” he further added.
Ashwani Gupta describes the Z and GT-R as beauty and the beast, respectively. He put it bluntly: These two high-performance cars play different roles in their product lineup. Although the GT-R and Z will use pure electric powertrains in the future, their positioning will not change.
IT House learned that the current Nissan GT-R R35 has been withdrawn from the European market due to restrictions on emissions regulations, and the Japanese market has also stopped accepting new orders. According to the information previously exposed, the new generation of GT-R will be built on a new platform, codenamed R36, which seems to be a hybrid product, while the pure electric version of the GT-R will be the next-generation model. Please look forward to.
