2017 Nissan GT-R goes economical with hybrid plans
22 Dec 2012|7,807 views
Rumours have it that the next generation model will retain its same basic proportions but with a sportier front fascia which maximises downforce and increases high speed stability.
Also, the model will aim to be more eco-friendly to meet market demand as well as the increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions standards.
Nissan aims to achieve this with a hybrid powertrain as used in the Infiniti M35h. Another possibility is adding a 'turbo compressor and generator setup' to the current engine. Both setups are rumoured to be under evaluation, but it appears a stop/start system and cylinder deactivation technology will be standard.
While the current model is expected to stick around for a couple of years, Chief Engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno hinted the company can "take the car up to 2017, when you can expect significant revisions." With that, the soonest for the next generation model will likely be 2017 or 2018.
