So when the time comes to replace this model what will Nissan deliver?
Each generation is a step change improvement but are we not now nearing the limit of tangible gains be it in performance lateral g ring times etc.


Will it be a case of making the next model cost the consumer less more for less ?


And please can we have 650bhp per tonne pretty please.

Um this latest revision is between 80 and 92k, so they would have to massively lower the price for it to be half that of a 911 turbo.

Regarding 650bhp per ton, assuming weight was similar they'd need to give it over 1100bhp as standard.

I'm hoping that they drastically reduce weight carbon fibre and Kevlar

Recent acquisition of Mitsubishi Motors (and close ties with Mitsubishi on manufacturing hybrid components) would suggest this is bang on the money.

"Torque filling"


Isn't one issue with Hybrid/EV is that the motors will effectively be identical in all vehicles so then it's simply aero weight and gearing which will determine performance.

I reckon Digitalize has nailed it. Next GTR will surely be a hybrid, like a junior Mac P1/918/LaFerrari. Wouldn't be surprised to see 800-1000 BHP combined power figure either, given what Tesla are outputting. I would expect (again) that Nissan would be looking to trample all over the 911 Turbo in terms of performance. There will be plenty of high tech, fancy composite materials etc. nad the driving experience would be akin to playing a video game I guess.

That's a bold statement "trampling over a 911 Turbo S" it takes a very special car indeed to live with that car let alone take it to the cleaners
