WHERE


ARE YOU?


DREAMIN’
Hey, Nissan, need
a business case for
another GT-R? Here are
some comgens we
whipped up. And
some ideas.

R35 V2.0
Heavily restyle
both ends. Fit an
entirely new interior.
Squeeze in some
batteries and an electric
motor. Gun for
500kW/750Nm.

CALL IT R36
For cost purposes,
keep the existing
powertrain (3.8-litre TT
V6). R32, R33 and R34 may
have all looked different, but
underneath they all used
basically the same
powertrain.

WATCH
THE WEIGHT
The current R35 Nismo
weighs 1720kg. Battery pack
and electric motor might add
300kg. Weight is kept to 1800kg
thanks to increased use of
structural aluminium and
carbonfibre, even if
there is a cost.
