Nissan Gtr Hybrid For 2016

[Ants]

So I was quietly reading my local newspaper and came across this:

briefly it will have the twin turbo v6 engine punching out 440kw which includes 115kw electric motor feeding through the 4WD

weight reduction of 180kg

and is expected to be repackaged as an Infinity

anyways I will let you R35 aficionado's discuss the rest

Good stuff with the weight shedding surgery, but I strongly disagree with the electric motor - way to ruin the spirit of the GT-R.

How exactly does that ruin the spirit? the car is based on an electronic system that controls torque to individual wheels. This is the same, except some of the torque is now made by another motor.

The modern GTR has been all about pushing the limits with new technology, that is exactly what that is. Not to mention that Porsche/Ferrari/Maclaren have all had success doing it

So long as it bakes tyres I'm all in.

Will certainly fit into the spirit of gtr "costs heaps to maintain and nightmare when it stuffs up"

Hmmm shoulda been 440kw plus the 115kw electric motor

Wonder if it uses the electric motor as "torque fill" like the P1??

FAREWELL LAG!!

I agree and initially thought the electric motor was in addition to the 440kw package maybe it will be in the future who knows

I seem to recall the R35 GTR was originally planned to have electric motor front wheel assist, but they ran out of time/money so went for the proven mechanical drive.

Looks like they've been plodding along in the back room.

I dont know about anyone else, but i love the feeling of a car coming onto boost, this will ruin everything

[niZmO_Man]

Means you can run bigger turbos with less lag

So much of this is true^^^
