There is talk of an electric GT-R coupe sometime in the future but Nissan says it has no plans for a hybrid performance powerhouse to tackle Porsche’s upcoming 918 Spyder.  Andy Palmer says GT-R buyers want and expect their cars to be petrol performance machines.

“It’s not really something we’d consider. In the GT-R our customers are looking for performance.”  Palmer says a hybrid would add too much weight.

“The GT-R is aimed at one particularly type of customer.”
