By Jack Quick · 26 May 2025
Nissan is still wading through its financial turmoil, but is reportedly still working on a new GT-R to replace the R35-generation model that finished production last year.As reported by Auto Express, this new GT-R will form part of a revitalised Nismo high-performance car line-up.The Japanese carmaker is reportedly focusing on Nismo, as well as Patrol and Juke as three key nameplates to focus rebuilding its brand around.“I see a future for Nismo. It’s very clear,” said Nissan AMIEO Region Vice President Marketing & Mobility, Arnaud Carpentier to Auto Express.“We will put this in the centre of the brand… We have Nismo, Patrol and Juke.“Those strong nameplates for the brand are the equity. This is how we thrill our customers, so it will for sure come.”Mr Carpentier didn’t detail exactly what the new Nismo line-up will look like, but did confirm a new GT-R is part of the plans.“There are people working on this,” said Mr Carpentier to Auto Express.“When, how, honestly, this we don’t know. But today, we don’t just need to make a sports car, but to do one with a powertrain that we foresee in the coming years.“If it is electric or electrified, it needs to remain a sports car.“ if you end up with the same performance as an EV SUV, this is an issue... We need to reinvent the notion of a sports car.”At this stage it’s unclear whether the R36-generation GT-R will be fully electric.In 2023 the Japanese carmaker revealed the wild Hyper Force concept which previewed an all-electric GT-R.It was powered by a dual-motor setup producing over 1000kW of power. These electric motors were fed by a solid-state battery pack.Previous reports indicated that this new GT-R will be released during 2028 alongside when Nissan planned to produce solid-state batteries.Given the financial turmoil, it’s now unclear if this timeframe is off.
