My love of hot cars has been very heartened to read of Nissan’s recent announcement of a new GT-R supercar for sometime around 2017. Whilst the likely £100K price tag may somewhat limit the likelihood of my owning one of my dream cars sometime soon (!), it is still very encouraging to see Nissan state that they intend to offer the car with a 592 bhp hybrid electric drivetrain, significantly lowering the carbon emission levels from the current model’s 275g/km of CO2.
The zippy response an electric augmented engine will offer as well as the lower kerb weight should see the ‘Godzilla’ prowling the streets in a more environmentally friendly way...and hopefully setting an example for other mainstream supercar manufacturers to follow...
If Nissan can pull it off they should be widely lauded....
