Nissan’s GT-R set to return by 2030 as a plug-in hybrid

Nissan's next-generation GT-R, set for release by 2035, is unlikely to be purely electric, instead featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The car, codenamed R36, could draw from the 2025 Nissan Armada’s advanced engine but will primarily rely on battery power for everyday use. While prototypes have been built, electric versions are expected to struggle with range on tracks like the Nürburgring. Additionally, the company is exploring solid-state batteries but considers them unsuitable for high-performance vehicles.
