 Nissan will be patient with new electric GTRs


 After many years of waiting for the release of the R36 generation of GTR cars, it seems that there will be a new electric GTR, or an electric alternative to it. 13 years after Godzilla Japan made the Nissan GTR R35, this model has been discontinued in many global markets, specifically in Europe, Britain and Australia, thanks to changing emissions, safety and noise regulations, and this decision makes the Nissan Z 2023 the only sports model in the company's fleet Japanese in many global markets. The rapid global shift by all automakers to electrification has opened up new speculation about Nissan's willingness to build an electric sports car, and now we have confirmation that the company is in the discussion to do so indeed.

And as Nissan has previously announced that it plans to introduce 23 new electric models, including 15 fully electric cars, it seeks to have all its production cars in Japan, China, the United States and Europe electrified by 2030, God willing, and this means that the fleet will become a mixture of hybrid cars, And plug-in hybrid cars, and fully electric cars such as the Nissan Arya 2023.

Nissan's electric sports car plans depend on its ability to successfully advance the use of solid-state battery, and the automaker is already on this path and expects to open its first pilot production facility in 2024, solid-state battery technology should be ready by 2026 and reach commercial production vehicles in 2028. In terms of vehicles that could get solid batteries first, Nissan officials confirm that the automaker is discussing new electric GTRs but acknowledge that everyday cars should come first. "I would love to have an electric sports car, but we need to organize, we are not ready to announce the sequence, but it is clearly on the table," Francois Bailly told Autocar.
