It seems that Nissan is gearing up to release an electric version of its iconic sports car, the GTR, at some point in the future. The Japanese company has unveiled the new prototype Hyper Force EV, a futuristic electric supercar designed for racing enthusiasts and thrill-seekers on the track.

The car features an exterior design resembling a scaled-down version of the Tesla Cybertruck, blended with the legendary Nissan Skyline identity, characterized by broad and bold proportions with a low, sleek appearance. Nissan claims that the Hyper Force EV prototype can generate up to 1,341 horsepower and is expected to operate on a fully solid battery.

The exterior design was developed in collaboration with Nissan's racing team, Nismo, to provide cutting-edge aerodynamics. The two-tier structure beneath the engine cover offers lower downforce and cooling performance, while the rear air diffuser directs airflow.

The car comes with two driving modes: "R" for racing and "GT" for grand touring, where the lighting and interior display are adjusted accordingly. In the "R" mode, the cabin features red lighting designed to enhance focus on performance, while the "GT" mode creates a comfortable atmosphere with blue lighting.

Giovanni Arroba, Nissan's Program Design Director, stated that the electric hypercar is feasible and could be realized by the end of the decade, despite its bold design. Although Arroba did not explicitly mention that this version is the electric Nissan GTR, he hinted that the logo on the prototype was intentionally unclear and will be revealed later, without specifying a timeline.

Nissan aims to launch a fully solid-state battery electric vehicle by 2028, and if that happens, it could pave the way for a high-performance electric GTR. However, when it arrives, it's likely to feature a less audacious design than what we see in the test prototype.
