2017 GTR to be hybrid

Next GT-R is going to be a hybrid supposedly! It’s been thought about for years now, even though it’s not 100% sure. More fuel efficient is what Nissan wants to go for with the 2017 GT-R.  This not only boosts efficiency but the overall performance of the vehicle as well. Electrification is going to be the goal for any car, which will be no new surprise for anyone. Not being anything new, many manufacturers like McLaren have done the same thing with their P1. The P1 uses torquey electric motor that will help make up for its lag from the forcefully turbocharged V8. Plus, it’s also worth it for Nissan to equip the GT-R with hybrid technology to compete with its rival Acura and their NSX embracing the hybrid technology. Nakamura-san not only considers anything changed on the vehicle to be bad. He thinks whatever proportions are changed not only contribute to better performance but also to better aerodynamics.
