Hybrid R36

Word from Japan indicates that the next generation Nissan GT-R could be a hybrid sports car.

Buzz is circulating the internet right now that there's a possibility that the next generation of Nissan GT-R will be powered by a 440HP gas engine coupled with a 160HP electric motor. The combination of the two means, in theory, that the vehicle will be a 600 HP monster that is both a great performer as well as a more fuel efficient vehicle. This is all comes from Japanese automotive magazine Best Car.

I have no doubts that whatever the next gen of GT-R is, it will be awesome.

There is also mention that it could be scaled down to near Honda CR-Z proportions in order to improve overall performance and efficiency.

More details will surely come, so stay tuned.
