The idea may not please the purists, but Nissan seems determined to bring some of its most popular models into the electric era, including the sporty Skyline GT-R from the R32 generation.
The model, now 100% electric, will be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in January 2025, in a project led by engineers from the Japanese brand, which has been in development since 2023.
The idea originated from the desire of an engineer interested in adding electrification to the R32 GT-R in an effort to recreate a new generation of the sports model by integrating EV technology.
Nissan has not revealed details about the electric technology used in this conversion, but it is expected that they will have maintained the all-wheel-drive system.
The Japanese brand has already indicated that the next generation of the GT-R, the R36, may come with a 100% electric version; however, Nissan has not yet decided on the final configuration of the new generation of the sports model but has mentioned that it will leverage the technology and development it has been undertaking in Formula E single-seaters.
