2013 R36 a Hybrid
The 2013 Nissan GT-R R36
Nissan has officially confirmed its commitment to its GT-R program by announcing that they are to replace the current R35 model. The new R36 model will hopefully be on our streets by 2013 so will hopefully appear in the next Gran Turismo game, you never know, we could have a PS4 by then.
PistonHeads visited Nissan’s Nurburgring Technical Centre last week and had a great chat with the GT-R programme team. While there, they praised the team for their recent achievements on the GT-R project. During the conversation, it became clear that Nissan’s replacement model for the current R35 was still in place.
Nissan knows that its benchmark is the 911 GT2; this means that their current GT-R model has a lifespan of 5-6 years at most. It has been confirmed that the R36 will n
ot be a complete new model, just an evolution of the current model.
According to British sources, the 2013 Nissan GT-R R36 program is still on track, despite the current financial issues. The Japanese company will continue its plans with the electric cars and the LCVs and the 2013 Nissan GT-R R36 which will be an evolution of the current model. This means the 2013 Nissan GT-R R36 will be powered by the same 3.8-liter V6 engine thats under the hood of the current version and develops 480 PS (353 kW). The double-clutch six-speed transmission with paddle shifters will most probably be available too on the 2013 Nissan GT-R R36.
The production cycle of the 2013 Nissan GT-R R36 will follow the one of its main rival, the Porsche 911 GT2.
Were anxious to see when will the first 2013 Nissan GT-R R36 prototypes hit the Nurburgring race track.
