GT-R replacement in 2013
Nissan wants this particular product kept fresh
Nissan GT-R fans had to wait five years before the company made their dreams come true by moving from the Skyline GT-R (R34) to the current GT-R (R35). Now apparently, the wait will not be as long next time around.
Nissan Vice President of Global Product Planning, Andy Palmer, told a gathering of mostly GT-R Programme engineers and staff that despite the prevailing economic slowdown, the company was fully committed to their pet project. Leader of the project, Kazutoshi Mizuno, was also present during the announcement.
Palmer acknowledged the importance of the GT-R in the Nissan product mix and said the next installment would use an evolution of the current platform and also keep its V6 configuration. Engine size and power were not mentioned, but an increase of the latter should be expected. The R35 makes about 485bhp from its twin turbo 3.8-litre V6.
The plan is for Nissan to continuously invest more into the development of the car until the next one has fully evolved as a completely new car - if all goes to plan, the R36 could be ready by 2013.
