Nissan GT-R

Reports coming out of Japan suggest that the next-generation model of the Nissan GT-R will go hybrid. According to Japan’s BestCar magazine, the Nissan GT-R will now come with an electric-motor capable of producing 160-hp, which will work in conjunction with the GT-R V6 twin turbo engine.

Sources suggest that the model will produce an overall output of 600-hp.

We’re not sure if the hybrid GT-R will improve fuel-economy or whether it will allow an electric-only driving mode. Stay tuned for more details.

    Rumor has it which Nissan is deliberation a hybrid chronicle of the GT-R which will yield improved fuel manage to buy but sacrificing performance.According to the report, the R36-generation GT-R will supplement its 440-horsepower gasoline engine – down from the current twin-turbo V6's 480 – with an electric motor worth about 160 galloping horses, for an overall equivalent of 600. That's a whole lot of power, and if the reports prove to be accurate, Porsche won't be the only one looking in the rear-view mirror when it comes along.Mio Navman M350D
