"Nissan's global head of product strategy, Richard Candler, stated, 'I think what we've seen so far is that electric sports cars haven't been hugely popular. I think they'll come as better battery technology takes its next leap, but the current lithium chemistries are not capable of producing a GT-R-type product. We're not going to go with batteries in the next generation. No way.'"
"The next-generation Nissan GT-R will not be an electric car, the company confirmed, shooting down rumors of a battery-powered Godzilla. The electric concept's debut, along with the decision to axe the R35 GT-R, spurred plenty of theories online, but they have now been put to rest."
Nissan has officially stated that the next-generation GT-R will not be an electric vehicle, dismissing rumors about a battery-powered version. The company cited current battery technology as inadequate for the performance expected from the GT-R. Despite unveiling the Hyper Force concept as an all-electric supercar, Nissan's global head of product strategy emphasized that electric sports cars have not gained popularity. The new GT-R, currently in development, will continue the brand's legacy of gas-only engines, marking the end of an era for the iconic model.
