Nissan looks to the future by pointing to the past, trying to follow and relocate its sports cars, with the electric motor.
Nissan he knows he has to relocate his sport cars in the car market, opening up to new scenarios. The electric motor is not new to the Japanese housewhich even participates in the world championship FormulaE, but to match it to his sports car style, it is. A new style for the Nissan GTRor so the house seems intent on moving, as they have explained themselves.
An electrified future for the Nissan GTR?
The brand Nissan over time it has suffered several setbacks, as regards its own sport cars. Considering then, that for some time we have not had a new model on the market, some questions about the future are right, the Japanese should ask them. The words of Ashwani Gupta, Nissan operations managerto the program Top Gear seem to chart the new course towards the electrification of the GRT, and a gradual one transformationwhich will lead the mark to manufacture only electric cars.
Gupta he does not say when all this will happen, but he is sure the new one GTR Sara electric. The reason why we are still not sure if we can build a car electric sports car very successful, lies in the fact that the house still does not have one technology that allows it. His line EV is very focused onurbanwhere at the moment the segment electric is more successful, but it is clear that the supercar I’m a market for Nissan.
Il operative director from the Nissan it is very clear, le sport cars remain a key segment for the brand name. The GTR as the 307Zmust always be the flagship of the house, giving the two cars, even a nickname. The 307Z and the bella while the GTR and the beast, referring to the style of the two cars. At the moment, however, even if the DNA of the house looks at the sportythe production of these vehicles is stopped.
Because the electric can be a salvation
Some models of Nissan sports carcan no longer circulate in Europa. Il V6 biturbo of the Japanese, does not comply with noise regulations, thus finding an important market, such as that, blocked European. The solution to this problem may be precisely theelectrification of the cars, which would respect the 100% this standard. Nissan is not in a favorable moment, even theAustralia has blocked the sales of the brand namesince the Australian government has changed the rules on crash test.
