The Nissan R36 GT-R has not been revealed, so there are no official specs yet. Nissan executives have said the next GT-R will be a hybrid with a turbocharged V6 and could arrive within a few years of 2025, with a launch around 2030 widely expected.
R36 GT-R: what Nissan has said
- Hybrid, not full EV: A Nissan North America executive said at the 2025 New York Auto Show that the next GT-R will be a hybrid.
- Turbo V6: The same executive described a twin-turbo V6 as the combustion part of the setup.
- Timing: “Three to five years” was the quoted window. No dated launch has been announced.
- Hybrid type: Plug-in versus conventional hybrid had not been decided.
