Although Nissan excited fans for a while by releasing the all-new Skyline and Fairlady Z. However, it is clear that it is not completely happy, because the news of the update of the God of War GT-R, Nissan's most legendary sports car, has not been officially announced. There are even folk rumors that the GT-R will be discontinued due to the inability to comply with noise regulations that will be tightened from this fall onwards! However, this is not the case, and nissan development engineers have finally responded to this, saying that they will be equipped with a mute device on the new gt-R.

At present, the image data on the new GT-R has not been officially announced, but it only means that the interior and exterior styling will be newly designed, of course, the engine and chassis will also be fully updated.
In terms of power, there have also been rumors that GT-R will use light hybrid power to meet increasingly stringent emission regulations. But Nissan officials recently responded that the new GT-R will still be a turbocharged gasoline engine. The 3.8TV6 twin-turbo will feature a maximum power of 600 hp, comparable to the standard class of NISMO (the current model is 570 hp). And this will also be the last pure internal combustion engine powered GT-R.
Regarding the release time of the new God of War, the official did not make a clear statement, but many media speculated that it would arrive in the spring of next year (2023).
