Hello friends, welcome to the 90 Jun of this issue, today brother to tell a sad story. There's about GT-R, there's about electrification. Recently, Nissan Motor Coo operating officer Gupta said in an interview that "GT-R will return to people's vision in the future with pure electric models", Gupta said: "Nissan Z and GT-R can be seen as 'Beauty and the Beast', these two high-performance models play different roles in Nissan's product camp, although GT-R and Nissan Z will use pure electric power systems in the future, but their positioning will not change." ”
Other words... Not only the GT-R, but also the Z series must be electrified?! As the god of war in toei, GT-R is the dream of many big boys, "I want to buy GT-R", "I buy a Mercedes for you, plus a Rolex?" A few short lines fully illustrate the weight of GT-R! Even a Mercedes-Benz Rolex can't make it
And that's why people are so obsessed with GT-R! Just because of 4 words: Toei God of War. In 1968, the original Nissan GT-R officially kicked off as the Skyline 2000GT-R, powered by a 2.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that won 33 japanese races within a year and a half of the four-door version. Subsequently, after the two-door version of the model was put into the race, it was even more out of control, creating an undefeated myth of 50 games! If this were put in the king, there was a good chance that he would be warned!
With the success of the first generation, the second generation GT-R was introduced in 1973, and although the powertrain did not change much, due to the emergence of the oil crisis, it also led to the sales of this energy-intensive performance car plummeting, and then directly "retired". It wasn't until 1989 that Nissan restarted production of the GT-R, a six-cylinder twin-turbo engine that was purer and more violent! 280 horsepower was the limit of Japanese law at that time, and although Nissan also launched C210, R30, R31 and other cars in the gap period of more than 10 years in the second and third generations, it was never crowned with the gt-R suffix and this generation of models also made it sit on the title of "Toei God of War".
As we all know, this generation of GT-R has created countless legends in many events, the most famous should be, Guia Group A event, when the participation in the event can be regarded as an all-star lineup, BMW M3 Sport Evo, Ford Sierra RS500, Toyota AE86, Supra and so on. And, of course, our protagonist today, the Skyline GT-R R32. As a result, I believe I don't need to say that you all know that the Skyline GT-R R32 threw 6.30 seconds away from the second place in the early stage and then directly threw the second place 28.3 seconds to win the championship.
The Skyline GT-R R32 has since won several races in quick succession, although the Australian Organizing Committee has tried to control the race by increasing the 100 kg and limiting the power output (reducing 100 horsepower). However, the opponents found that even if it did not play well in qualifying, it only needed a few laps. You will see that the Skyline GT-R R32 has therefore given it the title of "Godzilla", and in desperation, Australia directly canceled Group A and banned the use of four-wheel drive and turbocharging, and the Skyline GT-R R32 directly lost the qualification.
Admittedly, the launch of the third-generation Skyline GT-R was a success, but the fourth-generation model that hit the iron while it was hot obviously did not meet expectations, because Nissan gave the R33 the chassis of the Duke's sedan, and a sports car used the chassis of a sedan. The failure of the fourth generation made Nissan understand that the GT-R still had to be pure, so the R34 came out with an optimized performance chassis and the last generation of the RB26DETT era (this engine was used since the R32)! It has also become an eternal and unsustainable classic in the hearts of fans.
In 2007, the GT-R R35 was fully evolved into a pure supercar, with the R35 unsealed and powered by a 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine. The 480 hp and 588 Nm data instantly broke through, although every year after that, the GT-R R35 would introduce a small revamped version. But there has never been news of a replacement, and nissan executives about the future of the car are undoubtedly pointing the way this time. In fact, at the end of 2021, Nissan Motor released the "Nissan Motor 2030 Vision", announcing that it will focus on the transformation of electric drives and plan to invest 2 trillion yen in the next five years. According to the plan, by fiscal year 2030, Nissan will launch 23 electric models, including 15 pure electric models, Nissan and Infiniti brands, and electric drives will account for more than 50%. In this list, there may be the figure of the God of War of the Eastern Ying.
Of course, it all depends on the development of Nissan's electric technology, Gupta said: "Although it is too early to discuss the electrification of the GT-R, because at least until the development of Nissan's next-generation battery and electric drive technology is completed to meet the development needs of a high-performance car such as the GT-R." "When there is no roar of the engine, no sound of cannon fire, and some are just ... "Hiss", will it still be the dream of the boy's heart?
Maybe it was just a Nissan at the time
