Currently, the all-electric supercar market is dominated by the American manufacturer Tesla who has shown that electric cars do not mean short range and snail like pace. For Nissan to build an electric vehicle it has to be a world beater.

Of course, Nissan won’t be starting from scratch should it start to develop an electric GT-R.

He even went a step further, identifying it as “an early ancestor of what will be a future GT-R engine”. But Nissan aims to make an all-electric vehicle.

“The rate of change over the last five years has been phenomenal”, Dunsmore told Top Gear. The next generation completely electric GT-R vehicle may derive its design from the Vision GT concept. The after that modern technology was unsatisfactory for a total electrical supercar, nonetheless with the Tesla Version S doing 0-100km/ h in 2.8 few seconds, we understand the modern technology is there for certain. Nissan was toying with the idea way back in 2010 with tightening emission norms making it hard for cars like the “Godzilla” to breath easily. But do I want to? Nissan is not equipped to build an electric GT-R today. However, Nissan does have a history of playing with the electric side of things-one of the three concept vehicles the company is showing off at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, the Teatro for Dayz, is all-electric, and another, the Z-inspired crossover Gripz concept, is a hybrid. In 2014 the company raced a zero emissions Leaf RC Concept at Le Mans and have been pioneering self-driving technology. “I’d love to.” He continued to say, “I can’t see a technical reason why we wouldn’t be able to implement electric vehicle technology in something like a performance vehicle”. Its ZEOD RC endurance racer is also capable of running exclusively on electric power.
