The launch of the R35 Nissan GT-R almost six years ago was an epic achievement for all involved with its development. After all, here was a car capable of outperforming exotic supercars costing twice as much, as well as being able to seat four adults in relative comfort and being easy to drive every day.
Since its launch, Nissan has introduced a series of updates to ensure the GT-R remains supreme. Later this year, we’ll see a NISMO-enhanced version, and this is expected to be the final update of the current R35.
That means its successor, the R36, isn’t too far away. Already we’ve heard that the R36 GT-R will be introduced as a 2016 model and that it will feature hybrid technology, most likely borrowed from Williams.
