The new Nissan GT-R won’t be here any time soon, because the current one still has some work to do. Boo.
That’s the word from GT-R programme manager Hiroshi Tamura, who told TopGear.com that the R35 generation of Nissan’s supercar-slaying Godzilla still has some objectives to hit.
When asked how much development potential was left in the current GT-R, Tamura-san said: “Let’s get to the more simple question – when is the next GT-R coming? Not yet, because I want to hit some of the other objectives first.”
He said that the drive for a more ‘premium’ feel in the GT-R only started two years ago, and that the car had two distinct natures: the first part of its name (GT) was the ‘blue zone’, while ‘R’ was the ‘red zone’ for performance.
