2023 Nissan GT-R's hybrid backflip! New R36 supercar to stick with R35's powerful twin-turbo V6 after all: report

Nissan has reportedly had a big change of mind when it comes to the highly anticipated R36 GT-R supercar, which is expected to be revealed in 2023.

According to Best Car Web, Nissan is now busy ā€˜developingā€™ the R36 with the current R35 GT-Rā€™s 3.8-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine, although its maximum outputs are likely to change from 441kW of power and 652Nm of torque.

Of course, the Japanese publication and other international media outlets had previously claimed that the R36 would add a mild-hybrid system to the R35ā€™s unit, but that appears to no longer be the case.

The electrical assistance is question was supposedly a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), similar to what was used in its ill-fated GT-R LM Nismo prototype from 2015.

The KERS system in the GT-R LM race car fed energy to a pair of flywheels from the front brakes and was able to send that energy to both the front and rear axles via independent driveshafts.

For reference, a mild-hybrid system was in contention for the R36 due to Japanā€™s incoming 2022 Corporate Average Fleet Emissions (CAFE) and noise regulations, but it seems Nissanā€™s growing line-up of ePower hybrid and all-electric models has helped its non-electrified case.

It therefore now appears the R36 will more or less follow the soon-to-be-revealed Z sports carā€™s lead by carrying over much of its predecessorā€™s mechanicals, clothed by a redesigned exterior and interior.

Naturally, time will tell what the R36 actually has in store, but at least Nissan has publicly stated ā€œthe next GT-Rā€ is on the way, so Godzilla fans have something to look forward to.

Nissan Indirectly Confirms Next-Generation GT-R R36

Earlier this month, Nissan introduced the GT-R T-Spec as a potential last hurrah for the aging Godzilla in its R35 guise. That remains to be seen as some reports indicate the current-generation supercar could get a mild-hybrid setup and even a more powerful Final Edition before being retired within the next few years. What comes after that? The R36, of course.

In a press release issued by Nissan Australia regarding the 2022 GT-R, the regional division's managing director Adam Paterson confirmed the performance machine will bid adieu Down Under. However, the fact it will be retired this November since it no longer meets side-impact crash regulations does not represent "the end of the GT-R story in Australia."

While his statement might make some people think the R35 could be updated to meet stricter legislation, the very same Adam Paterson went on to mention the 2022 GT-R "will mark the closure of this chapter for this generation vehicle." As if that wasn't enough, he talked about the T-Spec and Nismo SV special editions being the "last time the current-generation vehicle will be offered in Australia."

Even though this isn't a direct confirmation of an R36-gen model, it is the next best thing. The question on everyone's lips is: "When will Nissan finally introduce the new GT-R?" There's also the issue regarding how "new" the next-generation model is going to be as some reports indicate it will ride on an updated version of the current platform, which is a strategy the Japanese brand has used for its other sports car, the 2023 Z.

That mild-hybrid setup we mentioned earlier could in fact be earmarked for the R36, which will supposedly retain the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 tweaked for more efficiency to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. The R36 is likely still a couple of years away since logic tells us Nissan will initially reveal a concept, much like it did with the Z Proto.

Going back in time, the R35 introduced in 2007 (yes, it's 14 years old) came after the 2001 GT-R and 2005 GT-R Proto concepts.
