The Nissan GT-R chief product specialist is waiting for a green light from the powers that be to start developing the next-generation GT-R. When exactly that'll happen is anybody's guess.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - MARCH 16: The Nissan GTR at the Geneva International Motorshow 2019. Nissan placed a special"Yokohama edition" GTR on show, complete with Yokohama Livery down the side. The GTR has been in production for 11 years, with no real“I am just the GT-R lead conductor for the orchestra. The company will show me the members of the orchestra. They need to decide who will play the violin and who will play the trumpet.
Tamura seemed pretty understanding of the situation, however, and defended the already 12-year-old R35 GT-R saying, “We are still just at 12 years. This body construction I want to keep for as long as possible,” and went on to say, “Yes, R35 is long [in terms of age]. But for the model year 2017, it is almost a new body shape. The body is technology.
So the delay doesn’t stem from the chassis itself, but the engine or power plant choice. That’s what the Nissan powers that be are debating, and rightfully so.
There’s a reason the previous GT-R technology lasted as long as it did and why the R35’s base architecture seems long in the tooth: If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The current GT-R’s technology, despite being 12 years old, can still keep its “more modern” competitors honest on the race track. In 2017, the GT-R received a cosmetic redesign with a few tweaks underneath for improvement, but otherwise, not much else was needed.
The question still remains, when will we see the next-generation Nissan GT-R? Tamura, reassuringly told, “imagining for a next-generation [car] is already in a chat,” and they are “talking about the solutions.” However, as with any big company committee, when exactly the official go-ahead comes down from above is anybody’s guess.
