The Next Nissan GT-R

[AudiMan2011]

Soo, it's been 10 years with the R35 now; when might a R36 debut?

I'd reckon sometime around late 2018 to 2019.

R36 and MKV would be great debut.

absolute earliest most optimistic scenario is a concept debuting in November of 2019 with a production model summer of 2020

I mean two cars in very different spectrum compared to the one they shared when they were MKIV and R34...

Because the 276bhp regulations have ended.

Because the 276bhp regulations have ended.

What does that have to do with being completely different cars in two different classes? Compared to being direct competitors two decades ago.

Because the 276bhp regulations have ended.

They never existed. It was an informal agreement.

I'd argue the more modest engines and development of the Mark V sit that car a lot closer to the Mark IV than the R35 ever was to the R34.

Doesn't matter for Australian sales. 161 per cent improvement.

I don't know sales figures, but I've always seen plenty in Melbourne. Now that I'm back in New South Wales, I'm seeing new models here and there.

I'm just talking crap, but what if nissan went back to a straight 6. Would anyone care for that?

Mazda are developing a straight six. It's possible, but other than Nissan's current finances, as long as the engine offered strong performance, shouldn't matter. Electrification would have to be on the cards.

I'm not sure of what benefit it would have over the current V6. The V6 is better for weight distribution and packaging.

I really thought that Nissan would only have resources to develop one sports car, but this is great news, really excited the GTR lives on!
