Nissan has offered the first look at the nextgeneration GT-R with the launch of the new N Hyper Force concept at the returning Tokyo motor show.
The dramatic concept car is billed by Nissan as its "vision for a next-generation all-electric high-performance supercar" and is one of five launched by the brand under the 'Hyper' banner at Tokyo as it looks to preview its next generation of electric cars.
Tantalisingly, the Hyper Force confirms Nissan's intention that the GT-R will have a place in its future lineup. The firm plans to offer a full range of models from small EVs to performance cars, in a bid to give customers the same choice as in the ICE era, and Autocar understands the new supercar could go on sale by the end of the decade. "We want to provide choice for customers," said Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida when asked why the firm was showing so many new concepts at once.
"We're an EV pioneer and this is what we want to do," he added. "People's expectations change and they don't look at vehicles as before. We'll hear from customers what they think about [the concepts].
