If it looks like a GT-R and terrifies like a GT-R, is it... well, it’s actually called the Nissan Hyper Force, a radical high-performance electric supercar that capped off Nissan’s run of concepts at the Japan Mobility Show.
Concept, yes, but all the hallmarks of a future electrified Godzilla are present and correct, including bombastic power output and bleeding-edge tech. The HF Concept features a solid-state battery – they’re finally here! (ish) – and produces up to 1,000kW of power, which equates to 1,341bhp in old money.
Nothing old about the way it’s delivered, of course. That herculean output is harnessed by e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive tech, packaged up inside a lightweight, angular body that not only pays homage to the current GT-R – boxy silhouette, quad tail-lights, anger – but features high-strength carbon and a lot of aerodynamic performance, the latter developed in collaboration with Nismo.
