Nissan is preparing to build the Nissan GTR R32 electric car

In the more than three decades since the classic R32 GT-R debuted in 1989, Japanese automaker Nissan has taken a step forward towards an all-electric powertrain, releasing an exciting new teaser posted to YouTube for what It is called the “GTR R32 EV”, and we will introduce you to it in this report.

With automakers rapidly shifting towards the new electric age of automobiles, the brand is looking to expand its electric vehicle lineup, electrify and accelerate its position in the zero-emissions market by bringing R32 into the electric age.

Nissan GTR R32 electric car

Nissan has revealed that it is working on an electric version with modern technologies that may be available in the near future of its legendary R32 Skyline GT-R, which is classified as a high-performance super coupe, and this will raise some controversy.

It seems clear from the teaser published by the company that the project is still in its infancy, and it is possible that this project will raise great interest in what we can expect from the fully electric cars coming from Nissan.

The company has also launched a small website on which a bit more information has been provided, indicating that other teasers will be revealed soon.

The electric future of the classic Nissan GTR R32

• According to the short text accompanying the teaser video, the brand confirms that the “R32 EV” electric prototype it is currently developing was launched by an engineer who recently joined Nissan with a special interest in this particular model. 
• This engineer was quoted as saying, “I want to build a more exciting car by adding the latest electrification technology that I share in my favorite car.”
• This engineer added: “By combining the car that I love so much with the technology that I think is the best, we can create a car that people all over the world will be more excited about.”

The teaser video for the electric GTR R32

• While this first teaser video posted by Nissan to YouTube and Twitter shows the rear of the iconic R32’s powering the RB26DETT’s turbocharged six-cylinder combustion engine and slowing down with the sound of a conventional exhaust system, the video may only show the beginning of the R32’s journey or hint at a possible acoustic exhaust system for the engine. The concept will not have a petrol engine, as the display reads “R32 EV”.
• The next EV will likely be with some form of artificial sound amplification to evoke the howl of an RB26 engine.

Specifications of the GTR R32 electric car

• Details are few and far between at this point, but this first look points to the development of an all-electric concept.
• It’s unclear at this point whether the R32 EV project will simply add electrification to the Skyline’s combustion engine to create a hybrid drive or equip it with a pure electric motor.
• However, most reports indicate that the next car will most likely be a hybrid, with electric auxiliary systems for the gasoline engine to enhance its performance and improve fuel consumption, with the fully electric engine being delayed for a later time.
• In its standard form, the R32 featured a 2.6-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine that produced 276 hp.
• In 2021, Nissan showed off its electric powertrain technology in the Ariya Single Seater Concept, using technology that made its way into the Ariya SUV.
• The new car can benefit from Nissan’s most efficient electric powertrain currently in the Ariya e-4ORCE Performance, with an electric motor at the rear axle and another electric motor at the front axle producing a combined 389 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque with system The advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive.
• Most likely, Nissan will put an electric motor on each axle to retain the car’s existing all-wheel drive, and Nissan could modify its dual electric powertrain to produce more power for their new car.

The launch date of the Nissan GTR R32 electric car

• With this project set to start within the next couple of years, it will be interesting to see how Nissan handles the all-electric transition in this car.
• But the question remains whether customers would prefer to replace the traditional RB26 engine with a twin electric motor, even if it adds more power to its new car.
• There is likely to be a huge demand for this car, especially by consumers looking for an all-electric version of the GTR .
• However, there are still aficionados of traditional cars who may stick to the traditional GTR R32.
• Ultimately, actual demand depends on customer preferences, pricing, vehicle specifications, and technological factors.
