Nissan North America Chief Planning Officer Ponz Pandikuthira told The Drive that the next‑generation R36 Nissan GT‑R is in very early development, with more news likely around 2028 and the production car expected before 2030.
Pandikuthira said the R36 would likely retain some form of the twin‑turbo V38 V6 but will require hybridization to meet global emissions regulations if Nissan intends the GT‑R to be a worldwide model.
The existing R35 GT‑R used all‑wheel drive, a twin‑turbo V6 and a dual‑clutch transmission to deliver high performance, and electrification for the R36 could enable greater power, torque vectoring and advanced control systems.
Pandikuthira’s timeline frames a multi‑year development process for Nissan, with updates expected in 2028 and the final vehicle targeted for release before 2030.
