Nissan Alludes To A New GT-R R36, But When Will It Come?

With the GT-R T-Spec, Nissan hopes to give the R35 Godzilla one last big hurrah before it retires. That has to be seen, as some rumors claim the current-generation supercar could acquire a mild hybrid configuration and perhaps a more ferocious Final Edition before getting discontinued in the next few years. That being said, what's next? Without a doubt, the R36.

With regards to the 2022 GT-R, Nissan Australia sent a press release from managing director Adam Paterson, who announced the sports car would leave Australia. Although it will be decommissioned in November because of side-impact crash restrictions, this does not mean "the end of the GT-R story in Australia." In the pictures below you will see the 2020 Nissan GT-R50, not the R36.

For some who believe his statement implies the R35 could be revised to comply with more stringent government regulations, Adam Paterson also said the 2022 GT-R is "the end of an era for the current model year vehicle." Then there was the comment about how the T-Spec and Nismo SV limited editions were the "final time the current-generation vehicle will be available in Australia."

In the absence of official confirmation, this is the closest approach we have to an R36-gen model thus far. Nissan's new GT-R is eagerly anticipated by fans. When will it be unveiled? In addition, there's a question of how "new" the next-generation model will be since some rumors say that it will ride on an upgraded version of the present platform, which is a tactic that the Japanese manufacturer has employed for its other sports car, the 2023 Z.

R36
The mild-hybrid system we described earlier could be destined for the R36, which is expected to have the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 but have it tuned for greater efficiency to comply with ever-stricter emissions standards. GT-R R36 is still a few years away, as logic dictates Nissan will first present a concept car, similar to what it did with the Z Proto concept car last year. Back in 2007, the R35 was released after the 2001 GT-R and 2005 GT-R Proto concepts.
