Nissan Reconsiders All-Electric GT-R, Says There Is No Clear Successor Plan

Soft demand for premium EVs is pushing the brand to weigh hybrid or low-volume halo options for its next flagship.

Overview

  • Product chief Guillaume Cartier says Nissan is exploring different routes for a future GT-R and currently has no defined plan.
  • Nissan’s 1,341-hp Hyper Force EV concept, once floated as feasible around 2030, is now uncertain for production.
  • The company signals the next GT-R would not be a high-volume model, with Europe offering only a few meaningful sports-car markets.
  • A hybrid powertrain or a limited-run halo approach is under consideration rather than a mass-market electric supercar.
  • Rival moves reinforce caution, with Maserati, Lotus, Porsche, and Polestar delaying or scaling back electric sports-car projects.
