By Nissan has taken the wraps off its spectacular new concept, the Hyper Force, an all-electric powerhouse that’s raising eyebrows and adrenaline levels in the automotive world. While Nissan hasn’t explicitly labeled it as an R36 GT-R preview, the silhouette and design cues suggest that this might just be a glimpse into the future of the legendary Godzilla. The Hyper Force’s ultra-aggressive styling is impossible to ignore. It flaunts a bold rear wing that could put many airplanes to shame and mesmerizing butterfly doors.
The distinct quad round taillights and the white and red illuminated blocks at the front make it clear that this concept has the iconic GT-R DNA running through its veins. It’s a futuristic take on Nissan’s flagship sports car, and the boldly styled body is adorned with canards and electrically operated vents in the front fenders. At the back, there’s a colossal wing that could probably be spotted from the moon. The massive doors and rear diffuser contribute to the car’s extraordinary presence. Adorning forged carbon wheels, the Hyper Force looks like it’s been plucked from the world of Gundam. However, if a production version is in the cards as the next GT-R, it’s likely to undergo some significant toning down.
Inside, the cabin feels like something out of a high-end PC gaming setup with an abundance of LEDs. As this concept is designed with a track-focused approach, it ditches the conventional round steering wheel in favor of a racing wheel. Angular seats with superb lateral support and what appears to be a carbon fiber shell further emphasize its performance-oriented character. Nissan has left no room for guessing with its two driving modes: R (racing) and GT (grand touring).
Underneath the striking exterior and tech-packed interior lies the real star of the show – a solid-state battery system delivering a jaw-dropping 1,341 horsepower through 1,000 kilowatts of electrifying power. This electric supercar features Nissan’s e-4ORCE system, translating to all-wheel drive with motors at the front and rear. While specifics like acceleration and range remain undisclosed, a glimpse at the head-up display indicates a top speed of 320 km/h (nearly 200 mph).
As for when the R36, or any production version inspired by the Hyper Force, will hit the streets, it remains a mystery. History suggests that it could take several years, as the R35 arrived six years after the initial concept was introduced in 2001. However, one thing is for sure – the Hyper Force is igniting excitement and sparking anticipation for what could be the next chapter in the GT-R’s legendary saga.
