2013 Nissan GT-R Hybrid in the Works

I think they should have left it in the SUV model, makes no sense in the GT-R unless you're cruising around town.

Looks like Porsche is squarely in Nissan's sights again. I love it. Reminds me of the 80's.

A high-performance electric engine is a thing of beauty. Cruising around town will not be in the design plan. Don't let 'Hybrid' fool you. This ain't no Prius.

I'm an engineer, so I'm well aware of the physics. There is no way to power a 160W electric motor continuously for a track session without a massive battery pack. Sure it will go fast, but not for long. No serious tracker is going to buy this vehicle, it's for the "me too's" to take it cruising and show off, that's it.
