2012 Nissan GT-R
Future Japanese Sports Cars Nissan GT-R, Lexus SC and Toyota Supra.
Details on the version of the second generation Nissan GT-R today are swirling through two major players with strong ties to the next supercar from Japan first, the director of Nissan Design, Shiro Nakamura, has confirmed at a media event in Britain that the next version of the fast but slow supercar sold in Japan will remain a front-engine February 2 cut with AWD yet he also said GT-R Loyalists not get their hopes on the car to adopt the concept of the 2020 Gran Turismo style vision elements created by Nissan for the latest version of the Gran Turismo video game Meanwhile, race car designer Ben Bowlby, the man behind the DeltaWing and Nissan ZEOD RC, confirmed that the next road continues GT-R will feature a version of the twin-turbo 3 0 liter V-6 with a hybrid power that propels the racing car Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, that appeared in the June 24 Hours of Le Mans in France This means the standard version of the powertrain street should easily eclipse the 545 hp produced by this GT-R twin-turbo 3 8 L V-6 and perhaps exceed 600 hp from WG-R NISMO special edition of the V-6.
Godzilla continues to inspire just as much fanboy arguments about its capabilities as ever When you consider that the current GT-R first turned a lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife N in 2009, sustained competitive against cars such as the Corvette Z06 and McLaren 650S is really something to see, so we can imagine how impressive performance hybrid boosted will be when fully updated model arrives we also expect will finally complete with interior and much improved overall refinement update.
We're not sure the next Nissan GT-R may disappoint, given his dedication to technology and performance per dollar ratio ungodly Today GT-R has taken shots to be too complicated and awkward, albeit usually a matter of personal taste, however, it is impossible to imagine a new car packed with even more technology that suffer teething problems and is there a chance that the legal dispute between Don Panoz one side and Nissan and Bowlby Nissan motorsport boss Darren Cox on the other could impact on the GT-R development.
Lexus wants to be anything but boring polarizing style and high performance models are a start, but a large cut flashy is a must for the Lexus cement in the luxury of the great Based on the next generation of Lexus LS new two-door will three powerful powertrain version high yield 5 0 liter V-8, a hybrid configuration of the mark by about 500 hp, and a range-topping F twin-turbo V-8 that could exceed 600 hp Lexus hope rebirth SC name will evoke memories of the SC elegant coupe from the 1990s.
The Lexus LS hasn t really fulfilled its flagship shoes since the 1990s, and the sensational LFA was a hypercar with little actual call A big world style, high performance coupe that is more accessible could make a stamp Lexus It's accessible reference the LFA course the Standing Committee should go beyond the 100,000 mark, a relatively unknown territory for Lexus.
Big should be cut a classic beauty, something that might be hard for Lexus to express his aggressiveness, angular design language.
When Toyota unveiled its FT-1 concept car 2014 Detroit show car recalled the glorious past models-car manufacturer of Japanese sports, including 2000GT and, yes, the Supra revered The aerocentric concept FT-1, designed Toyota's arm Calty design Research based in California, may not be representative of ultimate style of a future production car and proportions But a partnership between Toyota and BMW to share a new midsize platform sports cars called Silk road should give the project a solid base Toyota has hinted the production car with rear-wheel drive will pack a twin-turbo inline-six engine and perhaps a turbo four, the two BMW-sourced.
The Toyota Supra disappeared in 2002, and fans have been calling for since its rebirth Although cars like the Lexus RC F Toyota needs another serious competitor in the market for enthusiasts increasingly able Unfortunately, the Scion FR-S hasn t moved the needle, simply because it doesn t make a pretty strong statement a Toyota Supra to be a super sports car not only sports such as FR-S.
As noted, a ready-made audience of potential buyers Supra exists and is eager to hybrid power, although unlikely, would make the car more difficult to tuner and less attractive to the performance aftermarket junkies And then there that Toyota could choose not to use the Supra badge Maybe the car would perform Lexus brand instead that the move upmarket it would be a risky move, but it is probably safe to say that it is unlikely since the creation of more rivalry between Lexus and BMW wouldn t adapt the plan now work for cooperation between the two. Marqués
Industry rumblings vary, but the Toyota Supra is probably happen in 2016 as a 2017 model and 2017 as 2018 model.
