Electric cars are now the subject of growing interest from car manufacturers, who compete with ideas to offer ever more efficient and innovative models. With this in mind, Nissan has announced its intention to revive the legendary Skyline GT-R, a sports car well known to players of video games like Gran Turismo and Need for Speed.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R has been a Japanese automotive icon for over 40 years. Its success with video game enthusiasts and pop culture is undeniable, in particular thanks to the Fast & Furious film series which contributed to its notoriety. But today is a new challenge that Nissan must take up by offering a 100% electric version of its legendary car.

The Japanese brand recently posted a video on Twitter where you can see and hear a Skyline GT-R with a combustion engine, exhausts and six cylinders. However, Nissan hints that the « R32EV » project should give birth to an electric version of the car. A company engineer, a great admirer of the GT-R, has indeed expressed his desire to build a more exciting car by adding the latest electrification technologies.

This project could allow Nissan to catch up with its competitors in the electric car market, a key market for the future of the automotive industry. The Japanese manufacturer had taken a considerable lead with the launch of the LEAF in 2011, but since then it has fallen significantly behind. With the new Ariya and stunts like this, Nissan hopes to revive.

Even if the information around this R32EV is still quite thin, the brand has opened a web page dedicated to the project. Nissan promises to deliver a prototype « that people around the world will be excited to experience. » The engineer in charge of the project also promises « an even more exciting car to drive thanks to electrification ». We just have to wait to find out what Nissan has in store for us with this new version of the Skyline GT-R, a car that has already marked the history of the automobile.
