Makes me really wonder if no new GTR is in the pipeline, at all...I mean they havent exactly made money on these cars but they are still just as potent as ever...2020 (if this is true) is a LONG way off. A lot could change and to not having anything planned at all...
Report: R36 Nissan GT-R Delayed Until at Least 2020
Report: R36 Nissan GT-R Delayed Until at Least 2020
The Nissan GT-R is an incredibly fast car that's capable of outracing almost any other car on the road. Only a few cars can out-accelerate it, and it's just as home on the track. Improving on that kind of performance is going to be difficult, especially if fuel economy regulations get even tighter.
Sadly, according to a report from Motoring.com.au, whatever the next-generation Nissan GT-R is, we won't be seeing it for at least another five years.
Responding to a report that the GT-R's redesign had been delayed until 2018, Nissan Australia's managing director Richard Emery said, "To be honest the company is not even talking about it. We are close to the life cycle in terms of cars now and in the future. In terms of direct conversation around GT-R, it's not on the horizon."
He then followed that up by saying, "It's certainly not 2018, and I can't see it even in 2019. It's not on the product plan list for that period."
That would make the current GT-R more than 13 years old by the time it's replaced. The news would potentially make the Nissan Concept 2020's name more accurate than previously thought, but Emery didn't actually confirm that the R36 would be coming in 2020.
For fans of the car, which includes us, this is disappointing news.
