An electrified Godzilla is coming ⚡️
. And while our optimistic side saw ‘R32 Evolution’, maybe a factory sanctioned restomod for one of Japan’s most legendary automotive exports, it most definitely is EV as in Electric Vehicle. Heavens above.
There’s still some sound, however. This 20-second video features that iconic rear light signature with a start up; it’s unclear whether it’s the fabled RB26 straight six, but there’s definitely an engine in there. So it’s a Skyline hybrid rather than full EV, it would seem, though presumably there will be some zero emissions running possible if they’re using that name. This surely isn’t a mild hybrid situation. Note the exhaust you could fit your head in, too.
If you’re also wondering why, then Nissan has an answer. And Google Translate has made it English: ‘This initiative began with the desire of an engineer who joined the company because he admired the GT-R, saying,"I want to build a more exciting car by adding the latest electrification technology that I am involved with to my favourite car."’ Which is exactly the kind of passion we like to see in projects like this.
