\"Nissan<\/a><\/p>\n

So back in November, Nissan finally confirmed after months of speculation that the highly anticipated 2016 Nissan GT-R<\/a> would in fact feature a hybrid powerplant. Now confirmation has come from Nissan Executive Vice President Andy Palmer saying that the Japanese automaker has registered both the Race Hybrid and R-Hybrid names set to debut on the next-generation Nissan GT-R.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Palmer stated that the next-gen GT-R will maintain the \u201cbrutal appearance\u201d of the current car meaning we shouldn\u2019t expect to see any flowing lines like the McLaren P1 we recently drove. However, that\u2019s certainly not a bad thing as the straight and sharp lines of the GT-R really add to its aggressiveness.<\/p>\r\n
