Talk around the next Nissan GT-R is building again: fresh reports suggest the R36 could debut in 2027, and in hybrid sports-car form. With R35 production ending in the summer of 2025, the timing looks sensible. The name is too significant to disappear for long, yet delivering a purely electric GT-R has turned out to be tougher than it seemed a couple of years ago.Earlier, the scenario on the table pointed to a launch closer to 2030 as a full EV. Now, judging by leaks, that plan is being reconsidered: the EV market isn’t expanding as quickly, while emissions rules in key regions keep tightening. Nissan needs a compromise that preserves the model’s character while fitting within the regulations. The most straightforward path is a hybrid, which can cut cycle emissions without sacrificing the visceral, mechanical sense of power longtime fans expect.Alongside the rumors, new renders of the supposed R36 have surfaced. The author imagines a more contemporary front end, while the rear keeps a clear link to the R35—the visual anchor that maintains continuity.Right now, a hybrid GT-R feels more realistic than a full leap to electric drive. If Nissan can retain the ferocity and endurance and treat the hybrid system as an amplifier rather than a muzzle, the R36 has a real chance to regain its Godzilla aura under a new rulebook.
