While a redesigned GT-R has long been part of Nissan's plans, the all-new version of Godzilla was originally slated to arrive in 2015, the automaker told Inside Line. The delay was partially due to the absence of GT-R chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno, who temporarily left Nissan due to health issues but has since rejoined the company.
Sources close to Nissan also report that the automaker is taking quite the interest in the hybridized Acura NSX, suggesting that the GT-R might become a hybrid as well at some point in the future.
