This year's New York Auto Show saw Nissan reveal a facelifted GT-R complete with a new front end and a more powerful version of the twin-turbo V6 engine. But Nissan is hard at work on designing the next generation GT-R. Automotive News spoke with Nissan's chief creative officer, Shiro Nakamura. Nakamura said one of the key goals with the next GT-R is to boost the efficiency of the twin-turbo V6 and there is the possibility of the vehicle using a hybrid system. "Electrification is almost inevitable for any car. If the next-generation GT-R has some electrification, nobody would be surprised at that time," said Nakamura. Deciding the powertrain configuration will play a key role into how the next GT-R is designed. Nakamura admits redesigning the GT-R will be a challenge. "It's very tough to redesign this car, but we are starting now." Nakamura believes the GT-R still looks good because it doesn't try to copy or follow design trends. "To my eye, it still doesn't look old because it's not influenced by anything. If it tries to capture some trend, it would look dated," said Nakamura. The goals with the GT-R redesign is to improve overall aerodynamics and performance. Source: Automotive News (Subscription Required) Pic Credit: Newspress USA -

There's a video I just found and posted here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_f5JhCYq9w&feature=youtu.be As you can see, it shows a GTR smoking a Cummins diesel. Can anyone think of why this is even video worthy? I mean, isn't this what is supposed to happen?
