    110hp electric? That sounds so wrong... but seriously, if they just used a gas motor to charge capacitor banks, it wouldn't have to be as heavy as a battery hybrid, and could have the monster launch ability of an electric drag racer...

    Like it or not, the modern-era GTR has been an exhibit of the latest in car tech, all in one machine. Everyone has a different balance of what's too much.

    Put skirts on it and make a wagon version and it will be the only car I will ever need.

    I love the sound of fanboi heads exploding. Only quieter now and possibly with blown trannies. Some extra charges may apply.

    The only electric GT-R I want to see is one powered by a fusion engine. Until that time, make mine with more turbo.

    Hybrid powertrains are quickly becoming the Bluetooth earpiece of the automotive world: dorky, invasive, annoying, unnecessary, and ubiquitous.The GT-R is already massively overweight and overcomplicated but it's hardly wanting for techno credibility, since the tech it has allows it to comprehensively overcome its Manuel Uribe-style porkitudinosity.

    Nissan board room:
    VP #1:"How can we add more weight to the GT-R?"
    VP #2 "Do you mean gravitas? The GT-R is pretty much there already."
    VP #1: "No, I mean more kg's. The car is a lightweight. I know, let's make it a silly hybrid that adds another 68 kg. Then we can call it green and envirofriendly."
    VP #2: "Whatevar, dude-san."

    Makes sense, as Godzilla always did that awesome electrical thing with his spine plates. Hopefully the GT-Rh will retain this feature.

    And speaking of Rh, what about a Baby Godzilla?

    @LuciferV8: I think this was made with more love...but only because Lexus engineers are engineered.

    Still, for Ferrari, super-performance cars are par for the course. The LFA is so strange and so much work went into it that one is indeed left with a hard choice...if one cannot afford both, that is.
