While it definitely needs a jolt in the arm in terms of mass-market icons, the Japanese automaker Nissan is certainly not in any short supply of legendary models.
Think about the Nissan Patrol if you're an off-road gearhead, the GT-R lineup if you're a grand touring enthusiast, or maybe the Z family if you're more into affordable sports car rides. Each of them has something that will appeal to the diehard fan, of course.
They are searching for the next great things now, as the company is putting into motion a humongous plan spanning 30 new models of the ICE-powered, electrified, and all-electric variety. Since Infiniti has already launched the QX80 full-size SUV, everyone and their mother knows that the Armada sibling will come next in line for a new generation of family-oriented off-road adventures.
Next up, the Frontier mid-size pickup truck has just received the cool Hardbody Edition special model, so it's not going to get updated very soon; the all-new Leaf is only coming around 2026 to America after it morphs into a crossover SUV with production based in Sunderland, UK, and the not-so-little Kicks now looks cooler than ever. As such, what can the rumor mill and imaginative realm of digital car content creators do to pass the time?
Of course, they are imagining an all-new iteration for the flagship Nissan GT-R sports car slash grand tourer. Offered with upgrades for the 2024 model year starting from $121k, this nameplate has been in production since late 2007 and has aged like fine wine or grown way too long in the tooth – depending on your POV. Obviously, Nissan wants to stretch it as long as possible before deciding whether to bring out the eagerly-awaited R36 iteration as another ICE-exclusive generation, complete with hybrid assistance, or even as an all-electric successor.
Well, the rumor mill's imaginative realm of digital car content creators cares less about the technical stuff and more about the virtual design projects, including when the R36 Nissan GT-R saga is involved. For example, Mexico-based designer Naoto Kobayashi (aka _nao.what_ on social media) has experience working as an intern for Volkswagen but loves other brands as well. His latest idea comes in the form of a stylish Nissan 'DiGT-R' sports car, which combines the Direct Injection Gasoline Turbocharged technology with the GT-R name.
Obviously, he's probably not referring to the meager 1.3-liter DiG-T engine on this occasion but an evolution of the 3.8-liter VR38DETT that switches from multi-point to direct injection like on the VR30DDTT used on the Infiniti Q50, Q60, and Nissan Skyline plus Z. As for the design, it's properly futuristic and only keeps hints of the iconic elements shared by the Skyline GT-R with the R35 GT-R model. So, what do you think?
