Hello and welcome to dec. 7th

 

3.2L V6 Twin electric-assisted Turbo, FR-L platform (Primary Front engine/Rear wheel drive transaxel, motor-assisted front wheel drive or "e-4WD") with Getrag 7-speed sequential gearbox.

Thats some sick shit right there

 

Update:::



The Prototype to be shown at this years Tokyo Motor Show will still in fact be a 'design concept', but don't let that fool you. Development is well underway, and what we see at Tokyo in Autumn should be almost final.

The Next GT-R's base body type is actually a Skyline! We've seen the test-mule being trialled at Nurburgring in Germany which was a rebadged Nissan V35 Coupe (LHD Infinity G35),

(this is the car they are talking about, everyone and their mom has seen being tested)


but actually the whole body will form the base of the next Skyline series 'V36'. This can be interpreted as 'the next Skyline (V36) will be designed around the GT-R underpinings, rather than the GT-R being based on the Skyline...'

Breaking news this time is that the Twin-turbo V6 configuration has had it's capacity increased to 3700cc. With the increased capacity, it further assists low down torque in conjunction with the electric motor assisted twin turbos, creating instant positive boost pressure when throttle is applied, giving a 'linear pick-up engine'. We expect the engine to produce in excess of 380hp, and although far higher figures have been quoted, we expect a conservative figure - in line with previous GT-R outputs from factory.

 

information i couldn't live without ...

 

dude, "electrically assisted?" what the hell does that mean? if its those gay electric turbos weve all seen on ebay, then nissan gets a slap in the face. puh...

 

no, i believe electrically assisted turboes come from F1 engineering or something where the pitch on the turbine and compressor changes with RPM's of the shaft.

 

Whats wrong with Concept Artists these days? Don't they realize they are RUINING beautiful machines by making them look ugly like that. I'm just glad I got my 89' in the bag, I don't have to worry about it. GT-R R34, R33, and R32's will always be the best, they can make as much fanciness out of the new GT-R as they want, but it won't compare.

 

EDIT: I lied about the elctrical assisted turbo's. I was thinking of variable ones.

here from Popular Mechanic's site Garrett has developed some already and a lot of semi trucks are already using them.

Garrett has also developed an electrically assisted turbocharger that doesn't rely solely on exhaust gas flow energy. At low engine speeds, an electronically controlled electric motor responds to engine load and boosts the turbo up to high-pressure speeds. At high engine speeds that produce enough exhaust flow to spin the turbo's turbine, the overrunning motor can be used as a supplementary generator for the vehicle's electrical system.

Electronics will eventually take over where vacuum controls leave off. Garrett produces different types of turbos that adjust themselves depending on the load of the engine. This helps to reduce the dreaded "turbo lag," that second or so between when you dip into the accelerator pedal and you actually feel the engine pull harder. By sensing engine load and controlling the turbo with fast, sophisticated sensors and actuators rather than engine vacuum, turbo lag will eventually become just a footnote in engineering text.

 

Nice...about time America started getting the Skyrine!!11!!...Now they need to bring the Supra back so we will have a fast Japanese car that looks good to...J/k...I think.

 

hmm once these become commonplace I wonder what car's nuts everyone's going to jump on.
