    There's a big difference between the Toyota AE86 EV restomod, which takes advantage of the lightweight RWD chasis and the electric instant torque for a very capable drift machine, and just swapping the Leaf powertrain into a GTR.

    As a huge Skyline fan this disappoints me!

    Some cars fit the EV treatment. I'd love an EV swapped VW Camper, for example. However, the R32's meant to have the RB motor. Thats the soul of that car.

    Nissan- let's take the best part out of one of our best cars and replace it with something that will make the fans mad

    Here's my take on electric resto mods. If you start with a car that originally had a weak engine like an old Triumph or MG, then you're good. But if you're using something that had an iconic engine like an RB26, 2JZ or even the flat 12 in the recently redone testarossa, you deserve to be flogged

    I'm an R32 Guy!❤
    This car was the best invention and the car which made the way for the GT-Rs in the Future!
    It means much to the Japanese community and without this R32, it never would have been such a nice JDM Story with other cars in this direction made.🎉

    It's an insult for racing fans, JDM / Gran Turismo / Initial D fans by removing the legendary RB26

    I’m not a massive Skyline/GT-R fan, but I do have a preference for the R32, especially in regard to its appearances in Gran Turismo. It’s bad enough that I find most EVs to be generally uninteresting, but to take such an iconic model and convert it into an EV is just blasphemous. The RB26 engine is the heart and soul of this car. We like to hear Godzilla roar. This restomod just neuters it.

    Why would anyone do that to a R32 GTR

      You were the chosen one, you were supposed to bring balance to JDM, not destroy it

    Personally, I'd buy a Zeekr 001FR instead. Because I can :)

    Well, if there was any sign of Nissan doing poorly before now they're just showing how powerless they truly are. I doubt Nissan will disappear altogether but their days as an independent company are very much numbered.
    And yes, you can't pick a worse car for an EV conversion. EV conversions are for cars that have nothing but style to them, meanwhile the R32 is one of the dullest legendaries ESPECIALLY stock.

    If it was a brand new car, it would be pretty cool. If it was a original example, it is awful, in my opinion.

    Completely unnecessary, ruined a perfectly good car.

    Unnecessary from Nissan. Ruined a perfectly good car. I much preferred the restomodded AE86 Toyota revealed some years back because they actually respected the car's identity by making its actual engine hydrogen powered instead of making it a soulless EV

    @lozo4745 13 годин тому

    The only way i would see this working is if you need power to the front wheels so you add a motor to each front wheel. Kinda like the kit that came out for the type r civic. But full ev 🤮
