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.
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.
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.🎉
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.
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.
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
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 🤮

As a huge Skyline fan this disappoints me!

How to piss people off 101:
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

Noooo not my old faithful from GT1 amd Gt2, loved this wagon with the spec 3 turbo

It's an insult for racing fans, JDM / Gran Turismo / Initial D fans by removing the legendary RB26
Man that r32 made my day worse
Meanwhile in The Crew Motorfest... 😅

Why would anyone do that to a R32 GTR
NOOOO
I would love it 👊
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 :)
The only thing I like about it are the wheels
i think it’s cool. i would purchase one.
This is old news. This car has been around for a while now
It was being built since last year. Now its finished.
Bow it up

This gave me pain
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.
I actually dig it
@@LynxErgo no you don't
When you get a car you can do what you want with it
How turn an icon gay? Make it an EV.

Why ? this didn't make sense ? the only thing this car will attract are the tree huggers.
They ruined it smh. What the hell were Nissan thinking by electrifying Godzilla? That's a shame amd crime against the car community right there.
Electric cars is dead end
The next diesel arc, minus the long term practicality
All those who are against electric cars are hypocrites. "Oh you don't like electric motors oh, remove your starter than. Be a man"
This is a automotive icon that got butchered
Noooo its perfect the it is why would make it fully electric that's dumb
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 🤮
i'd drive it but im gonna sent it off a cliff after
I think it’s a great idea! The power must be insane
