Nissan has confirmed their famed budget supercar, the GTR, will eventually go electric. Speaking to Top Gear, Nissan's chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta admitted an all-electric GTR will happen, although it could be quite a while before we see it. Why? Because Nissan believes the technology isn't there at the moment to make compelling electric sports cars - an interesting take given the likes of Porsche and Lotus are already hard at work developing 2-door enthusiasts EVs. Gupta stated the following when quizzed about electrifying the GTR and Z lineup (via Top Gear.com):
"At present, when we do all the simulations to the electrification on these cars, we don’t find the right technology to define what is ‘Z’ and what is ‘GT-R’. And at the end, these two are not cars, these are our culture."
