Sixteen years after its unveiling by its deposed big boss Carlos Ghosn, the GT-R perhaps no longer has its former glory, having since been overtaken by many much more modern rivals.

Nissan, however, has not thrown in the towel when it comes to a sporty standard-bearer. Here is the Hyper Force concept, star of the manufacturer’s stand at the Tokyo Mobility Show.

Under this face that is both divisive and extremely angular, the style study directly inspired by the current GT-R features entirely electric mechanics. Nissan puts forward the figure of 1,360 hp transmitted to the ground by all-wheel drive. We do not currently know how many electric motors are used to produce this prodigious power. It is also specified that active aerodynamic appendages are grafted to its carbon fiber bodywork to keep the vehicle on the road at high speed, a delicate task with this cavalry, it goes without saying.

Beyond this theoretical demonstration, this Hyper Force takes advantage of a solid electrolyte battery, a technology which promises a major advance in vehicle autonomy as well as the weight, durability and size of batteries. Nissan emphasized at the start of the year that it wanted to launch this type of battery in 2028.
