What is the word on engine use for the R36? Just an upgraded VR38 with hybrid tech or a whole new design?

details are a little iffy beyond hybrid is confirmed. nissan is going to cross market it with the GTR Le mans car which is also hybrid and you will probably see a concept at tokyo motor show this november. there is still some R35 left with a face lift everyone thought was this year but didnt happen.
so i wouldnt expect the car until calendar year 2017 atleast
but If i was put on the spot it doesnt look to be a whole new design.. best guess is a reworked VR with 500-550hp then say 150-200 maybe electric. I think the electric will also be an over all power adder and not exclusively drive the front wheels as that seems way more complicated for a car trying to stay under say 120-140K price range
so yeah I think it will be a VR.. displacement could be different but who knows...also supposed to be paired with a 7 speed DCT
there really is a vaccuum of info on it with not even a rough mule spotted testing or anything
