True. I finally got lucky -- with a woman this time.

I'm telling you a hybrid system with 400+ horses, probably 430 ish, is it. GTR has 800 on the new model, it's not a sales killer. This will once again put the z in front if the 5.0. Hybrid is the immediate future. Why wouldn't they?

Because they'll have to charge above $45k+ for 400hp, and at that price point, the avg user would probably just buy a Porsche.

Why? With an existing petrol and what they've learned from the LEAF, I don't see it above $32K

Because the base model Z right now is $30. So you're thinking you're gonna get all of that new power for only $2k...?

I hope you're right because I'd get one again, but that's being extremely optimistic with Nissan's pricing history.

Why not? With the years they've had to develop electric systems with existing petrol engines, to stay competitive it has to stay around $32k base.

Yes, except the average user couldn't afford to buy a Porsche either.

The Nissan 2020 Concept on GT6 is in fact a hybrid. It makes use of regenerative braking as well. The car hits 170 mph quickly then creeps up past 200 steadily. A hint for future power bands? We shall see...

Annnnd we're still talking about a 4 year-old article...

Yes... but, I don't think any manufacturers are quite ready to put out an affordable hybrid sports car.

The GT-R hybrid will come first -- and it will be at a premium price point.

if it does happen I will never buy it since we had a Jetta Hybrid with all the bells and whistles and after a year with only 7 k miles it depreciated it $10k....nomo hybrids for me
