Next GT-R to be "Toned-Down" Concept 2020 Vision GT?

With few details even remotely available regarding the next generation of the legendary Nissan GT-R, every bit of information becoming available is a reason to celebrate. Especially when that information is good news like this. Speaking to Motoring, a Nissan designer has hinted that the next GT-R's design could be inspired by the stunning Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, the virtual mouthwatering sports car that Nissan presented earlier this year.

You can expect to see the next-gen GT-R get a toned-down version of the 2020 Vision GT car," said the source. The GT-R will be powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, with additional power coming from an electric motor, producing roughly 775 horsepower. But don't hold your breath; the next generation isn't expected to hit showrooms before 2018.
