Design & features
The design has little in common with the current GT-R, but there are nods to the legendary Skyline lineage with the design of the front and rear headlights.
The Hyper Force concept features a lightweight body with carbon fibre used in its construction. Nissan says that this body, combined with “powerful downforce” and the advanced control of the E-Force all-wheel drive system allows for “enhanced cornering and exceptional handling on circuits and winding roads”.
