Yes, you’d be forgiven for thinking it looks a bit like an Italdesign R35 that has been forced through a Roblox filter. Like the other Hyper concepts Nissan has been fielding in Tokyo, the GT-R wield’s a bold, straight-edged design language that makes the original R35 look like a 250 GTO.
Okay, there are a few typical GT-R hallmarks. Just look at that floating roof, the circular rear lights (very Italdesign) and the enormous rear wing, which this time hangs from a swan neck. There’s a 2+2-looking cabin with four haunches pressing outward to define the car’s corners. It’s bluff of both nose and posterior, with active aero over the front arches and on the front bumper in the form of canards. It is incredibly futuristic but somehow, it still couldn’t be anything other than a GT-R.
It should make sense that this Hyper Force Concept looks a bit like it’s from the world of Gran Turismo, for Nissan claims it’s been designed for ‘racing enthusiasts and gamers, who crave the adrenaline rush of the racetrack but are also eco-conscious’.
