It"s easy to get swept up in the business of figuring out what Nissan plans to do with its next generation, R36" GT-R. Hybrid? Fully electric? Moon lander?Though we"ve got a good idea on what the next Godzilla might feature, don"t count out the current one just yet. Because despite its advancing years, the R35 "has still got some more life in it", we"re assured.Earlier this year, we saw the 2017 GT-R; the most comprehensive refresh of the R35 GT-R since it was launched. Nissan thinks of the GT-R in two distinct realms: the GT" bit (comfort, luxury and what have you), and R" (the banshee, lap-slaying Internet-friendly bit).Nissan told TG that "there are still areas we know we have opportunities to improve on with the R35". When pushed on what those areas might be, the company said: "There are things we can do from an R" point of view (so speed", then), and the weight has always been a source of criticism for this car, even if it doesn"t show in the performance."So there are things we can do with the weight. There are opportunities there."
