Nissan unveils electric version of 1980s Skyline GT-R sports car

Automotive brand Nissan is presenting its R32EV concept model at this week's Tokyo Auto Salon – an electrified iteration of its popular R32 Skyline GT-R sports car known as Godzilla.

The original R32 Skyline GT-R was created in 1989 and became a staple at racing events thanks to its 2.6-litre twin-turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive technology.

Now, Japanese automaker Nissan has reimagined the car with an electric motor as part of the R32EV concept, which will be unveiled at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon automotive show.
