Does this mean the next GT-R will be inspired by the R32, or something else?

It was 17 years ago that Nissan dropped the latest GT-R on our hands and it was a breakthrough. It incorporated a clever all-wheel-drive system, which sounded heavy on paper but made the car incredibly fast on the road, especially when it was first introduced. It looked great too and leveraged lots of modern tech. Now though, it's about to leave production and one Nissan executive just shared what to look forward to in the future. That executive is Matthew Weaver.

To him, the design must follow the functionality of the car though. The thing with the GT-R is that it’s got to perform in each area: aero, speed and performance. That’ll dictate it. The GT-R was never about winning beauty contests - it’s very much a functional machine. I remember working on the last one, where we spent days and nights in wind tunnels. I’ve never done anything like that since with any other product.
