The Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R's popularity is undeniable, particularly within the tuning community. Chances are you've come across builds boasting 1000 horsepower, formidable time attack machines, and various other impressive creations, thanks to the remarkable RB26 engine and ATTESA all-wheel drive system. Lately, it has also become a coveted collector's item for enthusiasts who cherish the nostalgia of 90’s Japanese Domestic Market cars.

However, it appears that Nissan believes they can enhance the R32 GT-R even more, not through engine tuning and performance upgrades, but by converting it into an electric vehicle. That's correct; Nissan has taken this immaculate Gun Metal Gray R32 GT-R and transformed it into an EV.
