In an exclusive interview with Autocar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Nissanâ€™s design head Alfonso Albaisa was quoted as saying that the next-generation Nissan GT-R could become the â€œfastest super-sports car in the world.â€Â Quite the bold statement, but for those who follow Nissan closely, you know that the sky is the limit for the innovative automaker.Â

The GT-R is currently in the very early stages of design and engineering â€“ the supercarâ€™s powertrain and all-new platform have yet to be finalized. Speculators have been questioning whether the GT-R will be electrified. In the interview, Albaisa he admitted that electrification was possible, but not confirmed.Â

â€œWe are definitely making a new platform and our goal is clear: the GT-R has to be the quickest car of its kind,â€ he told the publication. â€œIt has to own the track. And it has to play the advanced technology game; but, that doesnâ€™t mean it has to be electric.â€

As for its styling, Albaisa said the next-gen GT-R would be imposing, have presence and be a beast. He even went so far as to call the supercar â€œthe worldâ€™s fastest brickâ€ with â€œless wingâ€ and more heft to it.

Based on Albaisaâ€™s comments in the article, it appears that the production car is still several years away with some industry insiders commenting that we may not see the new GT-R debut until the next decade. Good things come to those who wait!Â
