Nissan has remained relatively tight-lipped about the next-generation GT-R but new details are starting to emerge about the upcoming model.

According to Motoring's sources, the car will look like a "toned-down version" of the Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo which will unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year. The car is also slated to feature a more aerodynamic design and an increased focus on improved cooling capabilities.

Power will reportedly be provided by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine which is backed up by an electric motor. Nothing is official but the website says the car will have a combined maximum output of roughly 785 PS (578 kW) and 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque.

If everything pans out, a concept could be introduced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show before the production model arrives in 2018.
