All these features are already seen in the Nissan Infiniti Essence Concept.

After Ferrari La Ferrari, the Porsche 918 Spyder and the McLaren P1, all featuring the hybrid technology, Nissan also set to adapt the hybrid technology and as it has recently registered a patent for “R hybrid” brand to use the Hybrid Technology in the next GT-R.
