Taking to the Hill for this year’s Goodwood Supercar Run will be Nissan’s all-electric BladeGlider prototype, as well as the latest-generation MY17 GT-R and GT-R Nismo.
The BladeGlider, last driven on the Monaco street circuit, represents Nissan’s most cutting-edge zero emission technology as well as an innovative automotive design.
After the first three days in which it will tackle the Hillclimb, the BladeGlider will be hitting the Goodwood circuit, where it will offer select media members a chance to take part in some of the first pan-European drive tests.
“As a pioneer of the electric vehicle movement, Nissan wants to get people excited about the future of zero-emission technology, and the Nissan BladeGlider does just that,” said Ponz Pandikuthira, Nissan Europe product planning VP. “The BladeGlider has been developed to bring fun, torque, efficiency and high-performance styling to the fore. Goodwood has been a world-famous showcase for many an iconic sports car over the years, so we could think of no better place to bring the BladeGlider out to play, demonstrating the Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision in action.”
As for the GT-R, it will be taking on the Supercar Run on Friday and Saturday in NISMO form, whereas on Sunday, the regular 2017MY GT-R will be roaring up the Hill.
