Post FIA-GT1 Nissan GT-R spied, LeMans specs rumored

12-26-2008 12:00 PM

Filed under: , , , ,

Japan's Auto Sport magazine has procured a handful of shots and some preliminary specs on the FIA-GT1-ready Nissan GT-R, and judging by the modifications and performance stats, Nissan is planning an all-out assault on the series and a possible campaign at LeMans.

In order to get the GT-R up to snuff, NISMO has fitted the super coupe with a full body kit, GT-style wing, plexiglass windows, upgraded brakes, wheels and ducting, along with a hood reminiscent of the unit fitted on the SuperGT GT500 class GT-R. Informed speculation says that Nissan has ditched the twin-turbo'd 3.8-liter V6 in favor of a V8, possibly the 4.5-liter VK45DE used on the SuperGT racer.

The Nissan GT-R LM is rumored to be putting out 542 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque with a curb weight of 3,417 pounds and a price tag somewhere in the ballpark of 18,000,000 yen, or just under $200k US. Production is rumored to be limited to 300 units total, with 10 vehicles being built each month.

The LeMans car would only be sold to teams competing in the enduro, with a price tag of 65,000,000 yen ($720k US), 592 hp, 506 lb-ft of torque and tipping the scales at 2,976 pounds. There's still no confirmation when Nissan will begin campaigning the GT-R in a series outside of SuperGT, but don't be surprised to see an LM-spec car in at least one series in 2009.

Looks great ~ I'm really curious to see what they get out of whatever V8 they're using... hopefully some of that performance goodness will trickle down, and they'll have v8 goodies for us.

Seeing a Japanese competitor in Le Mans will definitely be cool too ~

That picture gave me a chubby.

I'd also like to see the V8, I think it'll be sick.

They get 500hp out of it because SuperGT is limited to 500hp they also aren't 4 wheel driven, it's prohibitedin both lemans and SuperGT.

Lemans follows Homolagation rules not SuperGT's style of use any engine from your make, which means they will stick with the V6 engine unless they make V8 road versions of GTR's.


VK45 are in Q45's FX45 and everthing from 2000 up that says 45 on it somewhere.

Bodykit and load of crap? Do you see the size of tire on that car? They are no where near comparable to the OE 20'' inch rims and of course they need vents and more down force.
