Nissan has been extensively testing the GT-R LM NISMO in preparation for the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest endurance racing event. The Le Mans course is one of the most famous and includes a mix of circuit racing and closed public roads that test out endurance and speed. When this NISMO was built, engineers specifically designed the vehicle for top performance at Le Mans, customizing the build of the vehicle to best accommodate the track circuit.
In addition to tailoring this model specifically for Le Mans, engineers have been extensively testing out this impressive new racecar by bringing it to several tracks that have a similar layout to the track at Le Mans. When the GT-R LM NISMO takes the track at this year’s event it will also be the first time in the 90 years that the race has been running that a front wheel drive vehicle has attempted it.
Check out the video above to get a behind-the-scenes look at the testing and modifications that Nissan engineers made to this impressive race car.
