According to Japan’s Auto Sport magazine, where this image was sourced, Nissan is planning an assault on the FIA-GT1 series or possibly Le Mans endurance racing.
While Nissan is yet to reveal any specs for the race car, or even confirm its existence, it is
expected to feature a Nismo bodykit, GT-style wing, plastic windows, uprated brakes and tires, and a vented bonnet. The car is also rumored to be running a naturally-aspirated 4.5L VK45DE V8 engine instead of the production model’s twin-turbo 3.8L V6. The V8 mill is the same unit used by Nissan for its SuperGT race car.

Other details include a rumored ¥65,000,000 ($720,000) asking price, a kerb weight of just 2,976lbs (the production model weighs 3,792lbs), and a power output of 592hp (442kW) and 506lb-ft (685Nm) of torque.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Fmb_PoRWwL7ADgt2lwKULL6TYjp3riP0L6sTGCfPGAKnPb6l3-sJPixc23OvDLQLU6rdFijBhqpdI9C_JPe0RXRQHfv6ZpqvzaLXMIotxusg9WK624RgkygKax6HBiY225HBL6MGhIp-/s400/nissan_gt_r_lm_fia_gt1_spy_003-1227-950x673.jpg)

One of the benefits of Nissan competing in motorsports with its GT-R is the introduction of street-legal homologation special. For its latest R35 GT-R, Nissan is once again expected to revive the LM badge for a detuned version of its GT-R race car, but like previous generations it will be very exclusive. Production is tipped to be limited to just 300 units and pricing could go as high as
¥18,000,000 ($200,000).
