Nissan R390 GT1 97
Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car (1997)
With the moderate success Nismo’s Skyline GT-R has in Le Mans and the GT1 class’s nature of quickly evolving, a new car had to be built in order to keep the Japanese manufacturer in contention. As such, they called in Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and built the R390 GT1, whose name was based on Nissan’s contender in the 60s, the R380. Powering the car is Nissan’s own 3.5 L V8 twin turbo engine found in its R89C car, citing lower center of gravity and higher reliability, with an approximate power of 641 hp (650 PS / 478 kW). Scrutineering failure meant that not only the car had to be modified, but had various problems during the 1997 race.
