Nissan, through their Nismo motorsports division, started working on the GT-R LM Nismo <\/b>in early 2014. The car was ready the next year, and in February 2015 it was first shown<\/a> (1\u201932\u201d video) to the public. The GT-R LM was a very unique car, with a V8 up front but with front<\/i> wheel drive. The idea behind the concept was that you can generate more efficiently front downforce, and with less drag. And less drag means higher speeds, which is always a plus when thinking about that long straight at La Sarthe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some think that the GT-R LM was nothing more than a publicity stunt…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The chassis was a carbon fiber affair, and the gearbox, situated in front of the engine, was a sequential X-Trac 5-speed. The engine was a 3000 cm\u00b3 V8 with dual turbochargers and direct fuel injection, delivering 500 hp. BUT, Nissan didn\u2019t stop there. To make things even more interesting, they also added a KERS (kinetic energy recovery system<\/em>) linked to the rear wheels. With that, the KERS can add another 75 hp to the rear wheels on demand, transforming the GT-R LM in an all-wheel drive. Yes, like other cars from Audi<\/a> and Porsche<\/a>, the GT-R LM was an hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car is a looker, but the model isn’t.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The last Nissan prototype to race the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the R390 GT1 in 1998. Therefor, despite the tight development schedule, Nissan was under a lot of pressure when it fielded three GT-R LMs in the 2015 race. Of the three, only #22 finished the race, but did not classify, while cars #23 and #21 had to abandon. Car #23<\/a> here had to abandon on lap 234 with the transmission in flames. So all in all, a very frustrating result, to the point that Nissan walked away from the endurance prototype business after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painted tail lights?!? Come on…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In 1:43 terms, it\u2019s a nice model, but is NOT a Spark. The car\u2019s overall shape looks good in scale, and detail in general is quite good. But painted<\/em> tail lights just don\u2019t cut it for me. In the end I\u2019m glad I bought it, because I got it on sale. But if the GT-R LM is anything close to a grail model, take a deep breath and cough up the money for the Spark version. If I go after the red, white and blue #21 car, I\u2019m definitively going to get Spark\u2019s version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
