The new rules stipulated a maximum price for major components. And, the engine used had to be based on a production unit. For the new rules, Zytek Engineering used their current 07S car and developed it into the Z11SN. The new car had a carbon fiber monocoque chassis with double wishbone suspension and was powered by Nissan\u2019s VK45DE engine &#8211; the same power plant used on the NISMO GT-R Super GT. The VK45DE is a 4494 cm\u00b3 V8 with 32 valves and DOHC, capable of 460 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/p-z\/zytek_z11sn_38_02.jpg\" alt=\"Z11SN #38\"\/><figcaption>Though not elaborated, the livery looks good. It works well for the Z11SN #38.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jota Sport, a British sports car racing team, started using the ZN11SN (chassis #Z11SN-09) in 2012, and raced that same car, always with #38, until 2016, with pretty good results at European races. The best result of this car in the <em>24 Heures du Mans<\/em> was in <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-1.motorsport.com\/static\/img\/mgl\/1700000\/1700000\/1703000\/1703100\/1703105\/s8\/elms-imola-2014-38-jota-sport-zytek-z11sn-nissan-simon-dolan-harry-tincknell-filipe-albuqu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"2014 (opens in a new tab)\">2014<\/a>, when it came in 5th overall and in 1st place in the LMP2 class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/p-z\/zytek_z11sn_38_04.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>2012 was the first year that the &#8220;shark fin&#8221; became compulsory in LMP2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t say precisely why, but I\u2019m not a diehard fan of the LMP2 class&#8230; Being honest, I think I\u2019m a bit prejudiced against the class. Well, sometimes it looks like I only have eyes for LMP1 or GT cars. Silly, I know, since there\u2019s a LOT of blood, sweat &amp; tears in this class. Truth be told, maybe even more than in the \u201ccorporate\u201d classes of GT and LMP1 . And this car is a good example of this: a small budget team rubbing shoulders with the behemoths of the car industry and coming out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/p-z\/zytek_z11sn_38_03.jpg\" alt=\"Z11SN #38\"\/><figcaption>Plastic seat belts are not gorgeous on any model, nevertheless on an open-top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1:43 this <strong>Z11SN #38<\/strong> is quite nice, a very good effort by Spark.
