Nissan GTR LM Nismo Confirmed for GT Academy Final!!!

[Tornado]

Maybe Nissan is banking on increased efficiency being their ace in the hole?

The days of cars being fast and beautiful are officially over. Not liking the new age of motorsports.

 

[sparkytooth]

I actually think this machine is quite attractive.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

That's one ugly 🤬 Car

 

[Arixant]

If theres something that worries me its the behind the scenes write up that says the car broke down two times while filming.

Guess they haven't sorted all the issues with the car, it seems. Well, it isn't a common setup, that's for sure...

New car, untested. It's somewhat expected.

 

[Dan]

So definitely not ironic then.


Unless GT5 is dramatically different from how GT6 did things in that regard (and offline it wasn't), it really doesn't.

I haven't played in a while, but I remember quite a few career and seasonal events in GT6 penalizing players for cutting corners and ramming AI.

I love the fact that it is so out of the norm.

As do I. However, I'm afraid that it will suffer the same fate as the Deltawing: New technology that rarely makes it to the finish line because of mechanical issues.

 

[RACECAR]

One thing I'm curious about is how they managed to package the drivetrain, gearbox, flywheels and the engine (with the twin turbos) all in the front.

Speaking of ugly.

Like every other car that has bought new technology for the first time?

Maybe, but Delta Wing was a last minute project that Nissan just tacked their name on it with probably much tinier budget.....

This is a factory LMP program that Nissan came out and claimed they want to win in 2 years. You'd hope they can back it up...

The Delta Wing probably could have made it if the TS030 didn't basically drive into it.

With the original Deltawing, it was too small and no one could see it. The current one can be seen more easily with the closed cockpit.

Yep. They were pacing themselves to make it 24 hours. Too bad they couldn't make the finish... or even 12 hours.

FF for weight distribution = more weight on front tires to help with steering.

Everyone should read this article.

Making 16" wheels sexy again.

The Nissan DP that was seen the commercial.

Granturismo logo! HYPE IS REAL

 

[GTPorsche]

It's the GT Academy logo.

 

[Tornado]

And it isn't on the LMP car, unless there is another one I can't see.

 

[fortbo]

I think your sarcasm detectors might be broken.

 

[CodeRedR51]

And it isn't on the LMP car, unless there is another one I can't see.

I would bet the livery isn't final yet, might be missing a few sponsor stickers, etc.

 

[Pootis]

Lets see...

FF layout
Gearbox is in the nose
Flywheels that power the rear wheels with 1,000 HP bursts lasting 3 seconds
Front wheels wider than the rear wheel

How will this turn out?

 

[Kurei]

That moment, when you're interested in every LMP car in this thread, present & past, except the GT-R one...

Gimme dat Nissan DP or the Momo Porsche, would rather those over the GT-R for GT(R)6/7/5.5

 

[FoRiZon]

Looks incredibly light.

 

[Quakebass]

Moon racing confirmed

Moon under the Nismo.
