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

[trustjab]

So the company that had engine failure built the better engine ok then

And the record still stands 4-1 to Audi no matter how you try and sway it the results are there

Even when Audi only had one car they still came out on top.

Peugeot had a bad batch of Ti conrods in 2010. They lost 2011 from driver error. Thats not me "swaying the results" Those are the facts. Those two small things turned out to be huge. Le Mans is about luck as much as engineering and speed. Nissan will need fortune on their side like any other team.

What an epic car, I can't wait to drive it

I am really looking forward to trying this crazy machine. For us to have proper realistic competition for the GT-R LM Nismo we need it's real-life rivals. We need the Toyota TS040-HYBRID 2014 and Audi R18 e-tron quattro 2014.

I suspect the TS040 will be in GT7 as it is Japanese and won the WEC titles. Hopefully the R18 makes it too.

It's always nice to have more cars, but I wouldn't expect it, although it's perfectly possible in this case. It won't dull my experience of this unique car if they're not included.

It's certainly great to see the sort of manufacturer interest approaching what the event had in the GT1 days again.

 

[LastMan]

It does make the others look better, Its like the ugly chick in every group of girls.

I want that in GT6.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I don't remember who said this, but it does look like a hot rod from the future without the body. Holy damm that is amazing looking.

[Wide Boy]

Slightly nuts & talk about butt ugly, should provide a good challenge for the guys that like taking photos to try & compose a nice shot

He's got a point, actually. I mean the badge/logo is absolutely identical!

 

[LastMan]

lol Oh yeah man you are right, that logo upon inspection IS identical..

 

[Niku Driver HC]

lol Oh yeah man you are right, that logo upon inspection IS identical..

And it even has four wheels, another common point. Yes, there are a few similarites...

About as much resemblance as the LMP racecar has to an actual GT-R.

 

[LastMan]

It really just looks like a Zeod Deltawing with a wide front end and tongue sticking out. I personally puked a lil when I saw it, thought it might grow on me when I see the livery, but nope, it does't do it for me, one of the ugliest race cars of all time. No offense to those who like the look of it.

 

[R5]

one of the ugliest race cars of all time

Not by a long shot.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It may be ugly, but if it wins races, who cares?

 

[fortbo]

Its not ugly!

 

[Mr Taskforce]

I think you guys are over exaggerating. I mean in this pic it doesn't even look bad, just from the side it looks unproportionate.

 

[Hetare21]

If only the livery is more complex....

 

[Smurfybug]

Now just remember it's a Lemans car so it doesn't have to win a beauty contest, it has to go through aerodynamic design tests and after that they have to make it last a while on the fuel so your not going to have the prettiest design.

 

[FoRiZon]

No matter how the car looks, it probably safe to say its still better than the Platypus/Pingas and that woman thing F1 2014 nose.

EDIT: It turns out its from the SAME FREAKING YEAR. DAMMIT.

 

[fortbo]

No matter how the car looks, it probably safe to say its still better than the F1 2013 Platypus/Pingas and that woman thing F1 2014 nose.

Why is this thing even called a GT-R anymore? This thing has no relation whatsoever.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Why is this thing even called a GT-R anymore? This thing has no relation whatsoever.

Cause it has a badge that says GT-R

 

[Sage Ages]

Cause it has a badge that says GT-R

Why is it called such in the first place? No need to be a smart aleck.
