And @R1600Turbo said spy shots would be impossible.

The engine bay looks so small... V4? Very interesting design, although I hoped the headlights would resemble the regular GT-R more.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I like the headlights. They're just a tad bit long I think.

 

[Bo]

I had a mental image of it, this is much much worse.

 

[TheCracker]

Jesus! That thing is ugg-a-lee

 

[catamount39]

Everything up to the nose is okay...just give it a GTR nose and it'll be better.

 

[Bo]

Oh dear, I'm starting to like it.

 

[SK8RBOI]

It sounds like the GTR GT3 car! Almost like they would do it on perpose.

I defenatly think its the same!

 

[Ninners]

The early render by Jalopnik actually looks very similar to the real thing...

It even still has the snorkel on the front.

Oh god.

 

[R5]

Quite like it honestly.

It's interesting

Yea its unusal. I thourt I would hate it but I love it! I still don't know why I like it so Mutch, I think I suld hate it! If that makes sense

 

[RACECAR]

This presentation has been brought to you by Toyota.

 

[Legro]

So it's a DeltaWing coupe with longer and wider front (and a rear spoiler).

Hardly, its has almost no relation to the Deltawing, especially when you find out about how stiff like the drivetrain is setup.

I meant the way it looks. For me, at least.

And @R1600Turbo said spy shots would be impossible.

No, I said they would be impossible for their testing in AZ. I didn't say about anywhere else.

 

[SK8RBOI]

I had a thourt! What if it was front wheel drive as well! The front wheels are bigger then the front. Unlike conventional cars where bigger wheels are at the back!

The sides seem really flat compared to other LMP1s.

 

[catamount39]

I'll be honest, I'm glad that Nissan has taken a different approach to the LMP1 regulations and am glad that we have another cool looking contender at Le Mans. I wish it had a slightly better nose...but overall I'm even more excited for June now.

Sorry I was truly being serious...I was just shocked to see these spy photos today.

 

[SK8RBOI]

The rear of the car is really big! Maby the air flows all the way thou the car? Ther is a big gap above the diffuser!

 

[01Michael]

FF LMP1 anyone?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Here's some pictures of the other LMP1s at the same angle for ease of comparison:

 

[Brutaka]

I love it!

I'm gonna guess it'll turn out that Nissan are bluffing us and that it's just a Skyline saloon chassis with a weird body on top of it to lead people off the scent.

Bleh I'm a Nissan, bleh!

Nope.

 

[R5]

I'm kinda thankful this car was revealed

Now @R1600Turbo can't tease us about it.
