Hi all,

Nissan presented its new LM GT proto.

Unfortunately it's based on the new Fairlady Z instead of the GT-R,

anyway,


3.5 V6,450 hp bloody beautiful Porks-eater.

Now,that's a good reason to be at Le Mans next year!

Go Fairlady!

Dino,my source was incorrect.
I saw the same pics referred to the LM proto.

Any idea?

I_Romo....The pictures I linked are from Nismo's website. They refer to it as the GT car. I think your source has been playing too much GT Concept as the Z33 race car is called the "LM" version in the game.

Far as I know Nissan has no intention of racing a car at Le Mans next year...

Ciaoooz

Oh,I see.

Then we should think about writing a letter to Autosprint

Read the new in this week's issue.They clearly talk about LM 2003.

The article says a N-GT version for FIA-GT championship is on schedule.

they report words by Yutaka Suzuki,chief engineer of the project...


ah,from now on....write Romo(simpler )

I'm not sure if it will participate in the FIA-GT championship. If it will then all the better!!! I'm sure if Shin reads this 3d he'll give us some clear answers!!!

Romo...just found this german article on the Z. Apparently the car shown will indeed race in the JGTC championship, but there was no mention of the FIA championship, only Americam LM series. I can't read german, but they do mention the GT300 and GT500 class....
Anyway they also refer to it as the GT-rennenwagen YAAAAAAA

well,ALMS series and FIA GT are fairly compatible.

Maybe Nissan is still deciding depending on wich market is judged the most important for the Fairlady.
