Video: Nissan GTR LM Nismo Le Mans

Nissan is renowned for pushing the design envelope at Le Mans. Remember the Delta Wing? This year they’re competing in the top-tier LMP1 category with a design that’s equally groundbreaking. With the Nissan GTR LM Nismo, Petrol engine sits in the front driving the front wheels with electric motors turning the rears. Nissan think they’ve discovered a loophole in the rules regarding the aerodynamics and believe this configuration will give them the edge. Bad news is they’ve missed out on lots of testing where Porsche and Audi have looked even stronger.
