The bottom isn't completely falling out of manufacturer participation in motor sports. There is still some romance left in racing, after all.

Here we have a spy peek at the new Nissan GT-R FIA GT. You can check out the source links below for all the rumor you like, speculation seems to be that this one will come with a V8 with around 600 hp.

What you can see are a new front bumper and skirt made of carbon fiber, a massive rear wing, skirts all around, Plexiglass windows, and lots of air ducting, with large intakes at the side/rear, likely for the rear brakes.

That last item makes seem credible speculation that this GT-R will be a rear-wheel drive. GTR Center, linked below, has two sets of specs they consider likely for this racing model, one for FIA GT1 and another for Le Mans.

For the dedicated amongst you, you may already have a subscription to Auto Sport magazine, from which these leaked photos come from. Or you can just fly to Japan and nab one off the magazine rack at the airport in Tokyo and fly right back. They will likely have all the details in their next issue.

an FR r35.....im listening

That in the ALMS would be quite wicked to watch.

600 HP froma V8? It should be running/keeping up with the Z06's then right? That RWD or AWD?

Looks beastly!

looks cool, but I cant stand the street version...it's as big as a mustang, if not bigger!

i really dont like that car that much

I mean its a head turner since ther arent many on the street. But its not a thing of beauty at all.

It would be nice to see it in action but I realy HOPE it gets its AZZ kicked in all the races.

A fan of the car or not, u have to admit THAT thing looks pretty nasty. Could be used in Death Race II, LOL. A rocket launcher and a couple top mounted machine guns....good to go.

FIA GTR Update
 

http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090227....0-fia-gt-entry


Nissan has officially confirmed their entry in the 2010 FIA GT championships. The company will enter the R35 Nissan GT-R into the 2010 season, while the car will be raced as a non-championship entry during the 2009 season.

The announcement was made by Dan Thompson, CEO and Managing Director of Nissan Motors Australia, at the Melbourne International Motor Show, according to GTRblog.

During 2009, the GT-R will be tested in four FIA-GT1 class races in Europe. The NISMO car will be run as part of a partnership with Gigawave MotorSport, out of Essex, England. Drivers for this series will likely be Nismo's Michael Krumm and Gigawave's Darren Turner. Official word has not been given on the drivers for Nissan's entry in 2010. The car itself has a full carbon-fiber body which, when combined with some more modifications, should give the car a terrific power-to-weight ratio.

For the full '09 Super GT race season, four different GT500-spec GT-R racecars will be driven by different teams in the Japan's highest level auto racing circuit. According to a release from Nissan, Nismo drivers Satoshi Motoyama and Benoit Treluyer will race the Motul Autech GT-R, Tsugio Matsuda and Sebastien Philippe will run the Impul Calsonic GT-R for Team Impul, and Kondo Racing will show off their HIS Advan Kondo GT-R with João Paulo de Oliveira and Seiji Ara commanding the vehicle. Hasemi Motor Sport will also have an entry, with Ronnie Quintarelli and Hironobu Yasuda taking charge

Wow, that looks awesome! I want one! :D:

Seriously though, it would be pretty cool if a company started producing and selling replica GT cars to the general public. I've always thought race-spec bodywork makes most cars look awesome. Maybe put on some less obnoxious wings, but keep the flared fenders, fat tires, and extra venting.

^^ me too. i never really cared for the look of the GTR (yes i smoke crack) but tthis car is just to beautiful.

Last photo is bad ass! It's like a weapon.

Now there's an R35 that actually raised my pulse a little. Great pics.

that is a mean looking car!

sick.

No sir. I don't like it.

Can I put 16x in it ? :P

I like that car. People who hates GT-R just bcuz they're jealous ! :lol:

front spoiler reminds me of somethin...Veilside!

ya.. im about to be too...


:puke:
