The LMP1 car the Nissan looks at its put it mildly, quite striking, but underneath if you don’t have to do a lot of the new GT-R against.

Ben Bowlby, the brain behind the racing car of Nissan, has opposite TopGear.com namely confirmed that the twin-turbo V6-hybrideblok with 1250 hp also under the hood of the new GT-R arrives. “It is an engine with direct injection and an integrated turbo. That and the other technology that we have in this block is processed, ensures that we have an interesting engine for a production car.”

Bowlby explains, fortunately, was not yet on why the V6 is so interesting for a car like the GT-R. “It’s very simple: if it’s an insane motor with a short lifespan, then we would have been out of the racing scene nothing can. The V6, however, makes just as much rpm’s (6500 rpm) in the LMP1-car, as in the production car. It is definitely a precursor of what you will in the Nissan GT-R will see.”

Let us for convenience just assume that Nissan V6 without too much adjustments in the GT-R hangs and also the hybrid system is used. We can then just imagine that there are people in Maranello, Woking and Zuffenhausen to walk around that slowly but surely a little hot start to get. My question to you: is that correct or should the GT-R is not in the shadow of a Ritz, P1 or 918 Spyder?
