Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

It uses the same 4.5L V8 as the Super GT GT500 car.
I'm rather interested, it could turn out to be quite quick.

It looks alright actually. Knowing Nissan, this is probably the car they used to lap the Ring in but whatever, its a ballsy car and more power to them. I am terribly interested in how well this car fares against the German and Italian rivals.

We shouldn't consider how this car will perform until they run the car in the championship, and not only as a non championship entry.
otherwise they could play with rules and restrictions to their favor.
not saying that because it's Nissan, they all play like this, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin.

Pity Its non-championship

if it has success maybe nissan builds a road-going 4.5l v8 rear wheel drive version so it can be homologated !! bring on those special homologation models back

Do they actually have to build some V8-engined GT-Rs to homologate it?

only if they intend the car to become a championship entry.Originally Posted by Ferrer
otherwise, considering the new rules, they could use another engine from Nissan already used in other cars in at least 5/6.00 units a year, or something similar.

so it seems they are already running by the new rules, obviously.
looking forward for more hybrids from other automakers in the future.

That engine rule is the same as Super GT already, which is probably the reason why Nissan is doing this...
