The Nissan GT-R GT1 is an impressive racing car that is part of the 2007-2016 generation of Nissan GT-R models. This generation is known for its advanced technology and strong performance. Designed by Mizuno Kazutoshi and his team, the vehicle was created as the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R. The GT1 version of the Nissan GT-R was specifically developed for use in international GT races and has gained recognition for its victories and performance on global race tracks. It is often seen as a vehicle that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in motorsport.
The Nissan GT-R GT1 features a 5.6-liter V8 engine that delivers an impressive 600 horsepower. This differs from the standard GT-R, which uses a 3.8-liter V6 engine. With this more powerful engine, the vehicle is perfectly suited for the demands of international motorsport. The car is equipped with a sequential 6-speed gearbox that allows for fast and precise gear changes. Outstanding aerodynamics, tuned suspension, and a nearly 50:50 weight distribution contribute to the excellent driving dynamics. At the same time, the vehicle offers carbon-ceramic brake discs that guarantee excellent braking performance.
The Nissan GT-R GT1 was highly successful in various international racing series. Notably, the FIA GT1 World Championships saw the car scoring multiple wins. Drivers like Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr played a significant role in these successes, pushing the car to peak performance. Through their driving talents and the technical characteristics of the Nissan GT-R GT1, drivers stood out with outstanding performances and consistent results, strengthening the vehicle's reputation in motorsport.
