Road Car Specifications
The only machines that can enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the GT class are so-called GT cars, based on vehicles approved for use on public roads. Based on the Skyline GT-R, this vehicle was created as an official road car so NISMO could take part in the 1996 Le Mans; it was actually registered in the UK (although never marketed). |

Nissan stopped competing in the Le Mans after 1990, but NISMO took its place. Their Skyline-based GT car - NISMO GT-R LM - was entered for Le Mans in 1995 and 1996. In 1995, the No.22 car (H. Fukuyama/S. Kasuya) was 10th overall and 5th in its class. It was modified to 2WD (FR) drive, a better choice for heavy vehicles. And unlike the No.23 car, it was powered by a Group N specification engine. |
