58617 Tamiya – 1/10 Nissan GT-R LM Nismo Launch Version (F103GT)

Tamiya has released prototype version of the FF layout Nissan GT-R. The sports prototype
racing car is built by the Nissan Motor Company and their motorsports division
Nismo. For now you can check out the official press release information below.

Designed for the Le Mans Prototype 1 Hybrid (LMP1-H) regulations of the
FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT-R LM is
unique amongst Le Mans Prototypes because it utilizes a front mid-engine layout
for its internal combustion engine as opposed to the rear mid-engine layout
used by nearly all other competitors in the category. It is Nissan&39;s first prototype
since the R391 competed in 1999. The car is branded after the Nissan GT-R road
car and shares similar engine and drivetrain configurations, but is not related
to the sports car. The GT-R LM Nismo program was announced on May 23, 2014.
The Tamiya RC rendition faithfully captures all of the real subject nuances
and sleek body form.
