'I want one, how much?' department,
the car being the Nissan GT-R
LM Nismo which they hope will win this years Le Mans, popular
convention amongst auto engineers dictates that rear-wheel drive is better
than front-wheel drive for handling and weight distribution, Nissan’s new GT-R
LM Nismo may turn that notion on its head, it is the only front-wheel-drive
racer in the elite LM P1 prototype class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans World
Endurance Championship, it gives out a mega, for the race, 550 BHP, but
with the GT-R’s twin-turbo V6 engine up front to shift the weight there, behind the GT-R’s engine sits a kinetic energy recovery system (ERS), which
captures energy during braking and stores it for later use, moving the engine
forward makes the front brakes work harder, that creates more kinetic energy to
harvest and could boost the car’s chances of winning and this is
the impressive bit, increase the BHP to
a staggering 1,250! I wonder if we will ever see a road going
version? but going back to the original question, I guess if I have to ask 'how much?' I can not afford it!
