This Is In The,

'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!
