Nissan's Greatest Car... Was SOO Good It Failed

Why should someone care about Nissan…?
Is it their Z cars?
Is it the S-chassis drift legends of the ‘90s?
Or no… maybe it’s because of the GT-R… GODZILLA.
Well, what if Nissan did something even more special? And what if this car actually completed what the GT-R failed to do in its prime?
Well…it's a real car…and there is only one of them in existence.
This is the Nissan project that lived AND died at the hands of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. And it’s one of the greatest cars ever made.
This is the Nissan R390.

If I remember clearly, the 3.5 V8 used in the R390 was the basis for the existence of McLaren M838T 3.8 V8. An engine used in the MP4 12C and following models.

Not interpreting the 97 rule book in regards to "luggage compartment" was a big failure. IIRC they returned in 98,grabbed a podium with all4 cars finishing in the top 10. I never once thought it was a failure.

@SvenQ45 11 ай бұрын

Still a shame there´s only one of them. But for that there is the GT-R 50 now. There were so many rumors around the net. But it´s also understandable given the situation in the 90s. But it´s still beautiful.

Only one road car ever built and all it does is collect dust, for many years. At least one of the race cars got converted to a road car and it's nice to see it brought to life on the road by its owner.

@ShiningJudgment666 11 ай бұрын

Probably because it was road legal by Japanese standards. It's not uncommon for their cars to be top speed limited. In GT2, the road cars top out at 220km/h (not mph) if you didn't tune the transmission. Beasts otherwise but despite the power advantage, the race cars are too good because of tunable downforce and full blown race car physics that nothing else apart from race modified homologation specials get.
