Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 readied to compete in 2014 Super GT GT500 class

August 20,2013

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Motorsports International Co., Ltd. (NISMO) today unveiled the new-for-2014 rules’ compliant GT500-class spec Super GT machine, the “Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500.”

 

From 2014, cars in the GT500 class of Super GT will be developed based on the same new technical regulations (except for engine-related regulations) as the DTM (German Touring Car Championship), ensuring that the battle among Super GT machinery will be intensified.

 

NISMO, responsible for the motorsport activities of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has developed the Nissan GT-R to meet these new 2014 rules. Development of the car, which underwent its initial shakedown at the end of July, continued as it conducted a demonstration run at Round 5 of the Super GT series at Suzuka Circuit on August 17 and 18.
