Nissan to Compete in the 2015 Le Mans with the GT-R LM NISMO

Nissan has confirmed their plans to compete with Audi, Porsche and Toyota at Le Mans in 2015. Nissan calls it the GT-R LM Nismo and the company will field two race cars that will bear some resemblance to the road-going model.

Performance specifications of the GT-R LM Nismo and the driver lineup will be revealed in the coming months and that is why little is known about the car. According to Nissan Executive Vice President Andy Palmer "Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. There is no better place to demonstrate innovation than here in Europe's new hot-bed of digital marketing and, from next year, on track at Le Mans."

He went on to say, "We won't be turning up in a vehicle which is a basically another hybrid that looks like another Porsche, Audi or Toyota - they all look the same to me - our intention is to do something that is a little bit different."

More news will pour out soon and we will keep you updated on the latest.
