It’s been four years since the GT-R last competed in the JGTC when it won the championship in 2003. Now Nissan has been spied testing the track version of the GT-R and it looks like Batman has a new car. In all black livery, the body is completely carbon fibre, the GT-R surely fits the part as a Batmobile but doesnt need a jet engine to get it going fast. With a new 4.5 Liter V8 engine the GT-R will have 500HP and 510NM of torque. That’s plenty fast for a normally aspirated engine and without turbo lag too! Makes you wonder what they’ll use for the GT-R V-Spec and V-Spec II? Lets hope that Nissan has plans of taking on Le Mans with this car as well, as we predict it will be very competetive.
