The Nissan LMP-1 GT-R was always intended to be a FWD car (with an aero package to match) using an energy recovery system to power the rear tires off the corners. It was a bold statement for trying something different in racing, but ultimately unsuccessful. Is that enough to justify a multi-million dollar investment? Only time will tell.
Given additional R&D, this car could close the speed differential to Audi, Porsche and Toyota, but there are no guarantees. I'll be watching with interest to see if Nissan makes the commitment to continue the LMP-1 effort into the future. |
