GT-R LM NISMO Featured on Jay Leno’s Garage

 
Nissan is gearing up for the infamous 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans, scheduled to take place this weekend at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France. In preparation for this extremely competitive and challenging race, the brand put a great deal of time into the redesign of the new GT-R LM NISMO that was built specifically for this race.  Recently, Jay Leno featured this redesigned custom car on his YouTube series “Jay Leno’s Garage” along with the model’s chief engineer Zack Eakin.

In the video, we hear Eakin and Leno discussing what makes this model unique, most specifically the fact that this was designed as a Front Wheel Drive model which is very different from the typical rear Wheel or All Wheel Drive seen on most race cars in that category. Eakin then takes Leno on a tour of the model and explains the modifications that the team made when designing and building this model in order to ensure that it truly stood out against the competition.

Later in the video we see Nissan GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough take this unique model out for a drive on a racetrack in Bowling Green, Kentucky as he tests out this model in preparation for the big race. Jann first explains what it feels like to be positioned inside this model and explains a bit more about how the GT-R LM NISMO works. He then heads out onto the track and offers viewers a look at the impressive power and handling that this model has to offer.

See the full video above to learn more about the GT-R LM NISMO and look out for Jann and this model at Le Mans this weekend!
