The Nissan GT-R GT1 is an impressive racing car that is part of the 2007-2016 generation of Nissan GT-R models. This generation is known for its advanced technology and strong performance. Designed by Mizuno Kazutoshi and his team, the vehicle was created as the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R. The GT1 version of the Nissan GT-R was specifically developed for use in international GT races and has gained recognition for its victories and performance on global race tracks. It is often seen as a vehicle that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in motorsport.
The Nissan GT-R GT1 features a 5.6-liter V8 engine that delivers an impressive 600 horsepower. This differs from the standard GT-R, which uses a 3.8-liter V6 engine. With this more powerful engine, the vehicle is perfectly suited for the demands of international motorsport. The car is equipped with a sequential 6-speed gearbox that allows for fast and precise gear changes. Outstanding aerodynamics, tuned suspension, and a nearly 50:50 weight distribution contribute to the excellent driving dynamics. At the same time, the vehicle offers carbon-ceramic brake discs that guarantee excellent braking performance.
The Nissan GT-R GT1 was highly successful in various international racing series. Notably, the FIA GT1 World Championships saw the car scoring multiple wins. Drivers like Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr played a significant role in these successes, pushing the car to peak performance. Through their driving talents and the technical characteristics of the Nissan GT-R GT1, drivers stood out with outstanding performances and consistent results, strengthening the vehicle's reputation in motorsport.

The painted side mirrors and the detailed interior visible through the clear windows also contribute to the authenticity of this model.
