Nissan has something to announce on Tuesday. Radio Le Mans will cover it live (altough they are sponsored by them... why would they do this if it was only about some Nismo performance models?).

Secrectly hoping LMP1 or at least GTE, but probably going to be rebadged DeltaWing or some one make Juke Box series :lol:

Nissan has pulled out of the DeltaWing project, but pulling out does not guarantee an avoided pregnancy.

I'm OPENLY hoping LMP1 :D. But I expect a GTE announcment tbh.

Nice to see Quintarelli and Matsuda in the preview.

Gotta love those Japanese manufacturers. When one leaves a series the other one leaves too. When one enters a series you can just wait till the other announces he will enter too.

I hope it's GTE, unless Nissan will use rebadged Renault F1 engines with KERS, they really don't need to be in LMP1. Nissan/Renault aren't particularly into spending big bucks like Audi and Toyota and they've seen Peugeot do it and how they couldn't sustain it. LMP1 doesn't seem like Ghosn's cup of tea, and Nismo getting back into big time Endurance GT with a GTR or even a Z makes more sense.


Really, I'd like to see them announce GTE, GT3, and GT4 cars, and partnerships with more teams. And a new S-chassis. But that's just my fantasy.

What else could they do that they obviously want the enormously grand attention for?

Damn Japs.

A RWD GT-86 competitor would be big news.

The announcement is also about motorsports. Some motorsports at least.

Certainly looks like a GT car, but at the same time it looks too extreme for one, just look at those wheel archs, wouldn't be a Daytona prototype would it?

Yea, I'm now thinking DTM as well, but aren't they changing the regulations in 2014 :o

Post subject:  Re: GT & Sportscar Random Discussion
So: Garage 56 in 2014, zero emission

Also mentioned WEC right after Super GT when he listed the series where Nissan competes THIS season, but that could just mean the LMP2 Powered by Nissan.
