Νissan GT-R GT500 Race Car Unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon


Nissan staged the debut of the 2008 GT-R GT500 racing car at the Tokyo Auto Salon opening today. The race spec version of the new GT-R sport coupe will vie for the 2008 SUPER GT Championship series. Further details of the GT500 Nissan GT-R including technical specifications will be announced on 31 January.

Interestingly, the GT500 specification GT-R also premiers Nissan’s new racing livery, which will be featured across Nissan motorsports activities during the 2008 season. According to the Japanese carmaker, the new livery resulted from close collaboration between Nissan’s design team and NISMO, its motorsports affiliate company, and incorporates feedback from members of the “Club NISMO” fan club. -More pics after the jump
