Enter the Rumormill: Nissan GT-R may compete in Grand Am series
The Nissan GT-R GT500 race car from Japan’s Super GT series.
A brief blurb over at GT Channel revealed a rumor we hope would come true. According to the site’s sources, Nissan may be considering campaigning a GT-R in the U.S.-based Grand Am series. If it were to come to fruition, we’d expect the GT-R to be mixing it up in the GT Class with Porsche GT3s, BMW M3s, Corvettes and Ferraris. With a slightly detuned engine (power is limited to 450 hp) and a serious diet, we think a GT-R campaign could up the ante on what is arguable one of the most exciting motorsports events around.
