FIA GT: Nissan R35 GT-R GT1
Publicado: 10 Abr 2009 16:48
Pues si en el campeonato de la FIA Gt va a correr el Nissan GTR bajo el reglamento que será valido apartir del 2010, se supone que aparte del campeonato FIA GT tambien participara en las 24H de Le Mans(Para el 2010), para el 2009 correra solo 4 carreras del FIA GT pero en el 2010 lo hará en la temporada completa.
Con un ensanchamiento lateral bastante prominente, unos paragolpes más de lo mismo y un alerón trasero literalmente enorme, el GT-R GT1 conserva su imagen como tal y tiene un aspecto que concuerda con su V8 de 5.6 litros y 600 caballos.
El R35 GT hará su debut el 3 de Mayo en el circuito británico de Silverstone, y veremos de una vez por todas qué tal se le dan a los nipones las competiciones ampliamente dominadas por europeos y estadounidenses.
After announcing its intention to run in the FIA Championship with a GT-R, Nissan has finally released a host of technical details and race-dates for its GT1-spec R35. The GT-R will make its debut at Silverstone on May 3rd and will campaign in three more races in 2009 before its all-out assault on the field in 2010.
The GT1 GT-R was testing at the Paul Ricard circuit in France earlier this week, and with the help of NISMO and Gigawave Motorsports, the racer is well on its way. As expected, Nissan has dropped the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 in favor of a naturally aspirated VK56DE 5.6-liter V8 engine putting out 600 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. A Ricardo six-speed transmission and a 5.5-inch carbon triple plate clutch is fitted to channel power to the rear wheels. Six-piston calipers, carbon ceramic discs and 18x13-inch RAYS forged wheels are fitted at all four corners.
A new site has been launched to follow the team's progress, and the first video from GTRLive.tv can be viewed after the jump.
