Nissan GTR LM Nismo Confirmed for GT Academy Final!!!

[Il_Conte_Sky]

For me, the hype surrounding the GT-R LM Nismo being officially unveiled tonight is simply that we get to see the car. I am not expecting to see a trailer ending with 'Available now in Gran Turismo 6' or 'Coming to Gran Turismo 6 02 February'.

I cannot wait to try it in GT but the earliest I can realistically see it arriving is the WEC season opener at 6h Silverstone on 12 April.

I am happy to be proved wrong though...

Totally agree, I'm hyped for the car itself in the first place. Still hoping to drive it in GT one day

Remember guys this commercial is primarily about their road cars so don't expect too much time spent on the LMP1.

True. I am not expecting much more than seeing the Dad / driver perhaps climbing into the car and maybe a flyby to finish.

Hopefully we get official photos tomorrow too. @R1600Turbo I will hold you responsible if we don't!

"Indeed, the FIA World Endurance Championship challenger will be unveiled with a big-money TV ad broadcast during Super Bowl XLIX at the same time as a worldwide virtual launch."

Virtual launch hmm........

That "virtual launch" could be two things; either a GT6 appearance, or a launch on the Internet at the same time as the Super Bowl ad. Or both, who knows... Perhaps that is tied to that "Monday" picture someone posted one or two pages back?

Apart from speculation, that came out of nowhere.

If we are getting this car, GTP will explode!

And that is a curveball

Lol Superbowl reference... maybe

I bet they meant that it would be on the Internet when they said virtual.

The virtual word choice is the key.

From Nissan USA's Instagram

"Countdown begins & we’re pumped to share what we have prepared for you for the game. Stay tuned during the 2nd quarter! #withdad"

[Niku Driver HC]

This.

Guess that answers my question then, it'll be a virtual presentation done on some special website that Nissan will set up. Am I correct on this?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I agree. Nissan are probably poised to assault all social media. I got to wait until morning to see it though. Time for some zzz.

Enjoy the show.

Suppose I could tweet at Darren Cox asking about GT6 involvement... but I like the hype train too much!

Second quarter... here we go!

There's a sports forum. Discuss the football game there. Don't take this thread off-topic.

That tweet from the guy waiting to see the new Z car is going to be a bit disappointed.
