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

[super_gt]

So Nissan will spend tens of millions to advertise that it's technologies do not work? Why more companies don't this a mystery huh?

They follow PD philosophy how to spend millions with zero effect.

With all due respect, super, how do you know that the car will fail so badly? It is not like you or anyone else has seen the car racing yet. You can't make those sort of assumptions without seeing the car in action first, I'm afraid. Just because the ZEOD\Deltawing projects had issues does not necessarily mean that this car will fail as well.

Let me give you a very good example; Audi. When they first started, they did not win the Le Mans race. Would that make them a failure as well? No, because Audi kept improving their car and soon, they won their first race. And the rest, as they say, is history. No car brand can win races right from the start. And calling it a failure without seeing the car in an actual race is not correct.

GT-R LMP1 probably front engine,four wheel drive,losing conception from the beginning.
I see only huge understeer,this year Nissan will bring next gen GT-R and this exercise is by this reason.

Thing is, you say "probably". The project has been kept in secret for a while now, and no one but Nissan really knows what the car is going to be. Until it is revealed, we only have rumors and guesses to go by, and there is no certainty as to how will Nissan undertake this project. Perhaps it's wiser to hold that thought until you see the car, then you can verify your opinion.

Asinine assumptions without knowing anything about, or having seen the car in action. Nothing more.

👍

You clearly have no idea about how the entire world of motorsports works then.

 

[GTPorsche]

At least he didn't call it an arcade VGT again.

 

[trustjab]

I think its funny he rags on Nissan so much, but has a Nissan GTR GT500 car as an avatar!

Irony at its finest.

 

[trustjab]

Ironically, that car is front engine and near lmp1 level performance. They took home the 2014 championship beating mid engine cars in the Honda NSX. The concept does work, and it will.

In GT 6 will be GT-R LMP1 SUPER ARCADE NISMO race car

 

[RACECAR]

Are you capable of posting anything other then these assumptions you keep making?

I don't think it's possible.

Good point @trustjab! I do love irony.

Also, a GT500 is nowhere near the performance of an LMP1-H.

A VGT car is specifically a Concept Car created for the game, this Nismo LMP car is a real thing that's happening, that will race in real life, not just this videogame.

People on this forum rag on PD every time they release a Vision GT model into the ongoing expansion of the game because they didn't add "X car they want now instead". And now people like you are ragging on them because they're adding a real LMP car.

C'mon, man you're just trolling now.

.............Just to bring things back on topic, I thought this old news article might be appropriate here:

I didnt say lmp-h. But Fuji qualifying times say they are close to lmp1 (non hybrid). 1:29's for gt500's last year. 1:26's for lmp1-h. But, gt500's are 1020kg vs 870kg for lmp1-h. That 150kg difference is massive.

Infiniti says they want to take their VGT to a real race one day..

It's still not a real racing machine, so it remains a concept.

super_gt secretely thinks about driving the GT-R LMP1, oops, I guess I shouldn't have said that, well it isn't much of a secret if he has a Xanavi GT500 GT-R as a profile picture :V

MOTUL GT-R

 

[PR3D4TOR]

I hope PD Dont forget about the GT500, I think we may get the GTR LMP1 but I still want the new GTR GT500

 

[MCNAGTROC]

 

[peforator]

Where's this at?

 

[RACECAR]

No idea who got that picture, but he might get sniped for sneaking that out. Doesn't appear to be the front-engined car as first mentioned.

Where's this at?

Circuit Of The Americas.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Pretty much FR confirmed...

 

[RACECAR]

Looking at it, very difficult to tell. That pic sure makes it look that way but at the same time, that fence doesn't help at all in having a clear look at it.

 

[fortbo]

F confirmed, you don't know the drivetrain yet.
