Here, or Twitter, or Facebook, or anywhere on the internet. Especially since you've already offered to post them yourself, which seemed a serious proposal.

I'm going to guess no. Even if he wanted to. This stuff is multimillion dollar secrets that cause these guys to keep their cars completely hidden until they pull it out of the paddock for the first time.


To put it another way: The Corvette plant here in Kentucky has been known to hire heavily armed security when working on new models. If he says more than he has, to anyone, he would be gone.

And noone in the industry will give him a job again.

If you have an issue then no ones asking you to believe him it's up to you to choose wether you do or don't.

Some of us have been around here long enough to know who's involved with who and who has contacts where to know if it will be reliable or not.
 
Of course it doesn't stop us from trolling them every once in a while, after all they do it to us with their teasing :p

Couldn't tell ya, I didn't do much testing last week so I wasn't out there when it ran. :(

Blast!

Guess we'll have to wait for confirmation if there are any lasers coming out of it.
 
@R1600Turbo can you confirm that the new car will deliberately fit entirely with the LMP1 regulations set down by the ACO and the FIA?

My prediction:

laser powered with 4 wheel steering and the driver is in a base jumping position :sly:

hsv
May as well spill the beans - it's powered by lasers! And the driver wears the car like a suit! A-oh wait.

Beat you to it :p
 
Did the Kelly boys from V8SC drop it ages ago that the whole point of Nissan financing them was to build the 5.0 V8 that would be a base for their Le Mans program?

Jeez drop it man. That is a fictional render. No photos (or at least public) pictures exist.

Looks more like a rebellion re-skin. I'd take it b/c of the GT logo in the back..

That seemed more like an edited Oreca Nissan with just a coupe canopy added to it.
 
I just don't want to see a commercial of this doing some 720 back-kick-side-front rotation on a half-pipe and call that innovation....
 
Someone please show this thread to the Nissan guys, they'll get a kick out of this totally nutty speculation.
