Official FIA GT1 Class Nissan GTR

http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090409....led-with-600hp


The FIA GT1-spec Nissan R35 GT-R will use an engine rated at 600 hp, and it will have the torque to match. With 650 Nm, this car could be a front runner during the upcoming GT1 season.

The GT-R gets all that power courtesy of the 5.6-liter VK56DE V8 engine, which pushes along the 18x13 Rays forged wheels. A detuned version also appears on the Infiniti QX56. But tweak the engine, and pair it with a Ricardo six speed transmission and you get a rear-wheel drive Godzilla. Carbon is used in more than a few parts, including the triple plate clutch, and six-piston caliper brakes.

Nissan's first use of the R35 GT-R in the FIA GT1 class will be on 3 May 2009 at Silverstone. It will also be entered in three other races throughout the season and then enrolling for the full 2010 season.

Do they use the GTR chassis or its like the Rolex GT RX-8 car, which shares headlights only with the stock car.

I know it is RWD with a powerful V8.

Pretty sure its the same chassis and frame, just stripped and decked out with carbon fiber parts for weight savings. I wonder what they managed to cut it down to.
