This street-legal Nismo GT-R LM is one rare bird: When Nismo decided to compete in the GT category of the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, the rules for the class stipulated that at least one road-worthy example must be built of a given model, thus a single, ultra-wide bodied Nismo GT-R LM was built and registered in the United Kingdom. Perhaps just as astounding, while the production Skyline GT-R had long featured all-wheel drive, this solo homologation special feature rear-wheel drive only, just like the Le Mans competition cars.

  • This street-legal Nismo GT-R LM is one rare bird: When Nismo decided to compete in the GT category of the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, the rules for the class stipulated that at least one road-worthy example must be built of a given model, thus a single, ultra-wide bodied Nismo GT-R LM was built and registered in the United Kingdom. Perhaps just as astounding, while the production Skyline GT-R had long featured all-wheel drive, this solo homologation special feature rear-wheel drive only, just like the Le Mans competition cars. Apart from its outlandishly-styled exterior and reconfigured drive system, this road-going Nismo GT-R LM is surprisingly docile in just about every other area. The RB26DETT-designed engine produced 305 PS, on par with the standard production car unit; even the interior remained nearly unchanged. But the bodywork was a different story: All four fenders were widened by 50 mm to accommodate wider tires for improved grip, and hood vents and a wide-mouth front clip allowed for more efficient removal of hot air from the engine compartment. As for the car's competition brethren, the GT-R entered into the GT class of the 1995 and 1996 editions of the French endurance classic encountered mixed results, the 450-PS maiden effort finishing a respectable 5th in class, with the vastly more potent 630-PS car landing 10th in class the following year.
