Nissan revealed earlier this year that they will be making a competitive entry into the FIA GT Championship for 2010 with a Nissan R35 GT-R built to GT1 specifications. In collaboration with NISMO and Gigawave Motorsports the car will be entered into four races in 2009 for testing and development. The first race it will be entered into is Silverstone, round 1 on May 3rd 2009.

Today specifications are out and the car was photographed testing at the Paul Ricard HTTT facility in the south of France during the media function and first official test day for the 2009 championship season.

As predicted the GT1 GT-R features a front mounted naturally aspirated V8 engine, a VK56DE with a displacement of 5,552cc. The VK develops 600hp and more than 650Nm of torque. It’s mated to a Ricardo 6 speed transaxle via a 5.5″ carbon triple plate clutch. All this drives only the rear wheels. Carbon brakes and pads all round are clamped by 6 piston front and 6 piston rear calipers. Putting the power to the ground are 18″ x 13″ Rays forged wheels all round.

More updates to come as the day progresses…

The one that raced in the Japanese circuits used to have more powerfull version of the RB26DETT found on the street car. I have to confess that all the amazement I had for this car is long gone :(, it now lives in the shadows of the R34 to me.

Well the R34 was awesome for sure, but if the rules (I do not know) were to have normally aspirated, then to crank out far more power with NA than the street turboed version is cool in my books.

They are not allowed to run 4 wheel drive - turbo in GT1 no?
