Say hello to Nissan GT-R GT500 in new works livery
Nissan has finally taken the wraps off its much-awaited Nissan GT-R racing car that’s complete with quality Nissan parts. This Nisan model intends to compete for the SUPER GT Series. It was during the Tokyo Auto Salon with NAPAC last January 11-13, 2008 that the Nissan GT-R racing car made its public debut. It will also be seen showcasing itself next on the Osaka Auto Messe 2008 which willhappen on February 9-11, 2008. The Japanese automaker sure knows the right avenues to present its racing car as these two auto shows are the country’s largest annual custom car shows.
The new works livery will be featured across the motorsports activities of the Japanese automaker during the 2008 season and this will be unveiled on the race car. Nissan wants to be a part of the SUPER GT Championship which is considered as one of the most demanding GT race series in the world. But since Nissan has built a new vehicle on the same multi-performance super car concept of the Nissan GT-R road car, Nissan believes that it might have a chance at the said championship.
The new livery is actually a result of the partnership between the design team of the Japanese automaker and NISMO, the motorsport affiliate of Nissan. Nissan also incorporated some of the feedbacks it got from the “Club NISMO” fan club.
the new Nissan GT-R racing car has the signature wide “brush stroke” design motif which is also the one used in the Nissan Fairlady Z race car. This is the design motif used because Nissan believes that the racing fans of Nissan worldwide could immediately associate with the design. The livery design swipes forward from the rear in bold red and black. The bold red color signifies the vehicle’s passion for racing. On the other hand, the black signifies the high-performance of the new Nissan GT-R racing car.
