Nissan GT-R LM Nismo 2015 Le Mans Prototype revealed

The Nissan GT-R LM NISMO is the car competing starting from 2015 in LM P1, the premier class of world sports car racing. Unlike other LM P1 cars, the Nissan GT-R's V6 3-litre twin turbo petrol engine sits in the front of the front-wheel-drive car, while the hybrid power is harvested from the front driveline to augment acceleration.
The Nissan GT-R LM NISMO is a front-engined, front-wheel-drive car. The internal combustion engine drives the front wheels and the energy recovery system harvests energy from the front wheels. Plus, the front tyres on the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO are bigger than the rear tyres - 14 inch wide front vs. 9 inch rear. This is due to the way that mass is distributed in the car.
