What it is Filled
The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo is a front-engined, front-wheel-drive LMP1 endurance-racing prototype developed by Nissan around a twin-turbocharged V6 and an intended hybrid system, which competed at the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In scope
- Design identity and boundaries separating the LM prototype from other Nissan GT-R vehicles
- Configuration-specific propulsion, energy recovery and control capabilities
- Relationships between front-axle loading, tyres, aerodynamic balance and handling
- Evidence connecting development specifications to tested or raced configurations
- Model-specific inspection, servicing and return-to-operation requirements
Out of scope
- Nissan GT-R Nismo road cars and their production specifications
- Other Nissan racing designs carrying GT-R or Nismo branding
- Ownership, location and complete maintenance histories of individual chassis
- The Nissan motorsport organisation and programme management
- Complete race-event results, driver biographies and championship rules
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo, distinguish intended specifications from demonstrated configurations, and judge what evidence permits inspection, restoration or operation.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Verify the full GT-R LM Nismo designation and prototype provenance; a GT-R badge or Nismo livery alone does not establish identity.
- Check for the front-mounted engine and combustion-engine drive to the front axle, an arrangement described by the designer for this LMP1 project. [ACO design interview](https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/24-hours-of-le-mans-2015-anticipating-the-nissan-gt-r-lm-nismo-20194)
- Compare the vehicle with the published asymmetric wheel package: 18-inch front rims and 16-inch rear rims, with wider front tyres. [Technical specification](https://nissanlmp1.com/tech-spec/)
- Require configuration evidence before treating advertised hybrid capability as installed and operational equipment.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Present a show car, replica or test chassis as a race-used example without evidence.
- Operate a surviving car on track without the owner's authority and proper safety preparation.
- Misrepresent its race history to inflate value.
- Blame named drivers or engineers for failures without evidence.
Only with a human decision
- Selling, restoring or modifying a surviving chassis.
- Attributing a specific race history to a particular chassis.
May
- Identify the car and its chassis from documented features and race records.
- Distinguish its intended specification from what it actually raced with.
- Report race entries and results from official sources.
Moral aspects Filled
- Provenance claims for race cars carry large sums and need honest evidence.
- Public failure of a project affects the reputations of the people involved.
Who is affected
- Owners and buyers
- Drivers and team staff
- Spectators at demonstrations
Owners Filled
Steward
The owner of each chassis; the race organisers hold official entry and results records.
