Amid all the talk on Nissan’s Porsche-baiting GT-R hitting pavements this year, Nissan’s racing arm NISMO quietly revealed the racetrack model. It’s the GT-R NISMO’s readying to compete in the racing series formerly known as JGTC; that is, Japan’s “Super GT Championship” series, in the top GT500 class. And by reveal, we mean there’s nary a stitch of spec information forthcoming. For that, they say, we’ll have to wait until February 2008. The GT-R replaces the Fairlady Z (350Z) in competition, which had replaced the Skyline GTR. We’re assuming the racing GT-R will have the maximum allowable 500 horsepower, though rumors of an even more sprightly street GT-R continue to fly.
