Nissan’s retro livery for Le Mans 2015

Nissan has confirmed that its third LMP1 entry for this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours race will be wearing an evocative colour scheme.

The #21 GT-R LM Nismo’s special blue, red and white livery is in honour of the Group C Nissan R90CK which competed at Le Mans in 1990.

With Mark Blundell behind the wheel, a qualifying lap time of 3:27.020 was good enough to take pole position. Unfortunately, his R90CK ended up being classified as a non-finisher.

Tsugio Matsuda, Lucas Ordonez and Mark Shulzhitskiy are going to be driving the #21 car in 2015.

Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
