2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 sales begin

Privateer racers can now place their orders for the latest GT-R Nismo GT3, but deliveries aren’t due to begin until January 2019. The 2018 model, which is already being run by official partner teams in various championships, boasts a number of improvements compared to the previous version.

For instance, the 3,799 cc engine has gained dry-sump lubrication and it’s mounted slightly lower and further back. Both the car’s centre of gravity and weight distribution benefit as a result.

An output of more than 542 bhp (405 kW / 550 PS) gets sent to the rear wheels only via a redesigned six-speed sequential transmission. Other enhancements include a revised double-wishbone suspension set-up and stronger brakes.

The starting price for a 2018 GT-R Nismo GT3 is ¥60,000,000 excluding taxes. At current exchange rates, that’s approximately £410,500 or €469,800.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. 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.
