According to company representatives, Nissan's performance brand and official motorsport team is about to get its hands on a number of vehicles, including the GT-R sportscar.

No further details have been revealed yet, but word has it we might see a race-ready Nissan GT-R leaving Nismo's facility, and probably a 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans version as well.

"It would be unthinkable for us to develop a range of Nismo road cars without including the GT-R," said Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn. "The standard road car is a global supercar and the GT-R’s performance on track reflects the passion and talents of the Nismo team. The GT-R Nismo will be special and I can’t wait to drive it."

Nissan recently decided to move in-house tuner Nismo to new headquarters in Yokohama as the small 1984-founded company can now be recognized as a brand.
