We first saw the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 earlier this year, when the racing version of Godzilla made its track debut at the Dubai 24-hour endurance race.
But now we can show you something even better than some simple press photos: the actual race car in action in a promo video released today by JRM Racing. The car you see here is undergoing a shakedown ahead of a long racing season which will also see it compete in the Japanese Super GT series for the first time.
Most of us know the GT-R for its complicated AWD system, but this GT3 racer sends its power to the back. And speaking of power, the Nismo GT-R comes with a 3.8-liter V6 developing 523 hp, and mated to a semi-automatic paddle-shift gearbox. It sounds like a brutal machine and it’s sure to keep the Nissan fans happy in 2012.
