Yup. Well, the road version anyway. No big wing and no turbos are the 2 main changes from the GT1 car.

 

Andy

Road going? Fuckin' awesome!!!

your having a laugh, he put twin turbo alfa motor in it? well thats what i heard, man he has to much money.....

 

He won fastest streetcar in south africa dident he ?#

 

at lemans this year wesaw a diaglo orange one as we were leaving, looked like it had left the track and got lost

Timmy, no idea how much an R390 would cost. As Warren says, its "only" 350bhp but it weighs nothing at all as you might imagine. I wouldn't mind one (or the Ultima). Only as my daily driver you understand, my Z would obviously be my weekend car, LOL.

I will probabally post again nearer the time but, Who's going to the Racing Car Show at the NEC (aka Autosport show) in January?

 

If you haven't been it's mad, about 4 halls full of all your heart desires - do not take a credit card. lol

 

Tim

Cost new was £600,000 or $1M US at the time!

Hooooowwwwwww much???

 

How long ago are we talking here then?

 

Are these a relic like most of our 300's or pretty recent?

 

Believe it or not, I love kitcars...

 

Actually considered an Ultima build - but I could never insure one with a decent sized engine..

Perhaps one day.. Or maybe a Cobra rep...

One day

The R390GT1 was built in 1997/98 as the roadgoing version of the Le Mans racer.It was detuned in road going form, but with a couple of tweaks (removing the restrictors), the Nissan 3.5 litre twin turbo V8 would produce upward of 600HP!

AHA BUT THE ROAD CAR CAME OUT NON TURBOCHARGED
