INNO64 Nissan R89C LE MANS 1989 No23
The Nissan R89C was a bold step into the world of Group C endurance racing, representing Nissan’s ambition to challenge the dominance of European manufacturers at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Developed in collaboration with Lola Cars, the R89C featured a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and a powerful VRH35 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, capable of producing over 800 horsepower. With its sleek aerodynamic design and cutting-edge engineering, the R89C was Nissan’s answer to the likes of Porsche and Jaguar on the world stage.
At the 1989 Le Mans, car #23 was piloted by a trio of legendary Japanese drivers—Masahiro Hasemi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, and Toshio Suzuki. Though the race proved challenging, the R89C marked a significant milestone in Nissan’s motorsport journey and laid the groundwork for future successes in endurance racing.
Now, Inno Models pays tribute to this iconic machine with a meticulously crafted 1/64 scale diecast replica, capturing the spirit and detail of the Le Mans contender with stunning accuracy.
This miniature marvel showcases the R89C’s low-slung, aerodynamic bodywork, complete with its distinctive long tail, vented side panels, and race-spec livery. The #23 car’s graphics and sponsor decals are faithfully reproduced, reflecting the exact look of the vehicle as it appeared on the grid at Le Mans 1989. The high-quality paint finish and crisp lines make this model a standout in any motorsport collection.
Through the clear windows, collectors can admire a finely replicated cockpit featuring racing seats, dashboard instrumentation, and roll cage elements. Constructed from durable diecast metal, the model includes rubber tires with realistic tread patterns and precision-molded wheels. While it features no opening parts, its fixed design ensures every detail remains sharp and true to scale.
Presented in a sleek acrylic display case, this replica is protected and ready for display—ideal for collectors, racing fans, and enthusiasts of Nissan’s motorsport legacy.
