INNO64 NISSAN R89C SHAKEDOWN TEST AT PAUL RICARD 1988

The Nissan R89C represents a pivotal moment in Nissan’s endurance racing history, developed as part of its ambitious Group C prototype program. Built to compete in the 1989 World Sports Prototype Championship (WSPC) and the Le Mans 24 Hours, the R89C was designed with advanced aerodynamics, a lightweight carbon-composite chassis, and a potent VRH35Z 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine capable of producing over 750 horsepower. Nissan’s testing at Paul Ricard in 1988 marked the beginning of extensive development to fine-tune the car’s performance for the demanding endurance racing circuits. This test session was crucial in refining the aerodynamics, handling, and reliability needed to compete at the highest level of motorsport.

The expertly applied paintwork and accurate sponsor decals enhance its visual appeal, bringing this legendary test car to life.

A standout feature of this replica is its removable engine cover, which allows collectors to showcase the finely crafted engine bay, revealing the intricate details of the powerful twin-turbo V8.
