Nissan Nismo

The launch of Nismo in Europe is the latest chapter in a gripping story of maverick engineering and innovation that began almost 50 years ago. It’s a tale of passion for motorsport, pioneering spirit, after-hours vehicle development and a desire to succeed.

In 2013, Nissan’s commitment to global motorsport remains as strong as ever with the mighty GT-R GT3 race car competing in series all over the globe. However, there can be no better illustration of the pioneering Nismo spirit than the award-winning DeltaWing project. At the cutting edge of research into how racing can be more environmentally aware, it’s as ambitious a project as the Prince Skyline was almost 50 years ago.

The Nismo brand has expanded dramatically since its official launch in 1984 but the ethos remains the same. There is no better illustration of the brand’s passion than the Nismo Festival, staged by the company in Japan. Attended by tens of thousands of devoted fans, it brings together cars and personalities from the entire history of Nissan vmotorsport in a high-octane celebration of the Nismo brand.

It’s Nismo’s mission to offer drivers a unique combination of performance and technical innovation. This means high performance cars that are exciting to drive are no longer just something you have to watch racing on the sports channels. With Nismo everyone can experience the thrill of driving a Nismo-tuned car supported by race technology that’s been proven at the highest levels including Japan’s domestic SUPER GT, and the Le Mans series in Europe and USA.
