The Nissan R89C was a Group C sports prototype that Lola Cars developed for Nissan, replacing the March-built prototypes Nissan had used before as part of Nissan's increased involvement in the project. It had a Kevlar and carbon-fibre monocoque chassis that Lola named T89/10, with Nissan's new twin-turbo 3.5 liter VRH35 V8 DOHC engine mounted as a stressed member for rigidity and producing up to 950 bhp. Lola built four chassis, two entered in the 1989 World Sportscar Championship by Nissan Motorsport Europe and two in the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship by Nissan Motorsport Japan. Nissan struggled with reliability and pace, scoring points in only three WSC races yet finishing fifth in the team standings and third in Japan, and all three cars at Le Mans failed to finish. In 1990 it ran the first WSC race before the R90CK and R90CP replaced it.
