Nissan R90C

Automobiles

The Nissan R90C was a platform used for Group C racing cars that Nissan Motors built in 1990 to compete in the World Sportscar Championship in Europe and the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. Cars based on it competed until 1993, when Nissan chose to withdraw from sports car racing, and it did not return until 1997. It won three JSPC championships and several significant endurance races. Mechanically it shared much with the R89C, including most of the chassis construction and mechanical layout, and it kept the 3.5 litre twin-turbo Nissan VRH35Z V8 that debuted in the R89C. The cars were nearly all new constructions, and Lola Cars International called them the T90/10, succeeding the T89/10. Because Nissan felt the car was a compromise, it developed two versions: Nissan Motorsports Europe built the R90CK in its shops as an evolution of the R89C design, while the R90CP was built at Nismo.
