Has Nissan managed to build a sports car capable of beating the GR Supra with its new Z Nismo?
To find out, we took a 2024 Nissan Z Nismo to the official GRM test track, the Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park, to compare its lap time against the Toyota GR Supra's lap time.
For most race cars, a broken component ahead of qualifying usually means you won’t be setting a time for grid position.
That was not the case for the Nissan R90CK piloted by Mark Blundell ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1990, however.
Instead, the car’s wastegates malfunctioned and sealed themselves shut, resulting in the Nissan’s twin-turbo V8–normally good for around 800 horsepower–putting out more than 1000 horsepower.
In the end, Blundell managed to secure pole position with a lap time of 3:27.020.
