History and Applications:

The Nissan R91CP is a Group C racing prototype developed by Nissan Performance Technology in the late 1980s and early 1990s, specifically to compete in the IMSA GTP series and the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. The car’s greatest triumph was its victory at the famous Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race in 1992, proudly sporting national colors and sponsorships from Calsonic and Nissan Performance Technology.
The car was powered by a 3.5-liter VRH35Z twin-turbo V8 engine, generating around 800 HP. The presented model accurately represents the victorious version of the car, driven by Masahiro Hasemi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, and Toshio Suzuki during the late Group C era (years: 1991-1992, contemporaneous with modern endurance racing).
