Not your diplomat's sports car

In a previous Seasonal Event Time Trial titled the 690HP Super Speedway Indianapolis Time Trial that was started since late June and ended since early July 2011, you'll notice that the rules allow production cars up to 690HP of power and 1200kg in weight. Out of the cars with 690HP and 1200kg, there was one kind of car topped the fastest lap time of 0:47.107 and in the following Seasonal Event Time Trial called 394HP Special Stage Route 5 Time Trial (limited to production cars with tuning allowed up to 394HP and 1200kg), which runs from July 27 to August 10, there was one car that has the fastest lap time of 1:27.754. This car known as the Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car was the ultimate racing machine that conquers any kind of time trials that have that kind of regulation.

The Samurai Stig

The Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car is the street legal version of the Nissan R390 GT1, a race car built for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 and 1998. Sadly, only two R390 GT1 Road Cars were built and the first one is stored in Nissan's Zama factory in Kanagawa prefecture. There wasn't any customer of this million dollar car. The Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car is capable of reaching from 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds and the top speed is 350km/h. Here in Gran Turismo 5, finding it on the Used Car Dealer is very tough and it takes about a 10% probability to obtain this rare machine. A maxed out R390 GT1 Road Car can go as much as 722hp/5800rpm of power but when it comes to Seasonal Event Time Trial regulations, players can tone it down a little to meet its expectations. Such aerodynamics and the available spoilers at the GT Auto is much possible to attain the true ferocity of the Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car. Once driven in time trials, forever smitten in time trials.
