Forget about the forthcoming Nissan GT-R V-Spec; if you're searching for the most extreme version of the 'Godzilla' look no further than to the Le Mans Edition that marks its return on the GT-R R35. Japan's Best Car magazine has learned from inside sources that along with the development of a Le Mans competition car, Nissan is also working on a street-legal version of the GT-R which will be named LM Edition and will be built in an extremely limited number of units.
This won't be the first time that the GT-R will gain an LM edition as in the late-1990's Nissan had marketed a limited production Skyline GT-R R33 referred to as "LM Limited" which was only available in a Competition Blue finish. The vehicle was built to honor the Skyline's that took part in the 24-hours of Le Mans.
Even though official information is still scarce, sources state that the GT-R LM Edition will be powered by a modified version of the standard car's 480HP 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing a whopping 600HP. If the base-model is considered to be one of the fastest cars around, we can only imagine what the LM Edition will be like.
Understandably, the GT-R LM Edition will feature an array of upgrades including larger brakes, lighter alloy wheels, suspension and transmission tweaks as well as aerodynamic improvements through the use of a new bodykit.

noice
one of the coolest cars on the planet!
Yay for LC.
You know what this Nissan has to say to every other car on the planet that it meets?
A phrase that is sure to send a quiver of fear through the heart of even the owners of multimillion dollar supercar like Veyrons and Enzos that pull up next to this bad boy at a light at the start of a nice section of twisty backroad?
"Title for title?"
To the owners of those cars I just want to say, if someone should challenge you in such a way, don't let your ego and pride overcome your common sense, or you just might end up walking home. Don't do it boys, don't even think about it, especially in the rain or snow. :-)
Godzilla is being vindicated!!
Godzilla it's back at the Mulsanne !
Wow! With all the problems the car (transmission) has with stock power levels, I can only imagine how the warrenty dept. is handling THIS news.
