The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 features twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter VR38DETT V6 producing 550+ horsepower (up to 600hp unrestricted) at 6,500 rpm and 637-650 Nm torque through six-speed sequential transmission and rear-wheel-drive conversion from production all-wheel-drive system, with engine mounted lower in chassis improving weight distribution at competitive GT3 weight specification. GT3 homologation includes Balance of Performance adjustability allowing power output regulation meeting FIA requirements, motorsport-specific engine calibration, racing ABS with multiple intervention settings, mechanical limited-slip differential, adjustable suspension geometry, carbon fiber body panels reducing weight, and comprehensive aerodynamic package with splitter, diffuser, and rear wing generating downforce.

GT-R Nismo GT3 establishes Nissan presence in global GT3 customer racing category based on R35 GT-R production platform, competing across championships including Blancpain GT Series, Bathurst 12 Hour, and various national series through NISMO customer racing program providing factory technical support and spares availability. The rear-wheel-drive conversion represents significant engineering effort adapting iconic ATTESA all-wheel-drive system to GT3 regulations requiring driven rear axle only, fundamentally altering handling characteristics from production GT-R while maintaining twin-turbo V6 architecture offering different performance profile versus naturally-aspirated competitors, with proven VR38 engine durability supporting cost-effective racing operations though limited factory development compared to European manufacturer GT3 programs affecting long-term competitiveness in evolving category.
