R33 GT-R LM: The Rarest and Most Precious Nissan GT-R Ever"

Discover the legendary R33 GT-R LM, the rarest Nissan GT-R in the world. Built to dominate the GT1 racing class, this one-off masterpiece holds a special place in Nissan’s history. After being banned from Group A for winning too much, Nissan created the 600-horsepower R33 GT-R LM to compete at Le Mans. To meet homologation requirements, Nissan produced a single, road-legal version of this iconic car, making it the most exclusive GT-R ever.

Kept in the Zama Heritage Garage, the R33 GT-R LM is considered so valuable that even Nissan’s president isn’t allowed to drive it. Learn more about this rare Nissan GT-R, a car so powerful and unique that it remains one of the most coveted GT-Rs in the world today.

With Australia, you're talking about the 'Bathurst 1000', (V8 Supercars). Nissan won 2 consecutive wins at Bathurst, in both '91 & '92 with the 'Skyline'. It was the public who 'kicked up' such a stink, it was the only time the winners were Boo'ed on the podium! The only time in history as the public did not want a 'downgrade' from the beloved V8's. Nobody was 'scared' of Nissan. They just weren't wanted, or any other 'similar' cars for that matter!!

Getting kicked out of group a for winning to many races is crazy

Best looking GTR ever, in my humble opinion.

For those wondering what happened next

Homologation sorted, two R33 LM race cars invaded France in 1995 to try and win Le Mans. But against goliaths like the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40, the GT-R struggled.



The number 22 car qualified 34th and finished the race in tenth overall and fifth in class, behind four McLarens. The slightly faster number 23 car retired with gearbox damage after 157 laps.

The saddest thing is a race car that will never see a track 😢

Imagine if Nissan...all of a sudden said this Week are bringing back all the R32s, R33s, R34s back into how much money Nissan would make.They would have to start making new Factories to keep up with the demand.

That car single handedly grabbed my imagination from the opening cinematics of Gran Turismo, it being unloaded off the trailer and taking the track was mesmerizing. I knew nothing of Skylines or this variant and it's prominence as a kid, I just knew I loved everything about it looks wise. It's absolutely beautiful and now I know the reason for it's inception.

I’ve always said it… the R33 is under appreciated and in my personal opinion it is actually the best of the Skyline family. It’s my favorite

[Rawdil]

Getting kicked out for winning - sounds like a local buffet when you overeat or the casino when you keep winning.

[FieldingShredder]

That’s me driving the white R33 in the first clip at ebisu!!!

[QBPhantom]

As the president of Nissan I can confirm... I'm not allowed to drive the car.

[mobilkuestilo]

That's why the Australian called the R32 GTR godzilla because its destroyed the group of winning to much.

[RHFactor]

Nissan is no joke. They are just jealous. Nissan is the G.O.A.T.

[Batanuhtanah]

Biggest shame is never getting to see it drive.

[XloMotion]

I got a friend who is the biggest Supra dck rider fanboy and I keep sending him anything Godzilla history video just to remind him who's the boss of the 90's

[natkinguz]

The Nissan Skyline was my favorite car in to drive in Grand Turismo PS2/3

[johndouglassalgado]

Reminds me when the Audi Quattro entered rally racing many years ago. Shit that was a kickass car

[paul]

Beautiful, powerful car, i never heard of that version.

[jamesa]

Imagine if they produced atleast 100 or more production r390's. I'd love to see and hear it in person

[andywillis]

the pres maybe not, but there is a mechanic there who takes care of it and takes it out every now and again, and that dude is lucky asf
