JRM GT23 : Road Legal GT3 Nissan GT-R

JRM has just released some information on their GT23, which is a "road legal", in the UK, R35 GT-R GT3 car. Read the press information below.

Only 23 Will Be Born
A unique track-focused, road-legal super car with every element engineered to deliver the purest driving experience. It seems impossible. But for just 23 drivers across the world, it will be a thrilling, full-blooded, all consuming reality. The JRM GT23 is an utterly unique supercar, born from unparalleled pedigree. At JRM Motorsport, we’ve built a global reputation for unrivalled technical excellence. Crafting cutting edge technical solutions for the automotive world.
The launch of the JRM GT23 has been timed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of JRM Motorsport Racing’s World Championship win in the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT1. Since its inception, JRM Motorsport Racing has claimed first place at the 2011 FIA GT1 World Champions and 6th place in the LMP1 class at Le Mans. More recently, we’ve focused on the GT3 endurance competition with the Nissan GTR GT3 and continue today to lead from the front in GT racing. So, we wondered, what if we could combine the ultimate in track performance with a car that is thrilling to drive on the road every day? A perfect balance.
Engineered to be the purest, most driver-centric car ever to be built for the track and road-ready
Beneath its flawless sleek exterior lies the thunderous heart of a front mid-engine 3.8-litre V6 Twin Turbo Charged. Evolved from the acclaimed Nissan GT-R GT3, the JRM GT23 bristles with ground-breaking technical specifications. Delivering one of the most advanced and effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car – light-weighted to achieve an impressive 500bhp per ton.
Overcoming the greatest challenges
"The objective of the JRM GT23 project was always could we road legalise a GT-R GT3 race car, based around the 2015 model year of the car by making it friendly enough to be driven on the road, but competent enough that you receive a genuine flavour of a race car when you take it to the track. The GT-R GT3 did not have flaws, but it did have limitations." - Elliot Dason-Barber, JRM Motorsport Technical Director
Any road car has limitations when you try and take it to the level of a race car, so we looked at it from the other direction. Starting with the JRM GT23 as a race car provides the driver with a real racing experience on track, while we then tamed the car to make it road legal. The result? A unique design with all of the attributes of a race car, that can also fill up at a regular filling station.
As a Japanese car, the GT3’s original design was heavily constrained by the road cars aesthetics. However the JRMGT23 design team wanted to create a stronger presence and greater aerodynamic performance by running a far more aggressive aerodynamic package that used significantly larger rear diffuser and adjustable rear wing.
A race cockpit with the soft touches
"Everything about the interior starts with the driver – we were always keen to provide a true race car environment but recognising the investment from the customer we had to approach the styling with a level of trim that is subtle whilst ensuring the driver has easy reach to all the controls and enjoying a level of sophistication of a race car and level of comfort of a road car"
