To commemorate its participation in the Le Mans 24 Hours, NISMO unveiled the ultimate road racer in 1996, the 400R. Based on the GT-R V-Spec and incorporating extensive experience and technology from the Le Mans 24 Hours, NISMO introduced the 400R, the ultimate road racer. The heart of the 400R lies in its unique "RB-X GT2" engine. Crafted by REINIK (now Nissan Koki), this engine enlarges the original RB26DETT to 2.8 liters and incorporates a reinforced N1 race-grade crankshaft, forged pistons, forged connecting rods, and high-angle camshafts. Coupled with a dedicated N1 turbocharger, it produces a staggering 400 horsepower, hence the "400" in the 400R's name. This figure was a groundbreaking achievement at a time when the upper limit for Japanese motorsport was 280 horsepower. To cope with this immense power, the 400R also underwent comprehensive chassis and aerodynamic enhancements. It featured reinforced Bilstein shock absorbers, a reinforced clutch and driveshaft, and NISMO's own Type-LM GT1 wheels. The 400R's exterior features an aerodynamic package designed specifically for the car, including more aggressive front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a large adjustable rear wing, and wide, racing-inspired fenders. This not only improved aerodynamics but also gave it a recognizable appearance. In terms of performance, the 400R's prowess was undeniable, with a top speed of 300 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of approximately 4.0 seconds, making it one of the most powerful Japanese domestically produced cars at the time.
