This year Nissan will become the first Japanese automaker to be honored as a featured marque in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Held at the end of August, over 50 vintage racecars will be competing at the WeatherTech Raceway in California.
In 1936, a supercharged Datsun NL-75 stole the show in Tokyo with the first-ever win for this blossoming brand. This victory ignited a fire of passion and drive to be the best. Over the next 50 years, the company won more than 200 races in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) competition and more than 100 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) National Championships.
As one of the most prestigious track events in North America, it should go without saying that the new Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign will make an appearance during Monterey Car Week. It’s sophisticated style and eye-catching curves will surely be the center of attention among automobile enthusiasts.
