VEHICLE FEATURES & EQUIPMENT
A true icon of Japanese automotive history, this 1996 Nissan Nismo 400R represents one of the rarest and most desirable road-going GT-Rs ever produced. Offered here as chassis number 16 of just 44 examples built by Nismo, this extraordinary collector-grade vehicle has travelled a mere 13,354km from new.
Developed by Nismo to celebrate Nissan's dominance in motorsport, the 400R was far more than a modified GT-R. Each example was hand-built by Nismo and equipped with the legendary 2.8-litre twin-turbocharged RB-X GT2 engine, derived directly from the Le Mans programme. Producing approximately 400PS, the 400R delivered performance that was virtually unrivalled during its era and remains highly respected today.
Finished in its iconic GT-R silhouette, the 400R distinguished itself through unique aerodynamic enhancements, wider bodywork, bespoke suspension, upgraded braking systems, exclusive interior appointments and the hand-assembled RB-X GT2 powerplant. With production limited to only 44 units worldwide, opportunities to acquire a genuine Nismo 400R are exceptionally rare.
This example presents in outstanding condition throughout and benefits from exceptionally low mileage, further enhancing its appeal to collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of the most significant Japanese performance cars ever created.
