Nissan's Worst Enemy (is Nissan)

[@takumifujiwara13954]

It's a damn shame Nissan today is a shell of its former glorious self, and is now once again on the verge of bankruptcy.

[@Mongrel214]

One word: CVT.

[@Danger_mouse]

Yep, Renault have milked all they can out of the once proud company and now they're ready to discard the husk. Not cool 😔

[@pudermcgavin4462]

I blame the cvt

[@towermoss]

Same with Mitsubishi.

[@merihkaraman7176]

It's like someone close to you with a mustache shaving it off.

[@redradhako]

This is Superman/Clark Kent shit

[@hayo919]

Do we really know it is him in this clip? Or even worse did he use some else to film all the older clips and this is the first time we actually get to see him

[@Re-InCarNation]

Nissan: It was always Nissan Nissan: Always has been.

[@chonglers1513]

🤯

[@theracefan01]

Such a shame that Nissan dropped the R390. I think the car had potenzial - even as a GTP. Great video!

[@automobilistic]

Agreed - I think the R390 should have achieved more than it did... sad really. Glad you enjoyed :)

[@jamiecloughgaming25387]

I agree if the R390 was developed into 1999 there was a chance they've might have won the race.

[@alexander1485]

fun fact: ive seen the R390 GT1 road car, shame i never saw its engine or doors open.

[@joseaugusto-vd9vg]

I have a French magazine and at the time of the r390gt they teste the road version of This car

[@EstebanDonJuanCarlos]

Legend has it that 2 road going versions, one that Nissan keeps on display at their museum and the other was (supposedly) sold to a very wealthy customer from the UK. It's said that there's 1 photo of the #2 car in the garage of what looks like a dutch-style half timber home.

[@larubric]

Admirable work as always, Auto! Channel membership let me get my hands on this the moment it went live and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@automobilistic]

glad you enjoyed, mr rubric!

[@rastas_4221]

I absolutely hate modern Nissan. They are just Renaults.

[@Seiyomedia]

Ian Callum smashed the design. The R390 is a very handsome thing

[@AcidRP]

Can't wait to see a video on the Deltawing

[@alexander1485]

i saw the last race of it at Daytona

[@enigmaticcruz2483]

The VRH35 in the R390 would live on as its derivatives powered the McLaren MP4-12C and future V8 powered McLarens.

[@thfleshmechanic7345]

Are those really derived from the R390 engine ? 😮

[@2fast4speed87]

I am absolutely loving these style of videos! Please keep it up! Your hard work does not go unnoticed👍!

[@ViniciusNipote]

Cheers from Brazil mate, been loving your content and just wanted to let you know that

[@humphrey4976]

The group c cars are some of the most beautiful ever made. Was lucky enough to see them at Goodwood revival one year.

[@Schnooblers]

as a TWR fanboy i loved this video, well done mate any chance there's more TWR stuff in the pipeline? the TWR rabbit hole runs very deep

[@BrixSG]

How deep?

[@julianturberfield7101]

It sucks, they also dropped out of IMSA with a strong car just before the Hybrid regs. The final remaining car in the last season wasn't doing much because their pay driver was WAY behind the curve, but the car was rapid in cooler conditions.

[@MrReese]

I started playing Gran Turismo 4 again a few days ago and just today I looked at that exact car (R390) in the game and marveled at it. What a stunner!

[@Tedroy]

In 2001 my wife and I test drove a Nissan Sentra. As we drove the armrest broke off into my lap. Needless to say, there is a Toyota in our driveway.

[@BlueCheesepufff]

Nissan is the guy that still works at the same gas station he did in high school while still driving his stanced 4 door '93 civic in diamond baby blue.

[@chonglers1513]

And smokes weed

[@sleazymeezy]

Nissan driving a civic 😂 your entire comment was so friggin brutal lol.

[@Fenrasulfr]

I still have a massive poster of the R391 that my dad took from the European headquarters at the time.

[@floodo1]

Iconic blue indeed. R390 road car is a classic in my mind

[@gehtdianschasau8372]

That car with the narrow front track got it wrong. Raindrops fall in a somewhat ideal aerodynamic shape, they are shaped by air resistance to have least resistance. The wide end is at the front, the narrow end at the end (subsonic). Also the steer in must have been terrible, like a motorbike that cant lean into a corner. If they had turned it around 180 degrees, it might have been better.

[@kyuzotatsuya9641]

ARGH, i can see his EYES!! HE HAS EYES!!!

[@mikemorris2042]

Always thought the R390 was the best looking of the GT1 cars.

[@miata0363]

My man. You need your glasses back. You're going to break the universe. XD Also, great video! We all know this isn't the only time Nissan embarrassed them selves at LeMans.

[@jdapaul1351]

Seems like Nissan and Toyota are pretty much antithetical to each other when it comes to race locations. Toyota is successful everywhere in the world (Le Mans, WRC, etc) yet struggled at home. Nissan is successful always in their home ground (JGTC, Fuji 24 hours, and the early Japanese racing series that featured the Hakosuka GT-R) yet wasn't quite as successful everywhere else.

[@michaelhall736]

It's a shame, because the car is absolutely gorgeous and I would love to see the road car in person.

[@john1703]

The DeltaWing was inspired. It obviously worried Toyota, who nerfed it off the road into a concrete wall at Le Mans in 2012.

[@Luky8260]

Great video,great work!Love it!

[@jeffreyzheng8875]

I literally got the Hot Wheels Nissan r390 GT1 two pack two days ago and this video is talking about it.

[@micodyerski1621]

👨‍🏫 Thanks for all your knowledge. That blue Nissan was amazing looking.

[@alaricbragg7843]

Thank you for this video! Amazing facts and footage!

[@gammagirl1992]

Another great video from you! I love this car since Gran Turismo 2.

[@kristijanbarisic4783]

I like the concept of your videos. Coming from granturismo 3 and 4 I really love seeing cars from that era.

[@محمدجباری-ث1ر]

The 90 decade Nissan race models was awesome 👌 👏. R390 was awesome and even R33 cars was almost awesome.

[@davidvasquez08]

9:08 *Insert Mark Webber 2021 Baku GP scream*

[@bmstylee]

Fun fact. Mark Weber is The Stig's favorite airline pilot.

[@trautsj]

I love the R390. Such an awesome car. I'm soooo glad that video games have allowed me to at least pseudo drive one of these glories!

[@ruddgrandprix-speedrunraci8515]

Nissan's worst enemies is nissan itself. It's almost like they were destroying themselves.

[@JK061996]

The R390's engine served as the basis for the V8 used in McLaren road cars

[@fix0the0spade]

It's nuts to think that with it's 1 win, the 'dud' R391 ended up being more succesful than the iconic Toyota GT1 with it's no wins.

[@Tom_Hadler]

Indeed. Shame the TS020 never won anything. Especially Le Mans, it's a gran turismo legend and an icon, and so much cooler than that BMW V12 LMR. Mind you, the Ferrari 330P4 only came 2nd too

[@fix0the0spade]

@@Tom_Hadler But the P4 did win at Daytona and Monza, so it only really failed at Le Mans.

[@JohnCharb87]

Strange hiccup coming from Nissan. They dominated IMSA GTP class from 1988 to 1991. Also the 300ZX in 1994 won in class in both the 24hrs of Daytona and 24hrs of Lemans.

[@IparIzar]

9:15 eh, there's a certain aussie that keeps repeating the stunt

[@tokyosmash]

I still lost the incestuous relationship between brands in motorsport.

[@putinladro6851]

Vedere la delta wing e poi la gtr lm mi vengono i brividi e mi chiedo se j progettisti siano ancora vivi

[@rikidozan93]

The Japanese will Never Give Up, no matter how the cards are stacked!

[@brianclementi9605]

I love your videos!

[@louiandrews7]

Love these vids yhe info the character the cars keep it up

[@khaledhassan6341]

where's the orange shades? 😮

[@drakesmith4857]

The r390 is elite in forza motorsport 4

[@predtr18]

It does not look good for Nissan right now, lets hope for the best.

[@Detah_]

The title is especially poignant bc Nissan claims they got 12-14 months left

[@byEclipsin]

I'm sorry, but I can't see you and think that you are the person talking in these videos... You should be one of the voices of motorsport, btw

[@purpleneons]

oh yes, time for after work chill

[@luislf779]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE GLASSES?

[@MilfordHeavenMercadoPach-im7jk]

Want is nissan moto: keep going until you win and then quit racing 😂.

[@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance]

The only thing that could be worse is when being inspected by the ACO, is if Nissan had brought a diverse group of colorful activist-models and no car. 😃

[@tolldoll1007]

WTF are you talking about?

[@oler777]

1:56 1100 kg great I have to convert that to actual useful units so it's 2425 lbs and pounds are better to measure a car in because there's more numbers so you can be more precise without going into the decimal zone

[@1mpulv]

Nissan when it comes to upholding its legacy:👨‍🦯
