The Nismo GT-R LM was the ultra-rare homologation road car built for Nismo's 1995–1996 Le Mans 24 Hours campaign. The GT class rules required a road-going version of any car entered — so Nismo built exactly ONE road car, registered in the United Kingdom but never marketed, to homologate the GT-R for the race. It is one of the rarest factory-built GT-Rs ever, and the progenitor of the Nismo 400R that followed.
