Take A Look Under The Skin Of The Nissan ZEOD RC

Nissan-ZEOD-RC-ExposedIt features thousands of parts, brand new technology, has taken countless hours of design, engineering, construction and testing and now Nissan has revealed what is under the skin of the Nissan ZEOD RC prototype.

With every single component on the car down to the smallest nut and bolt modeled in computer aided design (CAD) technology, Nissan has released a unique image showcasing the inner workings of the car.

The Nissan ZEOD RC will fill Garage 56 at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, an additional entry reserved for new automotive technology never previously seen on track.

The car aims to complete the first all-electric lap of famous 8.5-mile circuit – running in virtual silence down the Mulsanne straight.

In addition to revealing the unique ZEOD “components” image, Nissan has also revealed video from the recent FIA crash test that every Le Mans prototype has to pass prior to competing.

“Our philosophy at Nissan is to really let fans get a behind-the-scenes look as to what it takes to develop the unique technology in the Nissan ZEOD RC,” said Darren Cox, Global Head of Brand, Marketing & Sales, NISMO.

“What we’re trying to achieve is actually quite remarkable. Taking a Le Mans prototype around the full 8.5-mile circuit at Le Mans on nothing but electric power is one thing, but doing it with a top speed of more than 300km/h and completing a lap faster than a GT car is incredible.

The Nissan ZEOD RC is powered by two 110kw electric motors that transfer power to the wheels via the same gearbox that is connected to the internal combustion engine.

The car aims to complete a lap of Le Mans on battery power faster than a GT LM category Le Mans entry. The remarkable 400 horsepower, 40 kilogram, 1.5 liter, three-cylinder turbocharged engine will start the race with the electric motors taking over for a final all-electric lap after each fuel stint.

The car’s debut at the Circuit de la Sarthe on the Le Mans Test Day on June 1 will feature GT Academy winner Wolfgang Reip and two-time Le Mans LM P2 winner, Tommy Erdos.
