Nissan's motorsports arm Nismo has turned racecar convention on its head with the new GT-R LM Nismo, which will compete this year in the FIA's top-tier LM P1 category.

Why is it so unusual? Because in a field dominated by mid-engined, rear-drive or all-wheel drive prototypes, the GT-R LM will be the only front-engined, front-wheel drive car on the grid.

Okay so technically it's mid-engined, but the engine still sits ahead of the driver, pushing the cockpit rearward and giving the GT-R LM an awkwardly upright silhouette.

It looks odd and is radically different to the GT-R road car, but Nismo promises that the concept will work.
