Slot It SICA28C Nissan R89C - no. 82 24h Le Mans 1990, drivers: H.Regout, C.Los & A.Cudini
For the 1989 season, rather than relying again on the chassis built by March, Nissan had developed the R89C model in conjunction with Lola. The car featured a kevlar and carbon-fibre based monocoque chassis fitted with Nissan's new twin-turbo VRH35 3.5L V8 DOHC engine, delivering up to 950bhp, which was mounted in a stressed installation for better chassis rigidity.
Despite Nissan's efforts, the 1989 World Sportscar Championship season was rather unsuccessful for Nissan, as their cars lacked reliability and speed. The beautiful R89C was only able to score points in three races and finished the season in fifth place in the championship for teams.
This model raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1990, driven by H.Regout, C.Los, A.Cudini.
