You mean to say naturally-aspirated.
Japan Report: We Check Out the Nissan GT-R GT500 Race Car in Person
Written By: Peter Nunn
On the Nissan stand at the Tokyo Auto Salon, the NISMO works entry for the 2008 Super GT race series was unveiled, looking utterly bewitching under the show lights.
Nissan’s not saying what’s under the hood, but word is that it may borrow last season’s 4.5-liter normally-aspirated V-8 from the GT 500 class NISMO 350Z, good for “over 500 horsepower.”
Purists would doubtless prefer Nissan work on the stock 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 but that’s still very new for top flight racing so for now, in the interests of durability, NISMO may well go the proven V-8 route for this top GT race series.
But hey, a V-8 GT-R doesn’t sound bad, does it?

I have a question. Sorry to sound like an amateur, but what is that yellow ring thing on the front for? I see it on a lot of racing cars. Is it for towing?
