The Nissan GTP ZX-T is one of the most legendary prototypes of the IMSA GTP era. Its twin-turbocharged V6 and lightweight design made it nearly unbeatable on American road courses, and in iRacing it offers drivers the same blend of raw speed and technical challenge.
Specs
- Engine: 3.0L twin-turbo V6
- Horsepower: ~800 hp
- Weight: ~900 kg
- Transmission: 5-speed manual
Handling Profile
The ZX-T is a car of extremes – explosive straight-line speed combined with delicate handling dynamics. Drivers must carefully balance its turbo surge with precise cornering inputs.
- Cornering: Stable at speed, but turbo lag and sudden boost can upset balance.
- Braking: Long distances required; heavy pedal control is vital.
- Acceleration: Brutal when turbos spool, demanding throttle finesse.
Driving Value
The ZX-T is an advanced driver’s car. It’s less forgiving than modern GTP/Hypercar machinery, but mastering it offers an authentic look into historic prototype racing. Its high learning curve makes it deeply rewarding once tamed.
Final Thoughts
The Nissan GTP ZX-T is a living legend. In iRacing, it recreates the raw power and excitement of IMSA’s golden age, offering a driving challenge unlike anything else in the sim.
