Have we talked about this yet?

Nismo turbo 1.5L 3cyl. That weighs 88lbs and makes 400hp.

On its own, amazing.

As a new Nissan LaMans concept, history is not on it's side.

Pretty impressive. With that kind of power and size, I expected it to be turning superbike-level rpms. Nope - 7500 apparently. That's less than my Integra's redline.

Good lord... Is the block carbon fiber printed?

Also, maybe a misprint, but a 5spd gear box? I thought lemans protos were up to seven and eights?

That's a news article dating back to January 2014. If the GRM forums didn't discuss it back in the day, then it was the only forum not to.

Wow, this engine could compete with turboshaft engines of a similar weight for peak power output.

Missed the date on the article sorry about that. The friend of mine that posted it to me on Facebook also suggested kart engine, or maybe motorcycle.
