Looks like an old Nissan GTP ZX Turbo from the late 80's / early 90's.

*edit* - yep, you can see it stamped on the wing as it rolls past.

It's not a ZX turbo, it's a Nissan R390

Nope, its not like it actually has the name on the wing of the car or anything...

BTW the R390 came out in 97, about a decade after the ZX Turbo did.

It is most definitely not an R390. However, it appears it isn't a regular GTP-ZX Turbo either. Looks to be the NPT-90 version based on the ducting and front diffuser. Owned or driven by Todd Hall Motor Racing at some point (also stamped on the side of the car).

Not sure if this is the same car in its original configuration (note spoiler and ducting changes depending on setup) #83 vs. #85.



The car pictured above was recently sold, here is its history/specs:
1990 Nissan Serial Number 90-1
Driven by Jeff Brabham to World Championship in 1990
Winner of 12 Hours of Sebring 1991
about 1500 Horsepower
