About the Nissan R390 GT1 #0 24 Hours of Le Mans 1998 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Nissan R390 GT1 #0 reproduces the factory endurance racer entered at the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A genuine factory GT1 prototype for a Le Mans-focused shelf.

Nissan's R390 GT1 was purpose-built for a single goal, competing at Le Mans, and this AUTOart diecast captures that focused engineering brief in scale form.

AUTOart's Prototype Detailing and This Copy's Condition

The diecast body's zinc alloy construction lets AUTOart reproduce the R390's aerodynamic bodywork, wide rear wing and low-slung proportions with the precision a GT1-class prototype demands. Doors and bonnet open to show the mid-mounted engine bay and stripped cockpit built for 24-hour endurance racing, and the factory Nissan livery with race number 0 sits accurately across the panels. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than shop-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a niche factory prototype like this, livery precision matters more to most buyers than box condition does.

The R390's Place in Le Mans History

Nissan developed the R390 GT1 specifically to exploit the GT1 regulations of the late 1990s, a category that also produced cars like the Porsche 911 GT1 and Mercedes CLK-GTR, and its 1998 Le Mans entry represented a serious, factory-backed Japanese effort against Europe's established manufacturers. Displayed alongside other historic GT and endurance prototypes, this model documents a brief but technically fascinating era of sports car racing.
