Jalada Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Nismo, the recently relaunched performance arm of Nissan, has announced a new engineering partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering to develop high-performance Nismo-branded road cars from 2014 onwards. Nismo is expecting Williams to use its F1 know-how in aerodynamics, simulation and material science to help improve the Nismo line-up.

Ekona Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Branding exercise, nothing more. I can't see any reason why Nismo, who have an incredibly successful and talented team of engineers working on many racing projects across various platforms including the current GT-R, would need mass involvement from Williams to put some go-faster bits on some otherwise uninspiring (Zed and GT-R excepted) road cars.

AliveBoy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Or maybe I'm just too cynical. I'd tend to agree. The delta wing didn't seem to slouch, and the new Nismo 0 emission racer is taking part in LM24 next year. Seems a bit odd considering that Infiniti are primary sponsor for RedBull.
