PeterL, that was also an interesting find as this engine will power the Nissan ZEOD RC Car at Le Mans this year. I have info' / pics that I found earlier in the year that might interest you and others - Dave

Nissan is confident that its ZEOD RC racer will hit its stated objectives in the Le Mans 24 Hours, including the first all-electric lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe. The ZEOD is on target to complete a full racing lap purely on energy retrieved from its hybrid system and to hit 300km/h (186.4mph) on the Mulsanne Straight during that lap, according to Nissan global motorsport boss Darren Cox. They believe that the car will be able to lap slightly faster than an LMP2 prototype running on its single-turbo direct-injection petrol engine - around the 3m40s mark - and in under four minutes when running on electric power.

Dave - I wish! Love to get behind the wheel of something like that although I suspect it would have been even better to have done so 20 odd years ago - thanks for the info. I've watched, with interest, electric motors downsize over the years and now it seems to be the turn of the petrol engine although I suspect this is simply their swan-song and the mix will turn fairly soon whereby the electric/electronic motor will take over completely.
