" Among the slew of rather identical Le Mans race cars last season, Nissan dared to take a stab at being different. Really different. The GT-R LM\u00A0was supposed to be\u00A0a 1940-pound\u00A0hybrid with a front-mid-engine layout\u00A0that sent 1250-hp to the front wheels and occasionally the rear wheels. In reality, the hybrid system was wonky and the front\u00A0wheels were the only ones that were powered. It had some issues... to put it lightly.\u00A0 It looked\u00A0like one of those deep sea creatures whose bodies evolved to\u00A0withstand the incredible weight of the ocean. We called it &amp;quot;bravely ass-backwards.&amp;quot; We dug that they took a chance on something new. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re just gonna copy your rivals, you can basically guarantee that you will be unlikely to win,&amp;quot; said Ben Bowlby, the technical director of the NISMO Race Team. Although\u00A0yes, the car\u00A0was slow, and yes, it didn&amp;#039;t win,\u00A0it\u00A0offered a fresh take on Le Mans regulations by breaking some unspoken rules and breaking none of the spoken ones. In fact, we get the sense that winning wasn&amp;#039;t really the main point here. GoPro went\u00A0behind the scenes with the GT-R LM&amp;#039;s design team and crew. It follows the car&amp;#039;s innovative development and testing, and is pretty fantastic. Take a look.\u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
