The Altima’s new colours have been revealed as part of Nissan’s Australian motorsport launch at Phillip Island today, which includes testing the factory GT-R GT3 that will race at the Bathurst 12 Hour in just over a week.

Both V8s pilot Rick Kelly and GT ace Florian Strauss are driving the GT3 car.

“Today is a display of how heavily committed Nissan is to Australian motorsport,” said Nissan Australia’s Managing Director and CEO Richard Emery.

“Elements from all three pillars of our local motorsport activities – V8 Supercars, GT3 and the Bathurst 12 Hour, and the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy program, were all at Phillip Island.

“All is now set for a huge 2016 season, beginning with the Bathurst 12 Hour next month, where the Nissan GT-R will strive to win back-to-back victories at Mount Panorama, just as it did in 1991 and 1992.”
