Having broken several land speed records in 1965, four R380s beat a trio of Porsche 906s to win the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix The R380 will be presented in Amelia is the Grand Prize real Japan win the car, and is considered the only survivor is R380.
The R380 prince is a very important race car, and we are eager to share it with the fans of the automobile over the world attend Amelia Island Concours, said Alfonso Albaisa, design director of management for INFINITI Prince Motor Company, during its short period of time, undoubtedly made history, and its engineering and legacy of design continues to live.
Prince Motor Company narrowly lost the first 1964 edition of the Grand Prix of Japan †came in second in a Porsche 904 †with Prince Skyline GT specially modified powered by a line, six-cylinder luxury Prince Gloria larger and more powerful sedan.
Fueled by their success and a passion to be the number one, the team set out to develop one of the first racing cars built for this purpose in Japan, leading the Prince R380.
Built on a BT8 Brabham chassis engine, the R380 used the unique mechanical and aerodynamic body Shinichiro Sakurai, Director of Engineering Prince Motors developed a new engine loosely based on the Skyline GT engine originally developed for the berline Gloria Known as the GR-8 1996 cubic centimeter, inline engine with six cylinders produced 200 horsepower and is coupled to a 5-speed racing gearbox.
Because there was no Japanese Grand Prix in 1965, Prince has not had a chance to campaign four R380s they built the company has used them for aerodynamic testing and accordingly, the R380 has established several world land speed records.
The second Japanese Grand Prix was held at Fuji Speedway in 1966, and Prince was finally able to enter his R380 against the performance of a trio of Porsche 906s, Prince took the win with R380 driven by Yoshikazu Sunako first just before Hideo second R380 Oishi.
Accordingly, the Prince R380, in his first official competition, has earned its place in history as a very important race car.
Prince Motor Company was born from the Tachikawa Aircraft Company, which was founded in Japan in the early 1920s and manufactured military and civilian aircraft for decades Tachikawa finally used its engineering expertise to build a car division power, which over time began to build internal combustion powered luxury cars and performance, becoming the Prince motor Company in 1952.
The first vehicle badged Prince, simply called Sedan, was an executive modest car successor to the sedan, however, was the one who put the company on a new path.
Introduced in 1957, the Prince Skyline was available as a high-end four-door sedan and station wagon with five doors Prince engineers used their aviation background to make the light horizon, which can reach top speeds higher †even with 60 horses, May 1 -liter engine with four cylinders and †it also built with a sophisticated Dion rear suspension.
A luxury sedan Skyline, called Prince Gloria, joined the line in 1959. Finally, the nameplate of the Prince Skyline has also evolved into a series of performance cuts, including the Skyline Sport 1962, which showed the manufactured body hand by the famous sports car designer Italian Giovanni Michelotti Prince then presented the first Japanese single cam SOHC head six-cylinder in 1963, available in the luxury sedan Gloria.
In 1964, when the direction of Prince Motor decided that racing pedigree would help to further establish its performance image, their engineers have a horizon line, stretched the car a few inches from the front cover, and installed the new 127 horsepower, six cylinder engine of Gloria.
The result was called Skyline GT, which was entered in the first Grand Prix of Japan, and narrowly lost the overall race, coming in second in the Porsche 904 Several hundred performance sedans Skyline GT were built to homologate the car for Prince racing aspirations.
Driven by their success in the 1964 race, the engineers developed the Prince R380, considered one of the first Japanese race cars built for this purpose The R380 has campaigned in the second Japanese Grand Prix in 1966, taking the first two positions against the Porsche 906.
This year also marked the merger of the Prince Motor Company and Nissan Motor Company and older models of the Prince brand have been integrated in the line of Nissan Skyline and Gloria La then had a second chapter of success and created legacy their own.
In the mid-1980s, Nissan Motor Company began to develop plans for a new premium car company The mission of this company was to create a simple car that you would want to take a road without end.
The name of this car brand has become NISSAN Motor Company and the logo on each of the brand's vehicles is an endless road.
The first Infiniti, the luxury performance sedan Q45, is on sale in 1989. Over the years, her car online premium increased in a series of cuts, sports and luxury sedans, crossovers and SUVs .
The legacy of numerous Infiniti vehicles can be directly attributed to Prince Motor Company Infiniti G-line sedans, Coupes and convertibles from 2002 to 2014 are descendants of the Prince Skyline, like sports Q50 sedan and today Q60 cut.
Gloria Prince has evolved over the years until it became the INFINITI M45 original, two generations represented later by Q70 luxury performance sedan today.
