Hasegawa 20658 Nissan R91CP “Shakedown” 1/24 – plastic model kit

The Hasegawa 20658 Nissan R91CP “Shakedown” 1/24 scale model kit is a true treat for fans of automotive legends and advanced car modeling. This kit faithfully replicates the historical test version (“Shakedown”) of the iconic Japanese race car Nissan R91CP, which belonged to the Group C series—vehicles that dominated Japanese and international endurance racing at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.

The Nissan R91CP was a creation developed by Nissan Motorsports for the world’s most prestigious tracks, including the illustrious 24h Le Mans and Japan’s All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. The “Shakedown” model refers to the special version used during pre-season testing and preparatory sessions, playing a key role in developing race car performance. These vehicles were rigorously tested on the track during 1991-1993, at the end of the golden age of Group C, just before the transition to new racing regulations.
