The world’s greatest race is an integral part in the history of TAG Heuer from the 1970s with Ferrari, and of course with Steve McQueen and his Monaco watch for the cult LE MANS film.
For Nissan, Le Mans is the ultimate test of innovation and excitement, and it is proud to take on this challenge in partnership with TAG Heuer, whose logo features on the three GT-R LM NISMOs as they make their Le Mans debut in the LM P1 class. The Nissan GT-R LM NISMO reflects a pioneering spirit that echoes with TAG Heuer – authentic Avant-Garde design. A revolutionary new car, the GT-R LM NISMO represents a true technological challenge, featuring a front-engined and front-wheel drive design.

“The NISMO brand is all about the desire for something extra, something innovative,” said Darren Cox, NISMO’s Global Head of Brand, Marketing & Sales. “And the desirability of TAG Heuer timepieces is world renowned, so a NISMO special edition TAG Heuer watch is a great way to mark our partnership.” “We want innovation, audacity and courage to return to the Le Mans course,” said Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer and Chairman of the Watch Division of LVMH group.
