Nissan has showed off its latest prototype at Le Mans, in the Circuit de la Sarthe area. Its ZEOD RC will be competing at Le Mans 24 Hours competition in 2014.

According to autoevolution, the race car will join the competition as ACO's “Garage 56” entry. It is currently being tested before the 2014 event.

There are similarities in design since creator Ben Bowlby is now director of motorsport innovation at the Japanese company.

“Nissan has become a global leader in the development of zero emission automotive technology and the Nissan ZEOD RC will allow us to further develop those capabilities using the toughest endurance race in the world as a mobile test bed to test the potential of our planned LM P1 power train,” says Nissan VP Andy Palmer.
