R89C Le Mans 1989 No23 Masahiro Hasemi / Kazuyoshi Hoshino/ Toshio Suzuki 1:64 Die-Cast Car By Inno64

The INNO64 Nissan R89C Le Mans 1989 No.23 captures one of Nissan's important chapters in endurance racing history in a compact 1:64 scale collectible. Finished in the iconic Calsonic Nissan blue, white and red racing livery, this miniature represents the R89C entered at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1989, driven by Masahiro Hasemi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki. Its low-slung Group C silhouette, enclosed cockpit, extensive aerodynamic bodywork and enormous rear wing give the model the unmistakable appearance of a late-1980s endurance prototype.

INNO64 has paid particular attention to the elements that make a Group C racing car visually distinctive. The model features the No.23 race number, Calsonic Nissan graphics, Dunlop branding, Nissan badging, period-correct sponsor markings, racing slicks and a highly detailed aerodynamic body. The removable body configuration also provides an appreciation of the underlying race-car engineering, with the cockpit, engine-area detailing and chassis components visible when the outer bodywork is separated. For collectors of Le Mans race cars, Nissan motorsport history, Group C prototypes, Japanese racing cars and premium 1:64 die-cast models, this R89C makes a particularly compelling addition to a motorsport display.

The Nissan R89C and 1989 Le Mans

The Nissan R89C belongs to the era when Group C endurance racing produced some of the most technically ambitious racing cars in motorsport. These prototypes were designed around long-distance competition, where aerodynamic efficiency, high-speed stability and mechanical endurance were just as important as outright pace. The result was a generation of cars defined by long, low bodies, enclosed cockpits, extensive aerodynamic surfaces and powerful rear-mounted powertrains.

The 1989 Le Mans entry represented Nissan's continued push into international endurance racing. The No.23 machine associated with Masahiro Hasemi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki carries the visual identity of the period particularly well, with its Calsonic-sponsored livery making it immediately recognizable to fans of Japanese motorsport.

INNO64's 1:64 interpretation preserves the visual language that makes the R89C interesting to collectors. The sweeping bodywork leads into a broad rear section, while the large Nissan-branded rear wing dominates the profile. The blue, white and red livery is complemented by small sponsor markings, race numbers and tyre lettering, giving the miniature the dense visual character expected from a period endurance-racing machine.

The removable bodywork adds another layer of interest. Instead of presenting the R89C purely as a closed display model, the configuration allows collectors to appreciate details beneath the aerodynamic shell. This makes it particularly suitable for enthusiasts who enjoy the engineering side of motorsport and want more than a simple exterior replica.

At 1:64 scale, the model also works well as part of a broader Le Mans or Group C collection. It can sit alongside other endurance prototypes, Japanese racing machines and historic Nissan competition cars without requiring the display space associated with larger scales.

Safety Warning & Age Restriction

Safety Warning: This is a collectible scale model intended primarily for collectors and hobbyists. It contains small and delicate components that may present a choking hazard. Keep away from children under 3 years of age. The rear wing, antennas, bodywork and other fine-scale components should be handled carefully to avoid damage.
