A Visual History of Nissan’s Racing Pedigree

Nissan’s Heritage Collection is a living museum of more than 500 cars dating back to the brand’s first model in 1947. It’s well worth a visit next time you’re in Japan, but don’t go expecting a museum like those architecturally-significant brand cathedrals BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz built in their hometowns. Instead, Nissan’s Heritage Collection is located in an ordinary low-rise industrial warehouse on the outskirts of Tokyo. The building is humble, but its contents are anything but.
