The Cherry X-1R, along with the Skyline GT-R, is a famous car that forms Nissan's R history. It debuted in March 1973 as a derivative of the first-generation Cherry, which was Nissan's first full-fledged FWD model. The base model is the X-1 coupe, which gained popularity for its bold styling.

3. The top Cherry was the X-1R (1973, (PE10STE)), a special model with 160km top speed and simplified interior, designed to transfer the power of the twin carb engine to the pavement.

10月下旬、発売まちかいチェリー·クープが富士スピードウェイそ試走した。エアロダイナミックスなプレーンバック·スタイルは、この高速コースによくマッチし、高性能の1270cc(ルーカス·インジェクション付き)と相まって、かなりの成果を得たという。その後、ニッサン·チームは実戦に参加すべく、同社の村山テスト·コースで最後の調整にはげんでいる。
In late October, the soon-to-be-released Cherry Coupe was test-run at Fuji Speedway. The aerodynamic plane-back style matches this high-speed course well, and combined with the high-performance 1270cc engine (with Lucas injection), it is said to have produced some impressive results. Since then, the Nissan team has been working hard on making final adjustments at the company's Murayama test course in preparation for its participation in the actual race.
