Nissan R381 is a Group 7 racing car especially built for 1968 Japan Grand Prix (GP race). The biggest characteristic of the machine is the active split rear wings named “Aero Stabilizer” whose left wing and right wing coordinate with the rear suspension, move independently while running, and move together at braking. The R381 machines with this characteristic wings were called “Griffin.”
This car is No.20, driven by Moto Kitano that won the championship of the 1968 GP race.
