The new Nissan Z GT4 has arrived on the market. The racing car was created in cooperation between two Japanese companies, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and NMC, and is based on the Nissan Z model.
The Nissan Z is powered by a VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine with 400 hp (294 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque, and the same engine is expected to power the new race car. Although there is not enough information so far, it is known that Nissan tuned the engine, optimized the chassis and suspension and improved the aerodynamics according to the regulations of the GT4 category. Nissan says the Z GT4 race car is “affordable to enthusiasts and top professionals”.
“Motorsports for Nissan is an expression of our passion and unrivaled expertise. The Nissan Z continues to maintain its position as an exciting sports car that fascinates drivers with its driving dynamics and flexible powertrain. We are confident that this track-ready GT4-category Nissan Z will be ready to write another chapter in the Nissan Z’s 50-plus-year legacy of speed,” Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta said at the unveiling.
Specifications will be announced at the SEMA show in the US in November this year, and deliveries are expected in the first half of 2023.
