2023 Nissan Z GT4

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.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Rolls-Royce always conquers and forever inspires. Timeless in concept yet thoroughly modern in execution, the Ghost is truly Rolls-Royce at its most graceful and dramatic. A powerful car that tuners always try to make better, like Novitec that prepared a special equipment kit, called Ghost Black Badge.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is equipped with a redesigned front bumper with sports intakes and optional integrated LED lights, sill extensions available for the standard and long-wheelbase versions, a new lip spoiler, exhaust system with or without flap-regulation. There’s also a Spofecom Can-Tronic module for the standard air suspension that lowers the Ghost by 40 mm, and automatically returns to standard height at speeds above 140 km/h.

Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 706 hp (519 kW) and 739 lb-ft (1,002 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Ghost has 603 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (841 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.3 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 22-inch Vossen rims wrapped in 265/35R22 (front) and 295/30R22 (rear) tires.
