Nissan Z with retro design and 400 hp

Nissan has unveiled its new model, the Nissan Z. This retro-designed sports car will run a 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 hp, and will be produced in two versions: Sport and Performance.

Ever since the first introduction of the 370 Z model, 13 years ago, the Nissan Z series has not changed much. The intention was not only to build a more powerful and agile car, but also to become one with the driver.

Inspired by a ’69 model, the Nissan Z got a reinforced body and a redesigned suspension, but retained the bonnet and a more subtle rear spoiler. The grille and LED lights are taken from the Z Proto model, and new shock absorbers have been installed to ensure better stability.

With a focus on the driver, the interior is designed in a blend of comfort and technology. The seats are upholstered in black leather or fabric. An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment screen is located in the center of the dashboard, while a 9-inch touch screen is available in the Performance model.

The Nissan Z will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, with a water-cooled intercooler. It is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. There will also be a nine-speed automatic transmission (optional).

Sport Brakes with 4-piston calipers will ensure safe braking and stopping. The Sport model will use 18 “wheels with 248/45 tires, while the Performance will have 19” wheels with 255/40 tires at the front and 275/35 tires at the rear.

The car will go on sale early next year, and it is currently unknown how much it will cost.

The Bugatti Bolide is worth a staggering $ 4.8 million

In 2020, Bugatti introduced its hyper car, the Bugatti Bolide. It is a concept car based on the Chiron model. This time Bugatti intends to produce a production version in just 40 copies.

According to the pictures, the car will keep the same aerodynamics as the previous model. The height of Bolide is remarkably low. It’s only 995 millimeters (39.1 inches) tall. The Bolide sits on a super-light and super-stiff carbon fiber monocoque. Carbon fiber is also used in the front-end and underbody.

The X-shaped lights at the front and rear make the car look straight out of a Sci-Fi movie, and spy shots have revealed that they are in reality even more spectacular. The suspension is by titanium pushrods with horizontal dampers. Welded stainless-steel control arms are also designed as wing profiles.

“A significant number of enthusiasts and collectors have called for the development of the experimental Bolide as a production car,” said Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann.

The production Bolide will be powered by a turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 1,578 hp (1,160 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. That’s slightly less than the base concept model which has 1,825 hp and 1,365 lb-ft of torque. It also weighs 462 lb (210 kg) less than the base model, which weighs 3,200 lb (1,451 kg).

The first copies are expected to be delivered in 2024 at a price of $ 4.8 million.

Nissan Note Aura Nismo

After last year’s introduction of the third-generation hybrid car, the Nissan Note, the time has come for the company to launch its new model, the Nissan Note Aura Nismo.

We are not based on the Note model, but inspired by race cars. It is painted white with many red accents that continue inside. In addition to the changed exterior, the car also got a new bumper as well as a slightly smaller roof spoiler.

Inside, Recaro seats are upholstered in a combination of leather and fabric, with contrasting stitches. There is an embroidered logo on the head of the seat. On the dashboard, covered with leather, there is a digital cluster next to which is a large display.

The Note Aura Nismo is powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine with two electric motors. The engines produce 134 hp (99 kW) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque. Comes with three driving modes and front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive optional). The car is mounted on 17-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

If you’re wondering how much the new Nismo will cost, Nissan has announced that, in Japan, the price of this model will be around $ 26,000 (2,869,900 yen).
