Nissan Z GT500

Cars from the Japanese Super GT series attract special attention. So Nissan has decided to introduce its new racing model, the Z GT500, next year.

“We are entering the 2022 Super GT series with our all-new Nissan Z GT500 car and our huge passion for motorsports. We hope that our fans will continue to passionately support the Nissan and NISMO motorsport teams, ”said NISMO President and CEO Takao Katagiri.

Back in the 70s Nissan was achieving outstanding results with the S30 240Z racing model, and now it is trying to continue with the new model which does not share much with the road version. It is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 650 hp (478 kW).

“The Nissan Z GT500 symbolizes Nissan’s spirit of taking on challenges and bringing excitement to life. Through our racing efforts we continue to innovate our cars and we race to win with the same daring we have displayed so many times over the years, ”said Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta.

Whether the Nissan Z GT500 will be a good rival to the Toyota Supra and Honda NSX remains to be seen.

Nissan Juke 700-R

In collaboration with SVM, Nissan has produced a limited edition Nissan Juke 700-R. It is one of only 5 produced copies.

All five cars were developed by Severn Valley Motorsport (SVM) under the supervision of Nissan experts. Unfortunately, two cars were destroyed in traffic accidents. Besides the sales model, two are owned by Nissan.

Maybe someone will think it’s a 2015 Nissan Juke-R 2.0, but it’s not. The Nissan Juke 700-R is powered by a 3.8-liter petrol VR38-DETT V6 engine with 700 hp. That’s 100 hp more than the 2015 Juke-R which has 600 hp. The engine is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The car is equipped with a wide carbon body kit, carbon wheel arch extensions, carbon front and rear bumper, Juke R rear air diffuser and top twin spoilers. Inside the car there are sports seat belts, special mats and a fire extinguisher. It rides on 20-inch wheels with Bridgestone Flat 225/40/20 (front) and 285/35/20 (rear) tires.

For safe stopping and braking there are SVM 400mm front brakes with R35 Brembo brake calipers.

The Nissan Juke 700-R has the number # 005 and was last manufactured. The price of this model is € 237,941 ($ 278,000).

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.
