Nissan GTR too common for you? how about Nismo Z?




Fresh off the finished development of the GTR, Nissan's racing division, Nismo, is at it again -- this time with an ultra expensive, racing-only Z built to Japanese Super Taikyu Series standards.The engineers at Nismo can't seem to get enough of the track and went all-out on this latest Z variation named the Fairlady Z 380RS Competition Model.




Overtly distinguishing this track-dedicated Z is a modified bodykit that includes a carbon fiber hood and doors, front canards and handcrafted rear carbon diffuser. The massive Brembo brakes measure 15-inches and hide behind ultra lightweight, black, forged monoblock wheels and add to the sinister exterior look, as does the fully adjustable racing coilover suspension. Inside the cabin are only the bare essentials needed for attacking the track. After stripping any unnecessary materials and creature comforts, Nismo engineers installed a carbon Recaro racing seat, complete roll cage with fire extinguisher, digital gauges, lightweight steering wheel, and the always essential engine cut-off switch. Modification to the all ready stout V-6 VQ35HR series engine includes an increased displacement to 3.8-liters, giving the high revving engine upwards of 400 horsepower at 7,200 rpm. Engine management is controlled by a Motec ECM, while a six-speed close-ratio transmission and Nismo LSD help to keep the Rays Engineering wheels turning as intended.As expected, this racing spec Fairlady Z will only be available in its home market of Japan. Pretending to be a Super Taikyu racer doesn't come cheap though--- Nismo's built-to-order 380RS Competition Model starts at around $284,000.Source: Nismo Japan
