The newest racing car Nissan bearing the name GT4 has just been presented for the first time to the public as part of the SEMA 2022 Show, it is called Nissan Z GT4. Based on the new production Nissan Z, the Z GT4 is the result of a collaboration between Nissan, its high performance division Nismo and Nissan Motorsports and Customizing.

Officially introduced a month ago, the racing model offers style and inspiration from Nissan’s racing models of the past. The bonnet features the number 23, the emblematic number of Nissan’s racing cars in its very first motorsport debut. Its Z emblem takes up the retro style of that of the original 240Z, while the manufacturer has retained a mixture of black and red colors for the bodywork.

A 450 horsepower engine

NISMO engineers overhauled the Nissan Z’s 3.0-liter VR30DDTT V6 engine to give it more power; it develops a total of 450 horsepower. The chassis and suspension of the Nissan Z have also been optimized, as have the driving dynamics thanks to the addition of numerous parts favoring aerodynamics, in particular.

“Motorsport for Nissan is the expression of our passion and unparalleled expertise. The Nissan Z continues to maintain its position as an exciting sports car that fascinates drivers with its driving dynamics and smooth powertrain, said Ashwani Gupta, Chief Operating Officer of Nissan. We are confident that this Nissan Z GT4 will be ready to write a new chapter in the 50-year heritage of the Nissan Z”.
