Nissan's new GT4-spec Z race car may hint at upgrades planned for a future Z Nismo.
Order books will open in mid-2023 for delivery in time for the 2024 motorsport season. However, select customer teams competing in the U.S.-based SRO Pirelli GT4 America series and Japan's Super Taikyu Series will receive early versions in 2023 to help with the evaluation program.
The price is set at $229,000, which includes the required race package though not destination charges and taxes. The Z GT4 has been developed by Nismo and is powered by the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 found in the road car but with output dialed to 450 hp, up from the usual 400 hp. Torque is also boosted to 443 lb-ft, from the road car's 350 lb-ft.
The chassis and suspension have been reworked for racing duty, and the car gets a new body kit with upgraded aerodynamics. A massive wing, a new front splitter, a vented hood with locking pins, and a new 18-inch wheels are all present. A stripped-out interior has helped get the weight down to 3,108 lb, which is almost 380 lb lighter than the road car.Though it's yet to be confirmed, some of the upgrades may eventually make it over to a Nismo-tuned version of the road car.
