370z nismo rc race car

somatic · 10-26-2011, 09:59 AM

I know this has been brough up before, but I figured i would post the official press release. Basically, although it's not that much faster, it will be more capable of lasting on the track. Roll cage FTW lol. My manager told me these will be available in North America, but he's not sure about pricing. There is an email you can contact though for more info. ***UPDATE***Confirmed by Nissan it's $150k!

NISSAN MOTORSPORTS OFFERS NISSAN 370Z NISMO RC RACE CAR

Iconic GT car is lighter, faster and ready for the track

If you’ve ever wanted to extend your love of the iconic Nissan Z-car from the street to the track, now is a good time to take action. Nissan Motorsports is now offering Nissan 370Z race cars for customer orders. The track-ready Nissan 370Z NISMO RC is based on the street legal Z-car, but is significantly lighter and fitted with a FIA-compliant roll cage, fire extinguisher, racing seat and numerous NISMO performance upgrades.

The Nissan 370Z NISMO RC has been designed to conform to International FIA GT4 and World Challenge GTS class specifications. With some modifications, the Nissan 370Z NISMO RC can also compete in the Grand Am Continental Tire Challenge GS class.

Weighing in at 2,954 lbs., the Nissan 370Z NISMO RC features NISMO race exhaust, NISMO tuned ECM, high capacity NISMO clutch, flywheel, engine oil, transmission and differential coolers and a Recaro racing seat with 6-point racing harness. A Sparco racing steering wheel and a revamped and race-ready carbon fiber switch panel are also part of the RC package. The 3.7 liter Nissan VQ37VHR powerplant is rated at 355 horsepower and 276 ft. lbs. of torque. Numerous hose and connector upgrades have been added to meet the rigorous demands of track use.

Nissan Motorsports provides an easy way to race its 370Z in a competitive professional racing series. Interested parties may contact Nissan Motorsports at 1 (888) 833-3225 for more information, or send e-mail inquiries to nmc.race@nissan-usa.com.

I'm serious. This thing is a stripped out race car. It's a raw performance car.

You don't need more than 350hp to move less than 3000 lbs. Try it some time.
