After seeing sales of Porsche�s GT3 line of club-spec cars continuously rise over the years, Nissan thought it was high-time it released its own track special for both racing enthusiasts and serious competition events. The carmaker�s latest release is the new Fairlady Z Type 380RS-Competition and it has officially gone on sale for �28,350,000 ($285,700).
The car is official prepped by Nissan�s in-house tuner Nismo and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 3.8L VQ35HR V6 engine producing 350hp and 321lb-ft. of torque. The power is sent to a Nismo Super Coppermix clutch, then through a close-ratio six-speed gearbox and mechanical LSD.
Other features include a carbon fiber GT wing, high-flow catalytic converter, full roll cage, six-piston Brembo brakes, carbon fiber door panels and bonnet, polycarbonate side and rear glass, a Recaro bucket seat for the driver only plus a full harness and fire extinguisher.
The racing series the car was primarily designed for is Japan�s Super Taikyu but given the popularity of the car on which it�s based, the standard 350Z, we suspect enthusiasts all around the world will be lining up to get one.
