NISMO Z GT4 Concept

[Georges1]

This Z will enter the 2023 Fuji 24 hour race for further testing


thoughts on the new front and hood?

more cut out front bumper for extra cooling and the hood features revised slatted vents instead of the mesh openings of the current GT4 race car

I like the hood and the left and right air vents.

Since all these photos are of a NISMO test mule, I wouldn't expect that much--if anything--will resemble a production NISMO street Z.

this is the new revised GT4 that will be racing for the first time this weekend.

Understood, but it's still a revision undergoing development. That means appearance is at the bottom of the list.

Yeah but this is going to be the aero has the original GT4 debuted at this same 24 hour race last year and the final product was identical to what they ran in that race. So I think this is it
Wll have some better pics hopefully later In that week!

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Makoto Uchida) and Nissan Motor Sports & Customize Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Takao Katagiri; Abbreviation: NMC) have announced the Nissan Z (Japanese name: Nissan announced that it will participate in the ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2023 Round 2 "NAPAC Fuji SUPER TEC 24 Hours Race" (May 26-28) with a race car "Nissan Z Racing Concept" based on the Fairlady Z).

Nissan and NMC are challenging a new motorsport category with the Nissan Z. Last year, the Nissan Z Racing Concept entered the Fuji 24 Hours Race for the first time and finished the race. This year as well, we will be competing in the same race's "ST-Q class" with a vehicle based on the Nissan Z GT4 with improvements focused on aerodynamics and cooling system parts. By participating in the same class in which development vehicles are allowed to participate, we collect various data necessary for the development of racing vehicles and aftermarket parts, and by using CNF (carbon neutral fuel) as fuel, we will further enhance our knowledge of CNF. Aim to deepen.

By fiscal 2050, Nissan aims to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire product life cycle. In terms of motorsports, in addition to participating in the electric car race "ABB FIA Formula E World Championship", we are promoting initiatives aimed at realizing a wide range of carbon-neutral motorsports, such as developing racing vehicles using CNF. I'm here.

Takao Katagiri, Nissan's Motor Sports Business Unit Office Head and President of NMC, said, "In order to expand the possibilities of motor sports activities, we are taking on new challenges that incorporate a sustainable perspective. I expect that we will be able to obtain a lot of useful data from actual races precisely because of the extremely harsh conditions of racing, and we will use the knowledge we gain in future development to create cars that customers will enjoy even more. I will come," he said.

It's interesting that they left the spoiler on given the size of that wing. Maybe the wing can be smaller with the spoiler, too.

That looks so good. I love the swan neck wing. If the Nismo looks pretty close to this I'll call it a win. I'm sold.
