Official: Nissan Nismo GT4 Race Car Teased + Reveal Coming 9/27!

[trackratZ]

GT4 Race Nismo, still curious what's been improved, and how much will end up in the street Nismo...

 

[Kbl911]

Interesting... I agree with @trackratZ, this kind of needs to be something with significant performance enhancements or it's quite the waste.

Also, isn't this just a *little* early to drop the NISMO variant? I read in the other Z forum that this is actually just the finished version of the Z race car and not necessarily an indication that a production version of the NISMO is imminent.

Who knows!

 

[siggy]

Hot dog! People haven’t even been able to get their hands on the regular Z. So another 3 years or so until we see the Nismo on the streets? I’m sure Dan Passe will provide us with some stellar insider info like he has in the past haha.

 

[Kbl911]

Yeah, we can probably just roll this in with the other thread from last night. They're all over it - this is the GT4 car.

 

[Go2ZZZ]

All the people saying I’m waiting for the nismo won’t even buy it. They complained about the price of the Z, now the nismo will be easily 10k more then then the performance model.

You're almost certainly correct, assuming that the potential NISMO buyers are the same folks who were put off by the new Z's general pricing. It's possible, though, that the NISMO is for a different kind of buyer - someone who might otherwise be considering a Cayman or a Corvette, for instance.

But, yeah, to justify what will undoubtedly be a price in excess of $60K for a Nissan Z (just think about that), it had better be a very special vehicle.

Done

This is the biggest issue for me. Not sure I see it happening. I'd still be in at $60k if it coincided with my definition of what a very special car is. Once the official pricing was released I realized it'll likely have a MSRP of at least $60k even if they simply mail it in. Some assumptions here but I just can't personally justify that. I'd just as soon spend another $20k and get something else that checks every box.

It concerns me too. If Nissan phones this one in, I fear it will damage the Z brand. Especially at that price point.

I wished it was only 10k more lol

The Nismo will be a road legal GT4.

I just went with a round number but I’m sure it will be more

 

[Houston.RZ34]

I'm willing to bet it'll be closer to 70k MSRP.

That would be...insane? It better be turnkey ready to go hang with C8 Z51's, M2's, etc on the track at that price point, and I cannot imagine Nissan could do enough to the chassis to make that a reality.

I would love to be wrong here, however, I just...don't know if it'll happen.

It's going to be very....raw and spartan

(if I had editing skills, I'd slap a Chevy, Nissan, Toyota etc logo on them - so pls use your imagination)
