The exciting reveal of a brand new racing version of the road-ready Nissan Z (currently set to debut sometime within the next year) is Nissan’s return to the GT4 market! The Nissan company has also said that the Nissan Z GT4, which presently is being developed and worked on by the factory Nismo Racing Division, is a car that is entirely intended to be “accessible to enthusiast drivers and hardcore professionals.” Nissan has always done its part as a company to be able to be inclusive to everyone, so this is something that feels entirely on brand for them. Nismo has also been able to methodically tune the Z model’s VR30DDTT 3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine along with being able to make other enhancements in other areas of the vehicle like the cockpit design, the suspension, and the aerodynamics to make the vehicle more fitting for the GT4 official certification and use.
The all-new Nissan Z is illustrated in Super GT’s TOP GT500 class, which also comes in addition to the upcoming GT4 application. Nissan CEO Ashwani Gupta offered these words about the GT4 “Motorsports for Nissan is an expression of our passion and unrivaled expertise. The Nissan Z continues to maintain its position as an exciting sports car that fascinates drivers with its driving dynamics and flexible powertrain. We are confident that this track-ready GT4-category Nissan Z will be ready to write another chapter in the Nissan Z’s 50-plus-year legacy of speed.”
In this year’s (2022) Fuji 24 Hours and the Super Taikyu rounds, the concept version of the Nissan GT4 was entered. Once that occurred, Nissan had its most recent takeover of the GT4 market by introducing the 370Z GT4, a vehicle that raced full-time in the 2018 British GT championship. Nissan and Nismo had also previously developed a vehicle based on the Nissan GT-R (the GT3), which was launched back in 2012 and was followed up by a second-gen model a few years later in 2018. Nissan has plans to begin the delivery process for the GT4 within the first half of the coming year, with specific target markets for sales to customers to be released. Further details, including tech specs, will be released at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 1-4 (2022).
