Nissan's NISMO Racing Division took the street version of the new Z and tuned the VR30DDTT engine, optimized its chassis and suspension, enhanced its aerodynamics to the limit of regulations and created a cockpit that works for drivers of all types.

The Nissan Z GT4 was developed at NISMO's engineering facilities, at multiple track-test sessions and also as a test-entry vehicle which participated in the Fuji 24 Hour Race in June, as well as additional Super Taikyu Series events at Motegi and more.

"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," said Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta. "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."

As a reminder, the standard Nissan Z develops 400 horsepower (298 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque from the 3.0-liter V6 VR30DDTT twin-turbocharged engine. Nissan Z GT4 detailed specifications will be announced at the 2022 SEMA show in the United States, November 1 - 4. Vehicles deliveries will begin in the first half of 2023.
