Nissan/NISMO reveals Nissan Z GT4, ready for the track in 2023

September 27, 2022

Yokohama, Japan – Continuing the story and legend of the fabled sports car, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Motorsports & Customizing Co., Ltd. (NMC) today revealed the Nissan Z GT4, based on the all-new Nissan Z.

GT4-spec racing machines are based on production vehicles, modified for severe competition use. To that end, NMC’s NISMO Racing Division took the street version of the new Z – which is receiving acclaim around the world – 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. This created a race car that is a Nissan Z in all aspects – accessible to enthusiast drivers and hard-core professionals.

"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."

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.

Detailed vehicle 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.

Love it! All of my inner JDM single exit fartcan dreams fully realized. Would totally buy the GT4 exactly as-is in hypothetical street-legal form.

How do you mean, the performance is lacking on the Z GT4? Are there laptimes listed somewhere? Since it is a GT4, the only thing that matters for its performance is the laptimes..

Lets see the $40k Z Sport vs $43k Supra 2.0. Nissan has been hiding the lower trim, like they don't exist.
Bargain? No.

No new cars are bargains. Have not been for years. Prices are out of control

I think a 30$k GR86 Premium is a bargain for it's price point
You'd get circa 1999 Honda s2000 performance with all the reliability of a Subaru

I do think prices are getting ridiculous for some models, but the competency of some cars is at such a high level now its ridiculous to match. It's like the Japanese sport bike performance race of the 1980's. Most buyers have nowhere near the skill necessary to drive such vehicles and the performance levels require track use only. Go back to the E30 M3. The gap between it and the E30 325is was not very large and the price difference was more related to exclusivity than performance.
All the advances in technology and don't forget inflation as well. In inflation adjusted dollars, I think an ND2 is actually cheaper than a '90 NA.

As for the E30 M3. Chassis reinforcements, different aero, 5 lug hubs, bigger brakes, a nearly 100hp/L 4 DOHC, ITB, 4 cyl vs a SOHC from the 70s, etc.

There were a lot of differences between the two.

Sure thing, that's why the average car payment on the US is over $700 lol smh
