2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z street-legal race car
The new rear-wheel drive Nissan NISMO 350Z may be looking not as cute as the "ordinary" Nissan 350Z does, but it's surely more powerful and agile than its sibling. Featuring new aerodynamics package and sportier handling equipment, the new NISMO 350Z will be available only with a six-speed manual gearbox mated to a mighty V6 engine.

Mighty engine

The new 3.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC V6 (VQ35HR) produces a maximum of 306 hp reached at 6,800 rpm and 268 lb-ft of torque peaking at 4,800 rpm. New ram air dual intake, equal length exhaust manifold and NISMO-branded tuned dual exhaust system with laser-welded rear mufflers help the engine breath easier. Its efficiency is ensured with the help of eCVTCS technology, improved cooling and stiffer engine block structure, as well as small pitch silent cam chain.
