Nissan Z GT500 Race Car Unveiled

Nissan Motor and Nissan Motorsports unveiled a newly designed Nissan Z GT500 race car at Fuji International Speedway. The new GT500 racer will participate in the Super GT Series starting with the 2022 season. This means that we GT-R has been ousted by the New Z in the Super GT Series and yes, we will miss it.

In the early 1970s as a newcomer motor racing in the United States, Nissan clocked up straight wins at the SCCA C Production Series with the S30 240Z. In the 1990s, Nissan had multiple wins at the IMSA Series with the Z32 300ZX and its participation in the JGTC/Super GT series with the Z33 in the 2000s ultimately led to a series championship. The new Z GT500 race car will take up the mantle now. 

Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta said, "The Nissan Z GT500 symbolizes Nissan's spirit of taking on challenges and bringing excitement to life. Through our racing efforts we continue to innovate our cars and we race to win with the same daring we have displayed so many times over the years."
