The Nissan Z GT4, based on the all-new Nissan Z, was shown publicly for the first time this week at the 2022 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
First revealed at the end of September in traditional NISMO livery, the Nissan Z GT4 for SEMA featured a unique livery that ties in past vintage racing heritage with modern design.
The front hood displays the number 23, Nissan’s exclusive number, found within a rising sun circle harking back to the very early racing liveries of the 70’s. Additionally, the new Z logos on the rear quarter panel highlight the modern interpretation of the original 240Z and Fairlady Z badging, all while covered over the iconic Nissan and NISMO red and black colour scheme.
For the Nissan Z GT4’s inaugural 2023 season, Nissan/NISMO will provide cars to pilot customer teams in the US and Japan for the SRO Pirelli GT4 America series and Super Taikyu Series, respectively. NISMO will also offer technical support.
Additional vehicles are scheduled to be supplied from 2024, with orders being accepted from mid-2023.
Michael Carcamo, global program director, sports cars, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd:
“The SEMA Show is an ideal place to debut our Z GT4 to racers, enthusiasts and the entire industry,” said Carcamo. “We are in the throes of preparing for the 2023 racing season, testing here locally this past weekend, and we look forward to continuing to talk with teams and continue to establish the Z as a force to be reckoned with on tracks around the world.”
While developing the Nissan Z GT4, NMC’s NISMO racing division conducted extensive testing in Japan and the United States but also took part in select Japanese races.
