Nismo Type 380RS


The new Nissan will be available on the Japanese automarket in a limited edition of 300 unints. The price will be around $44,000, not too much if we think that the 2007 Nismo 350 Z is sold at a price of $38,695 .

The new Type 380 RS has a 3.8 litre engine ( the engine displacement is increased from 3.5 to 3.8 liters, as indicated by the name - 380 RS) delivering 350 bhp and torque to 293 pound-feet. Not a very big difference if we think that the DOHC 3.5-liter V6 from the Z delivers 306 bhp.

Nismo has done its usual superb job of tuning and fitting appropriate aerodynamic mods to the body.The Nismo Type 380RS gets upgraded shocks, springs and stabilizer bars, as well as stunning aerodynamic touches to the bodywork. The brakes are fitted with Brembo disc brakes. The Nismo comes with Bridgestone Potenza RE01R shoes (245/40R18 in front, 275/35R19 in the rear)

Inside, the Type 380RS features a perforated-leather steering wheel with the Z logoadding a very nice touch on the car, shift knob and handbrake lever, plus drilled aluminum pedals, a unique gauge cluster and sport bucket seats trimmed in Alcantara and leather.
