Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Inspired by the popularity of the BMW Short Films, Nissan tried to do something similiar with the Nissan 350Z. It follows the style of underground racing flicks like Getaway in Stockholm, with a camera mounted on the top of the car recording a high-speed spirited drive through a city. Video after the jump.

not as nice as the BMW roadster
Quite boring clip… running for few minutes without anything special…. watch till nearly sleep… haha…
City looked like Prague, in Czech republic.
Why was the driver so hesitant on the gas pedal?
i call it. tour in a city in a few minutes. nice engine sound but no stun like BMW. mayb we can see more in Tokyo Drift movie soon.
paul, you are fast, m8. 2 thumbs up. hehehe…
tanasi,
maybe you can check this out http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/TheRun.shtml to know how hesistant the stunt driver jimmy on the gas.
very realistic analysis on the speed. woo hoo…
ay, why so boring oneeeeeeee.. no drifting or sooooo
my 350z in Need For Speed is faster xD
It is in prague. This one was released 3 or 4 years ago, during the launch of the Nissan 350Z. I guess most of you don't know how hard it is to drive fast on the Tram tracks. Therefore your guess to why the driver was hesitant on the gas pedal. It is extremely slippery and his control on the track was amazing.
Also, the purpose of this video was to show the amazing manouverability of the car as it was constantly running on the old roads in the old city of prague. These roads offer very little grip and the narrrowness of the European streets are a sign to show how accurate the handling is as nissan is always trying to achieve. Furthermore, there were parts of the road which were wet and puddly. Not as interesting, but gives u more focus on the engine revs and how the car moves.
m8 karheng,
good on u m8. you are more observant than the rest. but the average running speed was less than 70km/h which is quite slow by those critics standard.
maybe those bmw fanboys din actually realise the extra steering wheel on the right hand side.
You guy really have to watch the "Rendezvous" short film. Google it.
