Nissan 350Z GT-S Supercharged
A couple of Nissan engineers cooked up this special concept of the Nissan 350Z during their spare times. This reminds me a little of Google’s workplace culture where employees are allowed to work on their own projects during a certain allotted time period. Anyway, more about this black beauty after jump…
One of the key upgrades for this concept GT-S is it’s engine. If you recall, during the production of the Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, the producers had to turbo their 350Z cars because in stock from it did not have enough power to maintain drifts properly. Well, if they were using the 350Z GT-S, that wouldn’t be necessary anymore. The VQ35DE under the 350Z’s hood is now force inducted with a Novidem supercharger, bringing power up from 300ps to 382ps. Torque goes up from 353Nm to nice 425Nm. This lets the car do the 0-100km/h dash in only 4.8 seconds, that’s a whole second faster than the stock version’s 5.8 second time.
The car also gets an upgraded exhaust system, a Strosek bodykit, as well as wheel and tyre upgrades. Suspension was re-engineered by the team together with Bilstein. The car was built in a way that was pretty much cost effective, allowing easy productionizing of the concept model. This configuration could very likely be offered as a production tune-up kit. The wind-tunnel tested, German-designed Strosek bodykit has aerodynamic properties, increasing downforce on the front and rear. The upgraded exhaust system has a bypass valve that activates at a pre-determined engine speed, giving a nicer exhaust note.
For the moment, the Nissan 350Z GT-S remains a concept car, but it could very well make it into production as a special edition or something along those lines sometime in the future.

Nice car… love those LED tail lights.

But… isn’t that stock on all 350Zs’? Or maybe LED tail lights do not come stock in Malaysia?

LED tail lights reminds me of the cartoon Batmobile…. Holy Lights,Batman…!!!

its a good car but nissan needs the new skyline. this one is getting old already even though a turbo version could breath some life back into it.

nice concept… but no more NISMO modifications anymore? i tot NISSAN cars are all modified in NISMO platforms… btw, i don like the new rear look coz of the number plate located at a lower bumper section… looks kinda terrible!

The S-tune is very much better than this ones
August 26, 2006 @ 5:10 pm
one of my dreamcar…standard version cost around 500k here…i think this will b much xpensive…
August 26, 2006 @ 11:58 pm
You know, the Nissan Skyline GT-S34 was supercharged, but then the power was just WEAK… Even the standard GT-R34 was better than the charged one…
I doubt this 350z GT-S though, cause seriously, the rear looks ugly, plus it’s got a nose block up front…
No offence Nissan, I’m still a great fan of your 2007 Nissan Skyline GT-R35, just comments from me.
