Nissan 350Z The Run Video

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.

    City looked like Prague, in Czech republic.

    Why was the driver so hesitant on the gas pedal?

    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.
