[size=+0]On 13 January at Autosport International, Birmingham, Nissan will unveil a limited production, 300PS edition of its 350Z coupe in association with Sony PlayStation's 'Gran Turismo 4.[/size]


Only 176 of these machines will be available in the UK at a price Nissan will announce at the show and pre-orders will be taken from February 1st at the traditional time of 3:50pm.​

The GT4 is the zippiest 350Z Nissan has yet sold in the UK. The award-winning, 3.5-litre V6 motor gets revised pistons and camshaft as well as electronic exhaust valve timing control. This helps produce another 20PS to give 300PS developed at 6400 rpm. Top speed remains a limited 155 mph but at 5.8 seconds, the GT4 is even quicker to 62 mph than standard.

All 176 GT4s run on a new design of lacquered, five-spoke, 18" alloy wheel, not available on the standard Z. Nor will the special, high-luminance, Ultra Yellow paint job that covers 76 of the UK's allocation of GT4s. The remaining 100 will be painted in stark Kuro Black.

Inside, the interior mirrors that of the 350Z GT Pack with two black leathered, electrically adjustable and heated seats as well as a, 240 watt BOSE tuned stereo and 6 CD in-dash changer. Each UK supplied GT4 will have a numbered, interior mounted plaque and in the boot, owners will find a gift box from Nissan containing a Sony PS2 and GT4 game.

The only time the GT4 Edition 350z will be shown in the UK, before deliveries start in March is at Autosport International in what will be its European debut. As well as seeing the car on Nissan's stand, visitors will get a preview of the game and a chance for a virtual reality drive of the car. 👍

Gran turismo seems too have become more than a game, seriously cool there making a car dedicated too GT4
 
Ill buy one if it comes with GT4 in the glove box who cares how much over MSRP!! 👍 👍 :) :)
 
I see delays coming. That's pretty cool, even though by the time gran turismo 4 hits the US, we'll be driving little spaceships around.

That's only in Europe, why not America :( ?
 
old news
thats the 35th anniversary 350Z

annouced like a few months ago
 
Birmingham eh!......I live there! :)
 
Lets hope its faster than the previous Z cars, anyone seen Jeremy Clarksons Hot Metal DVD Drag Race? 350Z Stock was beaten by 2 generations of 300ZX and was nearly beaten by a 70's Datsun 240Z.
 
Strange we are getting the same car in the US only it is commemorating the Z's 35th anniversary here and it is the same picture. (Car and Driver, Dec. 04, pg. 35)
 
:lol: this is old as hell man! I rember hearing about this at least in August.
 
Maybe you can plug in the PS2 Analog Controller and steer with it!!! lol
 
It's new to the UK and Europe, but yes it's exactly the same as the 35th Anniversary Z. The Z badge doesn't have the same kind of kudos over here as it does in the States, so they've added the Gran Turismo tag instead...

Everyone from Birmingham is crazy, they all talk funny.

To be honest I don't like the wheels on that 350Z, I kinda prefer the standard versions ones.
