First look: Nissan gets wild with 350Z GT-S

NISSAN showed a one-off (for now) GT-S version of its 350Z coupe at last weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK.

A product of development engineers from Nissan’s British-based European technical centre, the ST-S features a Novidem supercharger bolted on to the 3.5-litre V6 which increases power/torque from 221kW/363Nm to 281kW/425Nm.

The suspension has been retuned and wider wheels and tyres added, while the all-black exterior gains a wind tunnel-tested body/aero kit from German firm Strosek.

An NVH pack is also included, prompting claims of a more civilised car than the standard Z.
