Default 350Z Ad in Sept 2002 issue of Car

If anyone wants to follow up and check to see if this is real or not...

Page 197 of Sept 2002 issue of Car has the following ad:

"The New Nissan 350Z

-3.5 litre Twin Turbo 350 BHP + or Normally Aspirated 280 BHP
-6 speed manual / 5 speed automatic
-0-60 mph 4.5 seconds
-Max speed 180 mph
-From $25,000 (British Pounds)
-Fully uK compliant
-Due for UK launch next year
-Available exclusively through Intercar International now

Call or fax for the latest information on this exciting new sports car. Ask for Simon Lerner.

Intercar International Limited

Tel: 020 8203 3399
FAX: 020 8203 1450"


Sounds fishy to me, but you never know...

25 days and counting (Sept 12+/-)...

Is that an official NISSAN ad? I thought the Turbo version was just a rumor... and was possibly coming out... Man 350bhp... that is krazie... with a 4.5 0-60 time... woo hoo... but is that for real?

I seriously doubt the car is coming stock like that but perhaps they are planning to pre-install a NISMO kit and sell a "NISMO" car.

It is NOT a Nissan ad. It is mixed in with the rest of the ads at the back.

If the turbo Z is true, I'll be the first to sell my Spec-V and jump in line!

My Spec-V will be worth $9800 in two years.

I wonder how much that is going to cost. I wonder how much my '03 350Z Touring 6sp will be worth in 2 years!!

There was a small bit of info in the Sept. Road and track addressing the engine to be used in the next generation skyline GTR, a twin turbo VQ35 is a consideration. I am quite confident they will produce this motor for use in the Z and possibly the G35. When they will do it is the big question.
