Default Wildest-ever Z-car Is Ready To Roar

I know the Type E has been posted before but here's an article from Autoexpress in the UK.

Wildest-ever Z-car Is Ready To Roar

Here's a red-hot Z! Nissan has unveiled a limited-edition 350Z in Japan, and our sources say that a souped-up version of the already sporty coupé could come here.

The Type E two-seater features a range of body modifications to give it an even more purposeful appearance. It's based on the standard S, and has the same 240bhp V6 engine and six-speed manual gearbox. But that's where the similarities end; a chunkier front bumper complete with huge cooling ducts gives the nose a more aggressive stance. The chin spoiler extends beneath the number plate and increases the car's length by 18cm. There is similar treatment at the rear, with a racing-style bumper and air ducts. Uprated brakes and stiffer suspension complete the package, hinting that a hardcore performance 350Z could well be on its way to Europe.

Nissan is tight-lipped about expanding the range in the UK, but the styling modifications at least are likely to be offered either as aftermarket options or on a limited production model similar to the Type E.

Nope, they're fake. Nissan calles em "side fillers" or something to that effect...


And by the way, this has got to be the millionth time this car has been reposted...
