Default 350Z Gran Turismo Limited Edition

I guess Nissan will introduce 350Z Gran Turismo Limited Edition to Europe begining of next year.

It looks just like the 35th Anniversary model. Even the horse power is same, 300hp. I guess it's a same car but different name for US and EU.


You can see the GT limited version in the middle of this video clip.

I feel cheated, my Z did not come with driving shoes or a T-shirt. Oh well, I guess I should have waited 2 more years for the 2005 35th edition model and imported it from overseas.

Too bad the Z does not come with a NISMO edition worthy of real enchancements like the M does for BMW.

Maybe the Nissan guys should work out a deal with companies like APS, throw in a TT, exhaust, plenum, then a brake kit, and at least NISMO suspension with sways. Now, that would be a special addition.

This edition just does not seem enough of an enchancement to pull customers into the show room if they were considering another sportscar.

I know guys, no need to bring me back to reality, I know I am just dreaming.

Yeah I agree with you zland.

BTW, the guy who is talking in the video clip is the producer of the game Gran Turismo series and he took the 3rd vin# of 350z(Fairlady Z).
Also he actually designed the Nismo JDM aeroparts for 350Z. =)

Related link. A couple more 350Z shots from the game, if they haven't been posted. They are yellow this time. One more on the next page of a SS track one being washed in the game too.

These are cars in Gran Turismo, Nissan is not releasing anything in this video, the tshirt and shoes come with a very limited edition (i think 300 copies or so) of the game. The "Gran Turismo Limited Edition" is a version of the car in the game.

Available 1/05 will be the Grand Touring Roadster-Brembo's, VDC, TCS,limited slip,6spd(auto option),18" wheels,Bose and leather. Has the 287hp but I think the added 14lbs of torque vs the 300hp will make it more fun! Let me know if I can get one for someone. Clay clay@universitynissan.com

Yes they are, Pat D.

Kazunori Yamauchi(GT Producer) said at the interview(not on the video) that Nissan will release 700 of GT Limited 350z in Europe next year.

The shoes and t-shirts thing is not coming with z.. It's just a special package with the game.

I was mainly adressing the gt4 special edition shoes/shirt, since it seemed there was confusion that it was a Z item rather than a gt4 item. Thats cool though, I had not heard about the GT Limited.
