This is a '90 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. Designed by Isao Sono and Toshio Yamashita and internally designated the Z32, the second generation 300ZX was an entirely new design compared to the previous generation 300ZX. Introduced in 1989 and featuring the same 3.0L VG30 V6 as the previous generation, the Z31, the Z32 featured a rounder profile and fewer hard edges and added DOHC and N-VCT to the V6. The Twin Turbo version of the 300ZX featured dual Garrett AiResearch turbochargers and dual intercoolers, making the car produce 300 BHP. Z32s were available in three configurations: targa top, convertible and Slicktop (hardtop), with most available in targa top configuration.
Notably, the Z32's design was one of the first production cars to be designed using CAD software; Nissan used the Cray-2 supercomputer to design the Z32 using CAD software. 2+2 versions were also available featuring a rear bench seat, identifiable by the fuel door being placed further back. Twin Turbo models feature adjustable dual-mode suspension and the Super HICAS four-wheel steering. Over its production run the car underwent a number of changes. Production ended in 2000 with 164,170 produced, the vast majority of cars exported.
Now this casting was designed by Dima Shakhmatov and introduced in 2019 in the Nissan sub-series of the mainline. This casting has seen eight known releases, the last in a 6-Pack. A ninth release is on the way.
