Chronology
PredecessorNissan 300ZX (Z31)
Nissan 300ZX second generation or the Z32 was a whole new rebuild of the ZX. The stock Z32 has 222 horsepower but can hits even higher. The Z32 was developed by a new designer named Isao Sono and Toshio Yamashita.
The Z32 was discontinued in 1996 due to sales. The price of the twin turbo was $45,000 that year, too high for many consumers and far from the US $27,000 price it had started with.Production of the Z32 continued in Japan until 1999 through a major redesign in 1998, in naturally aspirated 2-seater, 2 2 seater, and "R" versions, which were 2 2 twin turbo models.
