The last word in sports cars returns with the Nissan Z.
This all-new, contemporary sports car was created with a healthy
amount of "Z DNA" - the combination of passion, performance,
practicality and value that identifies all Z cars since the original 1970 240Z.
The new Nissan Z's performance will also live up to Z standards, with a
260-plus horsepower V6 and 0 to 60 mph times of less than 6.0 seconds.
The Z is scheduled to go on sale in mid-2002 as a 2003 model, with a base
price of under $30,000.
