Default Power House Amuse Nismo 380 RS. The ultimate Z33 hands down

I read an article about this car in Modified magazine this month and was totally impressed. It is the ultimate version of the ultimate Z33. I couldnt find a lot on the car but this is what I can find with some nice pictures. ENJOY!!

“Super Leggera amuse nismo 380″ Vehicle Overview
Nismo Fairlady Z is limited KONPURITOKA “Fairlady Z Version NISMO Type 380RS” based on the Power House is further amuse lighter, and change the exterior model.
“Super Leggera (ultralight)” represented by naming the street, a car-based vehicle weight is 1370 kg from 140 kg lighter. The diet of most of the body panels of carbon and titanium exhaust system parts such as method of achieving it. In particular carbon panel roof at the top of the effect is overwhelming, -12 kg more than the number of low center of gravity plays a big role.
Exterior, wide fender of a powerful addition to DAUNFOSUBARANSU improve cooling performance and effectiveness, such as food for thought. Boil down to the front bumper shape in the area is 20% more effective cooling, the downforce to acquire RIADIFYUZA backward extended by 70 mm. Up fuel and engine compression ratio is controlled by the review to achieve 386 ps. Body units and 1.3 tons coupled with the dramatic performance show.

Kazunori Yamauchi comment on the selection originally amuse the monster machine up unnecessarily power than a light engine body of a combination of easy-to-use, comprehensive strength has been to make a fast car tuner.




I have to give amuse respect for pulling 400 hp out of a normally aspirated 3.8 liter motor . The compression ratio on this motor is stratospheric

Looks to have great performance but even BBS wheels can't save it from looking the way it does. Must be a JDM thing!

400 hp from a NA 3.8 liter motor deserves respect. The aero parts are fully functional. The opening in the fender behind the front fender is to reduce drag, wing is for massive down force and the hood venting is to keep engine temps lower. This car is the last car that Tanabe built before he died a few years ago. For true JDM fanatics this car is a historical beast. Its the ultimate version of the ultimate Z33 only offered in Japan .I will admit the supperleggerra tag is not my flavor but the rest is JDM art

I'm sort of ok with the front but the rear is no good IMO. If it's all truly functional then whatever I guess, but that rear is still a bit much for me...

Its a 380RS. and its been fitted with a carbon fiber roof, hood, rear hatch, and doors. This thing has 400 hp and weighs in at around 3000 lbs ( 300lbs less than a standard z33). Its a performer. I would love to hear the titanium exhaust roar and see this beast on the track.
