Nissan 350Z Dragster
The first ever Pro Class 350Z to be seen in Europe will participate at the FIA European Finals at the Santa Pod Raceway in the UK. A Nissan 350Z 3.5-litre V6 engine producing almost 1,900 horsepower powers the Project Zed dragster. Owner and driver, John Bradshaw, said that he's very excited about the potential and that it's a car capable of breaking global records, which would show what a Nissan engine is capable of. The hand-built dragster, which will be the only Japanese-engined car to compete in Mainstream drag racing at this year's Santa Pod, can accelerate from 0 to 60mph (96km/h) in 1.2 seconds while 0-168mph (270km/h) comes after only 4.1 seconds and 0-215mph (346km/h) in just 6.6 seconds. Nissan, which is supporting the Project Zed dragster, will have a stand at the show displaying its latest road-going sports cars, the GT-R and 370Z. The Santa Pod Raceway is expected to run from September 10-13, 2009.
