Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo – 1990 PPG Pace Car
Unlike production cars, this 300ZX was Twin Turbo AND Convertible.
History
While the 300 HP rated twin turbo engine was only available on the 300ZX coupe, leaving the convertible models with only the 222 HP naturally aspirated engine, this one has the best of both worlds. The car started life as a PPG Pace Car in factory silver paint and was given a makeover wit PPG’s high chroma colors – Sky Blue and Cloud Blue – and accented with high intensity Sun Orange.
Specifications
Exact specifications are unknown, but here’s a walk around video to see the modifications for yourself:
