Nissan has unbleached a new version of the widely popular 350Z which is called the Nismo 380RS, wonder where the Nismo name comes from? Well Nismo is simply Nissan Motorsport department and can be compared to Opel/Vauxhall OPC, Mercedes Brabus and various other auto maker performance departments.
As you can see in the video the Nismo 380RS is more aggressively styled then the 350Z and have a better engine sound compared to the 350Z, but is the 380RS any good? We will have to disappoint you even though it looks great the performance figures are similar to the ones of the regular 350Z.

actually according to Edmonds this is not a 380RS, but rather a Nismo tuned 350Z. The 380RS is suited with a 400HP 3.8ltr engine and not a 3.5ltr 350Z engine. This report is crap IMO as the Nismo Tuned 350 was not engineered to be more powerful then the original but more efficient. The Added power just came with the better parts. Whats most impressive about the Nismo is the chassis and handling, not power.
