Nissan registers ‘Z Warrior’ trademark in Australia
The off-road sports car segment currently joined by the Porsche 911 Dakar and the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, may soon be enlivened by another newcomer, this time from the Land of the Rising Sun.
According to reports, Nissan has registered the trademark ‘Z Warrior’ with the IP Australia office, indicating the emergence of a Z sports car specifically designed to conquer off-road terrain.
Nissan had previously showcased an intriguing Safari Rally Z Tribute concept, inspired by the Datsun 240Z vehicle that won the 1971 East African Safary Rally.
The new generation Nissan Z has been equipped with a 2-inch higher KW Safari suspension, as well as prototype Nismo Safari 17-inch rims wrapped in Yokohama Geolander M/T G003 tires. Additional lighting units on the hood, bumper, and A-pillars further enhance the appearance of a true rally vehicle.
The original engine unit has also been tuned, with the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine being paired with several Nismo components, including dual clutches, a flywheel, heat exchanger unit, coolant tank, cold air intake system, carbon fiber wire harness protector, and a cat-back exhaust system.
It’s worth noting that Nissan Australia also offers the Warrior trim for models such as Navara and Patrol, both of which come equipped with body kits and accessories specifically designed to conquer various terrains across the globe.
