Forsberg Racing, best known for its Formula Drift exploits, will be entering this Nismo GT-Z in Gridlife GLGT competition in 2026.

The car itself started out as a Nissan Z Nismo. However, Forsberg Racing incorporated performance parts from the Nismo catalog. That includes its suspension, exhaust and other parts. Nissan hopes this highlights how a “scintillating sports car can be accessibly upgraded into a highly competitive racer,” as Nissan said.

The Nismo GT-Z will make an appearance at the SEMA Show, along with other modified rides, in the Nissan booth, No. 21521, November 4-7.

The Z looks pretty slick in racing guise.

He and his team consistently build awesome Nissans, and as a somewhat "Nissan Enthusiast" I enjoy seeing what they bring to the track and to SEMA.

I'm still wonder what "scintillating sports car" they are referring to, it sure isn't the current Z from what I've seen.

I like to imagine midlife crisis Austin someday having a current-gen Z as his latest questionable drift car.  wink

In reply to Colin Wood :

I wouldn't be surprised! I could also see me still driving my 350Z in 20-30 years 🤣

Chris is also one of the nicest people in the paddock, too.
