Nissan Z Concept 2001

[All Your Base]

Why I Want This in GT: The 2001 Z Concept only appeared in Gran Turismo 3, and we need it back in the Gran Turismo series. Besides, we can't have the LM edition without the road car!

From Wikipedia: On January 8, 2001, Nissan introduced the Z Concept. Much like the previous Z concept, it debuted at the North American International Auto Show and was painted a bright orange. The squat, long-hood/short-deck styling resulted from a competition between Nissan's Japanese, European, and American design studios, with the La Jolla, California studio's design being chosen in March 2000. The product planners hoped to avoid the price problems that plagued the last few years of the 300ZX with a target MSRP of $30,000 while using the Porsche Boxster as a benchmark

This was my favourite car in GT 2002 Concept and GT3!
Please yes! 👍

We have 30 versions of this car already, as well as a premium version.

There is no point to putting the concept version of a car that has already been replaced in the game.

Not to shoot down your suggestion, but having the Z Concept seems redundant, considering all the variations of the production 350Z that we have in the later installments. The Z Concept's specs in GT3 are nearly identical to the base Z33 in GT4 (Not sure how much the Concept weighs in reality, but I know GT4's base model is too light). There's a reason this car didn't make the jump past GT3. I'd be fine with it being in the game, but I don't see why it would need to be. If I can't "Dislike" a suggestion, can I "Neutral" it?

Yes, but this is not like all of those other 350Z wich are in the game and all look the same. You can see some distictions in this one, it probably sounds diferent and it has diferent specs aswell.

Is 580HP the car's real horsepower?

I'm pretty sure that this car didn't 580 HP, as it had 280 HP in GT3. That would be consistent with the production car, which came the very next year.

Yeah. 580 is much closer to the output of the LM Edition that debuted in GT4, which makes 533 according to GTVault, who also says the concept in GT3 can be powered up to 601. Makes me wish they'd being back racing bodies again.
