Nissan has prepared something for everyone at the 2021 SEMA show.
At this time of the year, automakers will showcase their craziest and most bizarre concepts for the SEMA aftermarket. Nissan is launching some super cool cars, but the headlines are on opposite ends of the spectrum. One is a 240Z sports car called DocZ for the rally, and the other is a Frontier pickup truck ready to go ashore.
It was revealed on Thursday that the two cars are part of the six-car lineup that will go to Las Vegas this year to participate in SEMA. In the roadshow, DocZ is really the star in our eyes, it even has some connection with "Fast and Furious". Taking the Datsun 240Z's victory in the East Africa Safari Rally in 1971 as a starting point, actor and producer Sung Kang set out to recreate this iconic car. Equipped with a tribute uniform and a 2.8-liter L24 engine, you will never guess that this particular car was in poor condition. According to Nissan, this example requires a lot of love and rust repair to start. Participants will see this metal car next to the 2023 Nissan Z.
On the Project Overland Frontier pickup, it is based on a brand new truck, equipped with a lot of equipment to handle the toughest elements. The kit includes many Nismo performance components, including an off-road performance suspension kit and a two-inch lift, new shock absorbers and Nismo wheels wrapped in Maxxis Razr tires. On the top of the truck, there is a new roof rack with a pair of 83-liter suitcases from Roam Adventure Co., which can carry anything you need. At the back, there is a bed drawer system from TruckVault and an ARB Elements refrigerator. Do you need some compressed air? ARB also includes a compressor.
In addition to these two models, Nissan will also exhibit the Project Overland Pathfinder SUV, the Altima-based "Altimaniac" drift car, and the Frontier pickup used in this year's Rebelle Rally. SEMA started on November 2 and lasted until November 5.
