The seller offers for sale this 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (Z32), a one-owner vehicle originally delivered in Sweden. With only 115,000 verified kilometers on the odometer, this car stands out for its originality and preservation. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 engine (VG30DETT), twin turbocharged, delivering an estimated 300 horsepower and 384 Nm of torque, managed by a manual gearbox. Power delivery is smooth and refined, with a 0-100 km/h time of around 5 seconds, impressive even by modern standards.
This model features the advanced Super-HICAS system, a four-wheel steering technology designed to improve cornering dynamics. The Z32 platform also introduced innovations such as a more rigid chassis, electronically adjustable suspension in some trims, and a sleek, low-slung body design that marked a distinct departure from the angular styling of the Z31.
Paintwork is factory-original and well preserved, with no reported need for touch-ups or bodywork.
The interior remains untouched and is presented in original condition, showing only light signs of age. Upholstery, dash, and trim pieces are intact, reflecting consistent care. No visible signs of wear, damage, or aftermarket modifications are noted.
Mechanically, the car is said to be in good condition with no current needs. Lights and indicators function, and the car holds a valid inspection certificate.
The Nissan 300ZX (Z32) marked a significant turning point in the Z-car lineage. Launched in 1989, the Z32 was a technologically advanced machine, built to rival both Japanese and European performance benchmarks. Its twin-turbocharged engine and available features like four-wheel steering and electronically adjustable dampers placed it in direct competition with sports cars well above its price point.
In Japan and North America, the car quickly became an icon of 1990s performance culture, admired for its balance of power and control. The Z32 was developed with a strong emphasis on driver involvement and driving dynamics. Its low, wide stance and cab-forward design gave it a futuristic appearance, while its performance figures backed up the aggressive styling.
The Z32 was also successful in motorsports, particularly in IMSA racing in the U.S., where it competed under the Nissan Performance banner and won multiple championships. It played a key role in defining Nissan’s image as a builder of reliable yet thrilling sports cars during the 1990s.
While earlier generations of Z-cars focused more on simple mechanical fun, the 300ZX introduced a more refined and complex approach to performance. The Z32 was built at a time when Japanese manufacturers were pushing the limits of what was possible with road cars, often without concern for profitability. This ethos makes the Twin Turbo Z32 particularly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts today.
