Doha: Honouring the legacy of the Z sportscar, Nissan looks in the rearview mirror to reflect on five limited-edition models that have embellished the Z’s five-decade legacy. Pushing the boundaries of innovation and engineering, the Nissan Z -built for enthusiasts by enthusiasts - is a global top-selling sports car with more than 1.8 million units sold to date. 

Thierry Sabbagh, President Nissan Saudi Arabia, INFINITI Middle East and Managing Director at Nissan Middle East said: “From its global success in the motorsport’s realm, to its strong following and popularity in the Middle East, the Nissan Z is an important model in our line-up and a testament to our brand promise, Innovation that Excites. Holding a Guinness World Record title for the longest twin-vehicle drift in the UAE, the Nissan Z is popular amongst automotive enthusiasts in the region, and we look forward to continue catering to this unique demographic with the global rollout of the new Z”. 

Nassim Mourani, General Manager – Automotive Group, at Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Qatar said: “With its huge fan base, outstanding design, and impressive performance we at Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana, the exclusive agent of Nissan in Qatar, look forward to bringing our valued customers the all-new Nissan Z. This legendary sportscar has become an icon for the brand and has brought joy to many customers. We are delighted to honor the success of the Nissan Z sportscar and pay homage to the limited-edition vehicles that have shaped its evolution”. 

Since its introduction in 1969, the Nissan Z has differentiated the brand and helped write a unique story, supported by five limited-edition models that celebrate key milestones in the model’s illustrious history: 1980 Datsun 280ZX, 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo, 2005 Nissan 350Z, 2010 Nissan 370Z, and 2020 Nissan 370Z. 

As part of the global rollout of the new Nissan Z, the iconic sportscar is set to be launched in Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania (AMIEO) markets later this year.
