The hand built, full Pro Class dragster is the only Japanese engined car competing against more traditional American V8 machinery in mainstream drag racing in Europe this year.

The lovingly prepared Project Zed is powered by a Nissan 350Z 3.5-litre V6 engine producing nearly 1,900bhp.
According to Bradshaw,"we are all very excited by its potential. It really is a car that is capable of setting records around the world and just shows what a Nissan engine is capable of producing."

Project Zed is the first ever Pro Class 350Z to be seen in Europe and has been eagerly awaited by drag fans. It's no surprise to find that predicted acceleration times are breath-taking. Not only is 0-60mph expected to take only 1.2 seconds, but 0-168mph will arrive in just 4.1 seconds. Project Zed is expected to peak 215mpg in just 6.6 seconds.

The team are no strangers to success having set the fastest quarter mile time in the world for a Nissan Skyline (7.68 seconds @ 177mph) with their other car, Project GTST, which is a 1997 Nissan Skyline RWD GTST. Producing over 1,150bhp at the wheels, the car holds the record for the fastest Japanese car in Europe for 2008.
