CarWow loves staging car battles and they’ve brought together every generation of the Nissan GT-R—R32, R33, R34, and R35—for a celebration of Japanese engineering. Each car has been modified to produce 1,000 horsepower so this isn’t about stock performance, it’s about the potential of these iconic cars.
A Nissan 350Z with a Toyota GT86 front end is a car enthusiast’s fantasy come true. But someone in Japan built this oddity and it’s on Yahoo! Auctions. This is a head spinning mashup of two iconic sports cars into something that turns heads everywhere it goes.

Valentin Komkov, a Prague-based CG artist, has crafted a vision that’s hard to ignore. His Nissan 500SX concept, a modern reimagining of the beloved 180SX (known as the 240SX in the US), blends retro charm with a futuristic edge. This digital coupe isn’t just a nostalgic nod—it’s a bold statement about what a Japanese performance car could be in 2025. While it exists only in pixels, the 500SX demands attention, stirring a longing for a sports car Nissan might never build but absolutely should.
It’s not everyday that you see a 1995 Nissan 240SX on the road, much less one that has been customized as heavily as this one. More specifically, it was given a complete makeover by SoundCrafters in South Daytona, Florida, who went as far as replacing its steering wheel with a giant speaker.
This heavily modified Nissan 350Z attempted to combine the best elements from a Maserati Gran Turismo and a Porsche 911. Was it successful? Well, it does look a lot better than most replicas and / or kit cars.
