Overview
The ZR350 is GTA's Nissan Z — specifically the 350Z and 370Z generations that became staples of the tuner scene. In GTA Online's Los Santos Tuners update, the ZR350 arrived as a lightweight, affordable drift machine that quickly became one of the most popular cars for customization. The Nissan Z has always been about accessible performance — not the fastest, not the most expensive, but impossibly fun and endlessly modifiable. In GTA 6, it should be the gateway drug to car culture.
QUICK SPECS
History in GTA
The Annis ZR350 debuted in GTA San Andreas (2004) as a 350Z-inspired sports car, one of the best handling vehicles in the game. After a long absence, it returned in GTA Online's Los Santos Tuners (2021) update and immediately became a customization favorite. The Z-car lineage stretches back to the Datsun 240Z, and GTA has honored various generations over the years. The ZR350 specifically captures the 350Z/370Z era — the most popular generation for tuning and drifting.
The ZR350 in GTA 6
The GTA 6 ZR350 could draw from either the classic 350Z or the new Nissan Z (RZ34) — or potentially offer both as variants. Expect the signature long hood, short deck proportions, the flowing fender lines, and the rounded taillights that define the Z-car silhouette. The naturally aspirated V6 should deliver a raspy, high-revving soundtrack that's distinctly different from turbocharged competitors. As one of the more affordable performance cars, it should be an early-game favorite.
Performance & Handling
The ZR350 sits in the lower-to-mid range of the Sports class by raw speed, but its lightweight construction and responsive handling make it one of the most enjoyable cars to drive. The front-engine, RWD layout is ideal for drifting, and the predictable power delivery makes it perfect for learning advanced driving techniques. It won't win drag races against the Elegy or Calico, but on a technical course where driver skill matters more than raw speed, it punches above its weight.
Where to Find It
The ZR350 should be one of the easiest performance cars to find in GTA 6. Expect it in regular traffic, near car meets, in apartment complex parking lots, and at affordable dealerships. Its accessible price point makes it a great first performance car.
Customization
The 350Z/370Z community is one of the most active tuner scenes in real life, and the ZR350 should reflect that with massive customization options. Expect: Rocket Bunny and Pandem wide-body kits, hood-exit exhaust options, front-mount intercooler (turbo swap), massive rear wings and ducktails, drift angle kits, Nismo-inspired aero, classic JDM wheels (TE37, LMGT4), and the ability to transform it from a stock daily driver to a competition drift car.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can you turbo swap the ZR350?

Is the ZR350 or Jester RR better?
The Jester RR (Supra) is faster and more powerful, but the ZR350 (350Z) is cheaper, lighter, and arguably more fun for casual driving and drifting. The ZR350 is the better value; the Jester RR is the better outright performer.
