Description
When Chris Forsberg, a self-taught three-time Formula Drift World Champion, teamed up with Broken Motorsports to create a modern-day tribute to the 1971 East African Safari Rally overall winning Datsun 240Z, the result was something truly special. Forsberg Racing’s Nissan 'SafariZ' 370Z features aesthetics that pay homage to the original rally car – it even includes some of the original sponsor decals. While this project car is rally ready and could compete at any time, it was purposefully built to output 215 horsepower because the excess horsepower would leave it just fighting for traction in the dirt. What it might lack in raw horsepower, however, it more than makes up for in functionality and aesthetics with styling cues that harken back to that 1970s rally monster for the ultimate dose of nostalgia.
