The turbo version of the 1990 Nissan 300 ZX was released late in the model year. It was identical to the other trims in terms of features and appearance, but it had a 3.0-liter, 300 horsepower V6 engine.

Drivers love their 300ZX turbos. They say they love how fast it goes, the classic Z styling, the solid construction, and reliability. The car is very popular for modifications, with many owners adding after market parts that increase the horsepower even more. Many driver do wish for more appropriate tires, and some have found that the brakes are not strong enough.
