In this episode of Larry Chen's YouTube channel, we are treated to a magnificent sight - a tribute car for the 23 SEMA show. And what a tribute it is! This car is a replica of the legendary 240Z that tore through the Safari rally in 1971. The attention to detail is simply staggering. From the ride height to the stance, every aspect has been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the original.

But it's not just about looks. This car is built to perform. With custom mounts for driving lights, a bash guard, and mud flaps, it's ready to take on any terrain. The suspension has been modified with KW struts and shocks, Nismo suspension components, and a raised ride height, making it capable of tackling the toughest off-road challenges.

And let's not forget about the wheels. The team went all out, working with their trusted wheel supplier to create a set specifically for this car. The 17x7.5 wheels are paired with beefy Yokohama mud terrains, giving it the perfect combination of style and functionality. And with a squared wheel and tire setup, this car means business.

Under the hood, the car boasts a VR30 DDTT engine with Nismo touches. With over 450 horsepower on tap, it's a force to be reckoned with. And the manual transmission and rear-wheel drive setup ensure that the driver is fully engaged in the driving experience.

Overall, this tribute car is a true testament to Nissan's racing heritage. It's a stunning piece of automotive art that pays homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of what a modern car can do. And with the possibility of a kit being made available to the public, we may soon see more Safari cars hitting the roads. It's an exciting time for car enthusiasts, and this video gives us a glimpse into the incredible world of automotive craftsmanship.
