The 1994 NISMO 270R is a limited production performance version of the Nissan Silvia S14 built by Nissan Motorsport. It was created to showcase NISMO’s tuning capabilities and was sold to customers as a street legal performance car rather than a race only vehicle.
The 270R used a turbocharged 2.0 liter SR20DET engine tuned to produce about 270 horsepower, which is where the name came from. Power was sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, and the car received upgraded suspension, brakes, and a limited-slip differential for better handling.
Only 30 examples were produced, and all were finished in Super Black. Each car featured a unique NISMO body kit, a vented hood for improved cooling, and 270R graphics along the sides.
The Ferrari Testarossa is a high performance sports car produced by Ferrari from 1984 through 1991, with updated versions continuing as the 512 TR and F512 M until 1996. Designed by Pininfarina, it became instantly recognizable for its wide body and large side strakes that directed air to side mounted radiators and helped solve earlier cooling problems.
Power came from a 4.9 liter flat twelve engine producing about 390 horsepower. The car could reach 60 mph in just over five seconds and had a top speed near 180 mph, while offering a more comfortable interior and better visibility than many rival supercars of the era.
The Testarossa became a major pop culture symbol of the 1980s. It gained widespread attention through appearances in Miami Vice and the arcade racing game OutRun.
2026 is the 10th anniversary of the Car Culture series, which brings changes to the chase cars. They are completely different vehicles, rather than just recolors of cars in the sets.
