Need for Speed: SHIFT – Nissan 350Z (Z33) (2006) Test Drive @ Nordschleife

Need for Speed: Shift is the thirteenth installment and second reboot of the racing video game franchise Need for Speed.

In the new franchising model for the series adopted by EA, Shift takes its place focusing on simulation/arcade racing rather than the arcade racing of previous titles in the series.

Nordschleife

The Green Hell Legend

Since its construction (1925 - 1927), the Nordschleife has enjoyed a reputation as a terrifying and merciless route through the Eifel forests. An English journalist who visited the Nordschleife during the opening race on 18 June 1927 even concluded “that it seemed as if a reeling, drunken giant had been sent out to determine the route”. The Formula 1 pilot Sir John Young Jackie Stewart – after all a three-time world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973 – was so impressed by the circuit that he gave it the name which it will probably never lose: Green Hell (Grüne Hölle).

Racing and winning on the Nordschleife has always been very special for racing drivers, because the track is one of the most demanding in the world. Tricky corners, treacherous crests, steep inclines and gradients and constantly changing road surfaces demand great skill from the driver and put vehicles to a hard test.
The best-known event today is the ADAC TOTAL 24-hour race, which is held on both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit and which for four days transforms the entire circuit into a huge spectacle. Up to 800 amateurs and professionals in up to 200 cars take part in this race.

Nissan is a large Japanese automobile manufacturer founded in 1933 by Masujiro Hashimoto, Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama, Meitaro Takeuchi, and Yoshisuke Aikawa. The car brand has a reputation of building high-performance tuner cars such as the 240SX and the GT-R in the worldwide tuning scene.
However, Nissan also has a rather conservative image, since most Nissan models are economy cars plus the fact that it is recently known for its emphasis on electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf.
The 2006 Nissan 350Z is a facelifted variant of the first model from 2003 by Nissan.

It was introduced in September 2005 with several exterior changes such as new lights, a new front bumper and 18" five-spoke alloy wheels. Its power output was increased to 306 bhp thanks to a higher engine rev range of 6,400 rpm.

Production of the 2006 350Z only lasted until 2007, when the car received another facelift. In 2009, the 350Z was replaced by the Nissan 370Z.
