Supporting upgrades include an A’PEXi Power Intake system and a titanium cat-back exhaust, which improve airflow and enhance the engine’s sound without compromising reliability. Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission and Nissan’s advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, providing exceptional grip and balance in a variety of driving conditions. The addition of an aftermarket coilover suspension improves handling and ride control, making the car feel more precise and responsive.
