The gist

Story
  • Nissan will show three special builds at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
  • The Sentra Spec-V concept uses a 2.0-litre turbo engine rated at 295bhp, per Autox.
  • Project NAT2 is a track-only Z built to SCCA Touring 2 rules, with a roll cage.

What's new

Nissan is taking three special cars to the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The lineup includes a modern Sentra Spec-V concept, a racing Nissan Z called Project NAT2 and a modified Datsun S30 Z. The Sentra concept uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine that Autox puts at 295bhp. Road & Track and Car and Driver describe it as making about 300 horsepower. The car has a six-speed manual gearbox, Brembo brakes from the GT-R and NISMO suspension. Project NAT2 was built by the Nissan Acceleration Team to meet SCCA Touring 2 rules, with a stripped cabin and a roll cage.

Why it matters

For Indian enthusiasts, these are show cars rather than products. Nissan has not confirmed that the Sentra Spec-V will reach production. Road & Track notes the build relies on aftermarket parts and does not preview a new Nissan sport compact. Readers looking to buy a Sentra in India should not expect this concept to appear on dealer lots.

What others say

Road & Track says the Sentra is a tribute that does not signal a new production sport compact. Car and Driver highlights the NISMO and GT-R hardware fitted to the car. Autox places the concept within Nissan's sport-compact history.

What we don't know yet

The sources do not say whether any of these builds will go on sale, or in which markets. Pricing and availability were not reported.
