Nissan's 2021 SEMA Show Booth Features 6 Unique Vehicles

Each year, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show showcases distinctive vehicles from multiple auto brands. This year's event will take place from November 2-5 and Nissan will be featuring a few models that are special for their own reasons.

One of those vehicles is the 2023 Nissan Z Proto Spec that we discussed in a previous blog post along with the rest of the lineup for this all-new sports car model. There will only be 240 units of this specific model, pictured above in yellow, sold in the U.S. and provides amenities like a 400-hp 3.0L V6 twin-turbo engine, 12.3" customizable racing-inspired TFT meter display, an 8-speaker Bose audio system & other exclusives.
