The Japanese have become known over the years for their bold constructions in sports cars. THE Tommykaira is a company that holds firmly to this philosophy, which is perfectly reflected in the model ZZas he called it in the 1990s.
This is a roadster which most resembles her Lotus Elise. A sports car… down, as it weighs only 650 kg. It is centrifugal, with the engine set consisting of one 2 liter inline four cylinder her Nissan (SR20DE) with four carburetors.
He in turn works with one 5-speed manual transmission which transfers traffic to rear wheels. Thanks to the minimal weight and 180 horsepower this Tommykaira ZZ completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4 seconds!
The Japanese company that built it started in 1986 and became famous working on its most efficient sports models Nissan and her Subaru. In the early 90s, she decided to build her own model and around the middle of the decade, she introduced it ZZ.
The first generation went into production on 1996 and stop it 2000while the second one was launched in 2014, until the interruption of availability in 2021.
This particular one recently sold at auction through her Bring a Traileris his model 1997, so first generation. The body is made of fiberglass and was recently freshly painted.
The roof covering is detachablewhile the whole moves thanks to Volk Racing 16-spoke VE37 wheels.
One of the most impressive features of its equipment Tommykaira ZZwhich also does incredibly capable in closed routes and “spindles”, it is the double wishbone suspension on the front and adjustable shock absorbers on each wheel.
Although narrow due to a small body (wheelbase at 2,375 millimeters), the cabin does not disappoint, as the quality of the materials is excellent to the touch and aids ergonomics. Gray dominates the dashboard, while the bucket seats are cloth and black.
THE Bring a Trailer sold the car at auction for only $40,250 and the owner can’t complain, as he bought for the price of a Nissan Juke a genuine Japanese and now classic roadster that has traveled only 27,000 km.
