GReddy Fugu Z: The Legendary SEMA Showstopper and Drifting Icon
The GReddy Fugu Z is a custom-built Nissan 240Z (S30) that has etched its name into car culture thanks to its striking design, modern engineering, and celebrity connection. Built for actor and car enthusiast Sung Kang, best known for his role as Han in the Fast & Furious franchise, the Fugu Z made waves after debuting at the 2015 SEMA Show, where it won the coveted Gran Turismo Best in Show Award. As a tribute to classic Japanese sports cars, the Fugu Z channels the spirit of the original S30 Z, an icon of the 1970s, while infusing it with contemporary performance and style.
Underneath its retro-inspired and lightweight Rocket Bunny widebody kit, the Fugu Z is powered by a naturally aspirated RB26 straight-six engine, replacing the original car’s more modest powerplant with a unit loved by the Nissan tuning community. This setup delivers thrilling high-revving performance and unmistakable driving dynamics, making the Fugu Z not just a showpiece, but a true driver’s car. The attention to detail extends to its suspension, brakes, and interiors, featuring racing seats and modern gauges that maintain period style with modern usability.
The Fugu Z’s widespread popularity is amplified by its digital presence in Gran Turismo 7 and earlier entries, where it’s celebrated by gamers for its balance of classic looks and contemporary speed. In the real world, its influence has driven renewed interest in the 240Z platform, inspiring similar restomod projects and reinforcing the car’s place at the heart of vintage Japanese performance. The Fugu Z exemplifies how heritage, technology, and passion can unite to create an automotive legend that transcends generations and continents. Whether on the show floor, in the garage, or online in a virtual race, the Fugu Z continues to inspire and excite car fans worldwide.
