Carbon wrap and gradient paint are the key!
The carbon creates an extraordinary look! Don’t be surprised by the Z alone—this Atenza also sets off serious warning bells…
Inside, ractive has transformed it with custom seats and more…
The finish is powerful, but the mirror is the real highlight. It looks understated, yet hides high-tech features—see below!
Racing Heart CR wheels in gunmetal. As on the 350Z, ractive has upgraded the brakes.

The carbon-fiber look creates a dramatic presence. The front spoiler is by ractive; the suspension is by Evolution.
The trunk is fitted with amplifiers and a subwoofer. There is no unusual gimmick, but it is certainly show-car quality.
Now you can see the body is not actually carbon fiber, though the overall effect is still striking. The rear spoiler is custom.
The door mirror is so compact you might miss it. A miniature camera is built in, letting the driver monitor the rear view!
