Base varieties of the first generation Series 1 were offered in either rear wheel drive, or all wheel drive, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission however, the tuned 260RS Autech version made available beginning in Series 1.5, was offered exclusively with a 2.6 Liter Twin Turbo engine coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission and all wheel drive a configuration that was carried on through Series 2 as well. The Autech version included modifications such as Brembo brakes, 17 inch BBS forged alloy wheels, body strengthening, and upgraded suspension, among others. Interior modifications such as a GTR steering wheel and gauges, leather accents, and special seat trim were standard on the 260RS as well. Between the Series 1.5 and Series 2, fewer than 1,800 Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech models were produced. Similar to the 260RS, the Nissan Stagea RS Four units produced as a part of the first generation were available strictly as an all wheel drive vehicle, but were offered with either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission in order to suit the needs of a larger customer base.
