launch edition of the 7th-generation (RZ34) Nissan Z, capped at

touches:- Exterior Styling: Features exclusive Ikazuchi (Japanese
for "Thunder") Yellow TriCoat paint paired with a contrasting gloss
black roof.- Wheels & Brakes: Rides on 19-inch Rays forged alloy
wheels finished in a special bronze, contrasted by custom
yellow-painted brake calipers with the Z logo.- Cabin Accents: The
