The NRZ-986 was produced from 1985 until 1994 the design proved highly versatile. During this time it was the basis for many racing variants. This made it one of the most iconic vehicles for the company.
The NRZ-986 was a revolutionary design for the company. Finally bringing to life the futuristic styling debuted from the 1982 NCX-R concept vehicle. It was underpinned with a new monocoque chassis. Featuring double wishbone setup from and rear that would service as a basis for the majority of future models.
It replaced the venerable NRZ-976 which had served as the companies main performance vehicle. It had enjoyed success as the Democratic Socialist Republic of Anikatia’s elite. It was also the basis for the companies Group B rally efforts. While The NRZ-976 never had enough funding or support to truly take on the leaders. It managed to achieve some success in the field.
The NRZ-986 was designed with a Group B variant well in mind. Unfortunately due to the cancellation of the rally category cut short the newly developed version and efforts. However, it would later be repurposed for Group A with an all wheel drive four cylinder version.
But the NRZ-986 when introduced was striking design unlike anything else on the road in the DSRA. The earlier variants were very spartan compared with contemporaries. Lacking power steering, air conditioning, radio or many other amenities. But for sporting focused vehicle in DSRA it was well regarded. Earlier models were not officially exported into major Western nations until 1992.
When it arrived in the West it received a substantial facelift. The interior received a complete revision. Now equipped with all premium gadgets of the era. Making it an entry-level alternative to more expensive rivals such as the Erin Scarlet.
By this time the line-up included a basic Touring S four-cylinder model. That proved relatively unpopular. The bulk seller was the Touring SR a naturally aspirated 3.0L six cylinder. The top of the line was the turbocharged Turbo R trim. Which was nearly able to match expensive rivals in performance while still undercutting them in price.
Now the vehicle sent to the client here. Appears to one of few grey imports. It features an upgraded interior with some capitalist style luxuries. Like power steering, air conditioning, along with an array of standard equipment and cassette radio system. The suspension has also been re-tuned for your nation.
All for the low low price of $15,210!
Well the rules never said no coupes…
