Nissan Motor Corp. unveiled the latest model of its iconic Z sports car at the Tokyo Auto Salon, which ended Sunday.

The new model is the seventh generation of the Z sports car, also known as the Fairlady Z, after its first full-scale revamp since 2008. The first generation of the Z sports series debuted in 1969.

Equipped with the newly designed 3-liter V6 engine, the latest model is more powerful with improved acceleration.

A special edition of the new model is scheduled to go on sale in late June in Japan, with the sticker price set at 6.97 million yen.

The Tokyo Auto Salon, an exhibition for custom-made cars, was held for the first time in two years. Vehicles on display included Mitsubishi Motors Corp.'s all-electric minicar, which goes on sale in the spring, and a custom-made version of the newest model of Honda Motor Co.'s Step WGN minivan.
