Taking a leaf out of Top Gear’s book, Nissan took its 370Z Nismo to the Swiss Alps and pit it against something that falls from sky; in this case BASE jumper Dave Barlia, the wingsuit man. As usual, the winner is the one who arrives at the bottom of the mountain first.

Maximizing the car’s chance, the job of driving the Nissan 370Z Nismo was given to Germany’s 2012 Nissan GT Academy Champion, Peter Pyzera. And God bless him, he pulls every trick he knows to make the video more interesting to watch:

The film showcases advanced technology such as the biometric harness and JukeRide used by the Nismo Athletes during the Driver Development Programme. The 370Z is an old girl now, but thanks to its powerful engine and competition-inspired chassis setting, it can still cut it.

Nismo Athlete Pyzera commented: “That was absolutely amazing, I could see Dave up above me and I just had to concentrate and get in the zone to beat him down. Afterwards we looked at the data we gathered from wearing the biometric harnesses, which monitor my biometric data, and I could see when I was totally focussed.  While this is fun, it is serious business – it not only improves my performance but is invaluable in helping me prepare for my next race.”
