Blitz is not a brand specific tuner. Although it often presents the spearheading Nissan Skyline, Blitz also works on models from companies such as Subaru, Mitsubishi, Honda and Toyota. Also, it has a subsidiary specializing in European cars called Blitz AG.

Motorsports edit

Blitz also stands out in motorsport events such as in D1GP and drag racing. In D1GP, the company is represented by Ken Nomura and his Blitz D1 Spec ER34 Skyline.[2] Blitz is also present in drag racing thanks to a Toyota Supra which cuts the quarter mile in about 9 seconds.[3]
