The young generation is transfixed by the transcendent and stylish NISSAN sedan, the 33CIMA.

ALESS MAGAZINE’s coverage is carried out over two days each month. The editorial department picks out the cars to be photographed in advance, and after holding a number of meetings with ALESS’s public relations staff, they carefully plan which cars will be best for the readers. On the day of the shoot, they invite professional photographers who work for car magazines such as VIPSTYLE, and take their time to carefully photograph each car.

The 33CIMA we are introducing here is irregular. We discovered it on the day of the interview and decided to take photos of it on the spur of the moment. You could call it a bargain find, but when you go to ALESS, you sometimes come across superb cars you never expected to see. This 33CIMA is just such a car. It wasn’t on the interview schedule, but it was so cool that we couldn’t resist taking photos of it.

At the OSAKA AUTO MESSE 2025 this year, there was a zone in Hall 4 where the PRESIDENT, 32CIMA and 33CEDRIC were all lined up side by side. All of the cars were extremely cool, and there was always a crowd around them. Incidentally, all of the owners were in their 20s. Right now, the younger generation is favoring old, cool NISSAN cars. That’s why I wanted to introduce them.

This is a later model with a 4100cc V8 engine. This is the basic performance of a VIP. The genuine dark blue body color is also very stylish. ALESS is a specialist in customizing cars, so 80-90% of the cars they handle have already been customized. However, they also have almost stock cars for those who want to enjoy the standard model or those who want to customize from scratch.

This 33CIMA has a small half aero kit and 19-inch CERBERUS II rims for a simple custom look. Of course, it’s cool as it is, but it’s also perfect for those who want to enjoy customizing it in their own way after buying it.

Incidentally, the “KRANZE CERBERUS II”, which is now difficult to obtain, is something you should definitely treasure. It made its debut at the 2002 Tokyo Auto Salon and instantly became a star in the VIP industry, with famous owners of the time all installing it. The theme was a solemn and fearsome expression, as if waking from a deep sleep, and while retaining the appearance of the first generation Cerberus, which was a huge hit, the spokes were lengthened. The size of the maximum rim width of 178mm was also a topic of conversation.

Model year 1999, with 87,000km on the odometer. Although there are some small scratches on the interior and exterior, the condition is at the highest level for its age. It also received a 4-point rating, the second highest rating, in the Japanese used car information magazine Carsensor. It comes with a valid vehicle inspection certificate until May 2026, and is priced at 1.39 million yen. This is a real bargain. If you like sedans with a calm appearance, don’t miss this opportunity.
