Also, what is that notch in the driver's seat beside the hand brake?

Looks like heated/cooled seat switch.

I like the interior. The exterior is too plain for me to form an opinion on whether it looks good or ugly... it looks like a generic sports car that the bank would photoshop into their ads.
Agree on the color choice being poo as well. I know it's a throwback, but it isn't doing it any favors on showing off the shape.

The new Z proto is awesome in my opinion. near perfect execution, it actually looks like a Z!
I gotta hand it to Nissan for developing this car at a time when everything is going electric, this will probably be the last Z as we know it!

Yea, nissans not producing a car close to that ride height or wheel fitment lol

***Future240*** · 10-19-2020, 07:44 PM

^^^^Exactly that would be a wide body kit, coils, fender mirrors etc..

merlz · 10-25-2020, 02:53 PM

Very interesting video.

Some keen eye experts closer examine the Z Proto.

Looking at wheelbase and suspension parts and chassis points. All looking like they're the same, if not very similar to the 370Z.

Is it just a revised Z34?

I suppose being a 'prototype' it makes sense to use the z34 chassis to showcase the car. But when the Nissan team say this is basically how the production version will look then it makes you wonder.

^ Thats the easiest and cheapest way for nissan to bring this to market

Agreed! I think i said it in the OP but I really admire Nissan for even bringing this car out in the first place. Everyone is aware of their financial status so for them to do this at all is great.

I'm just happy it's a Nissan rwd sports car to be honest.

this is beyond evident. its just using the exterior body proportions in a much more efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner. the interior is also very close, but again, laid out in a much more efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner.

oh yeah, then theres the case of the motor finally being twin turbo.

basically, Nissan took the FM platform and FINALLY made it worthwhile and pleasing in every aspect possible!

I think it looks great in the modified version renderings. In factory trim its ok. It just goes to show how well this car CAN look though.

*TheRealSy90* · 10-27-2020, 04:45 PM

Nissan took the Z Proto to Magnus Walker's place. So it's officially stateside now.

I like how it looks... better front bumper would tie it together.. that would work for me.

kyral · 10-31-2020, 06:16 PM

its ugly and cool all at the same time!

*burnsauto* · 11-01-2020, 05:43 AM

cool video...i really wish the car wasn't yellow. so many of the body lines and features get washed out in that color. I'm sure in person it's a different story, but in pictures and video it falls flat and it all blends together. I wish they picked a color with more flop to show off the lines.

S14rebuild · 11-03-2020, 05:02 PM

Yellow ones, front bumper looks like a lambo body kit

merlz · 01-14-2021, 10:22 PM

So official patent images were revealed showing the finished production body style. Looks basically identical to the Z concept.
