Re: 400 Z prototype ?
Good lord NO! Couldn't look more generic! Misses the point completely! With all the beautiful cars available in the same price range and fun factor, that design would be a disaster in my opinion. Several generations of the Z have been beautiful, and several have been turds. If that is truly the proposed design, don't bother.
Ive seen normal. It aint pretty.

Re: 400 Z prototype ?
dont worry. It's a render from a render mill. It's not even close to the render by Autocar, whom which motor1 lifted their info.

Re: 400 Z prototype ?
Bet the Z is no more ...anyway with $$$$$$$$ market drop
This sars 2 -115 virus is still going to be around .
I do not like t h e 350 z design though ...too tiny hate that rear wheel 3-4" from end of car
You should have seen the 280zx ...when 1st it came out bright orange , lime green with hub caps mostly sticks , racers bought many of them , then the two tone metalic blue / silver burg / silver

Re: 400 Z prototype ?
The last great Z in my opinion was the 300zx.
Nissan would have a hit if they kept the weight under 3000 lbs and it looked externally like a modernized 240z

Re: 400 Z prototype ?
They still have time to work on the car design, I am not a fan of it. I feel like a lot of car enthusiast is disappointed with how it looks.

Re: 400 Z prototype ?
They're "renderings" They aren't connected whatsoever to the actual designs, designers or Nissan. There pure speculation done by commissioned artists to get more clicks for websites like Motor1.
