At long last, Nissan has given us a look at the next car in its beloved iconic Z line. This is the new Nissan Z Proto; for now, a prototype of what will replace the aging (but shiny) 370Z.
Unveiled Tuesday night in Yokohama, Japan, the Z Concept wears a pearl yellow paint hue and, to the relief of Z enthusiasts and fans everywhere, maintains the classic slanted design of the Fastback Z.
Nissan’s Z cars have always stood for driver-centered sportiness, but the current Z car, the 370Z, hit the market in 2009 and has long been criticized for its age. Still, throughout its lifespan, the car has always offered enthusiasts a rewarding driving experience.
The new Z has big shoes to fill as the car enthusiast niche is famous for being demanding and full of nostalgia. Nissan was quiet on many of the Z Proto’s stats, but did mention that it has a manual transmission mated to a V6 biturbo engine.
