[NEWS] New Nissan Z car teased in video

[Your Name]

You can't see much, but the silhouette looks like it harks back to the
long-isg original 240z, rather than the short lard-ass look of the 350z
and 370z.

The Next Nissan Z Already Looks Incredible

The current Z car has become somewhat of a joke to buy
brand new, as it's older than the Iraq War at this point.
But its overdue replacement just showed up in a teaser
video, and it looks fantastic.

In a teaser video released supposedly showing off the
near-future of the Nissan lineup, we get taken down the
models from "A" to "Z," which is just a clunky way of
pointing everybody's attention to the new Z car design
that shows up in heavy silhouette at the end.

It's certainly a retro-inspired design, with divided
circle daytime running LEDs in the headlights to give
that classic circular headlight profile of the
first-gen 240Z, and a rounded rear-end that we only
catch a quick glimmer of. It appears in the front we're
getting full-on 240Z throwback, but in the rear we may
be getting a flavor of the 300ZX too.

The silhouette immediately reads "Z car" to me, and I'm
not entirely convinced they've done anything at all to
the roofline and shape of the windows (which is not a
bad thing).

The car is expected to be called the "400Z" and is
rumored to feature the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 from the
rather rough Infiniti Q60 Red Sport, a car which I found
to come just short of being good though I didn't mind
the power. That car comes with 400 horsepower,
suggesting the new Z name will reflect its power output.

That places it solidly ahead of the new Toyota Supra in
the power department, and since it seems this car is far
more likely to feature a manual transmission, Toyota's
little passion project is beginning to look less and
less passionate. Maybe Nissan will pull this off.

It's also pretty obvious that the design we see above
already seems nearly production-ready, which would make
sense as it's included in Nissan's plan to introduce 12
new or replacement models in the next year and a half.
So the Z is coming very soon, should the world let it.
