The Philippines has earned the honour of being the first country in the region to make the new Nissan Z available, with order books opening for the sports car on 21 September 2023. Nissan Philippines surprised members of the media and guests during an event recently by rolling out the Nissan Z. The order date comes about following some initial production delays early in its launch phase but as they say, better late than never. While many speculated that the latest model in the Z-car family linea

The Nissan Z is one of the most recognisable names in the sports car world and after hanging on for 11 years, the Z34 370Z is finally replaced by the RZ34 Nissan Z in 2022. Though it’s unlikely that the all-new Z will be brought into Malaysia officially by Edaran Tan Chong Motors (ETCM), the legendary model is recently launched in Australia. According to Nissan Australia, the limited-edition Z Proto has been sold out but it still lists the standard Z Coupe for sale from AUD 80,095 (~RM 250k). Th

While we know for a fact that the Z Proto’s platform is shared with the older Nissan 370Z, what remained a mystery is the exact powertrain of the upcoming Z-Car. Th

If you are anything like us in the office, you probably had posters of a white Countach or a red F40 on your wall growing up. Younger readers - somewhere around my age - might've had Skylines or Supras instead. In a roundabout sort of way, that’s what the upcoming Nissan Z aims to be. “Great, just another unaffordable halo car that I can’t even dream to own?” Not quite. Read on… Good things going forward Let's show the elephant in the room the door first - it may not even be called the 400Z. “Th

The Nissan Z Proto is a perfect mixture of past Z cars (or as Chief Designer at Nissan, Alfonso Albaisa called it, memories) and the future of Nissan. Some people might say it is merely an evolution of the 370Z but clearly, there is more to that. In fact, it is probably a better reworking of what Nissan had done a little over 20 years ago with a Z concept also known as the 240Z Concept.
