Ahhh, the 90s. Some claim it to be the best of times… mostly if those some were petrolheads and became aroused by Japanese sports cars of the era. While certain parties may debate labelling some of the nostalgic Nissans here “sports” cars, they all possess a distinct pedigree of performance in their DNA that more than justifies the parallelism. Plus, why can’t we all just enjoy a video that takes some honest examples of these cars and not blow some up their arses but instead make them out to be

After 13 years of being on sale, Nissan has ceased production of the Nissan 370Z. Fret now, however, as the iconic Z-Car will live on in the form of the Nissan Z Proto. Z Proto is the name given to the prototype version of the upcoming Z-Car, though the rumour mill is saying that the next Z-Car could be christened as the Nissan 400Z. 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

The Nissan Z Proto has won itself many fans and the change in narrative is nice for a company that has been dragged through the mud by the legal tussle involving ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn. As much as we love the Nissan Z Proto, it is important to remember that the car has yet to enter production but keep your fingers crossed because Nissan has repeatedly mentioned that it is committed to producing the Z Proto. However what many forgot is that the new Nissan Z won’t be launched in Europe, or even the U

We’ve covered the Nissan Z Proto when it was unveiled last week and had a roundtable discussion with its designer, Alfonso Albaisa. Clearly, the upcoming 400Z has taken a lot of inspiration from the S30 240Z and the Z32 300ZX. But there are a few inspirations taken from the modern Z cars, the 350Z and 370Z. Alfonso was part of the design team of the 350Z and it became a gateway Z car and was somewhat of a fan favourite. It lasted for 6 years before it was replaced by the 370Z. Unfortunately, the

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. Things weren’t doing so well financially for Nissan in the late nineties. Sure, the Skyline GT-R was about to

Ever since it was first hinted in the “Nissan A-Z” video back in May, the world has been abuzz with Nissan’s latest Z car speculating that it would be called the 400Z. For now, Nissan has just unveiled the Nissan Z Proto, which signals the next-gen Z car. For now, this model as the name suggests is a prototype and not the actual production car. Nissan doesn’t even call it the 400Z, yet. The overall design of the Z Proto takes inspiration from the past Z cars. The overall design is reminiscent of
