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

The Toyota GR Supra is now here, priced from RM 568,000. Any discussion about the Toyota GR Supra will inevitably be overshadowed by debates about whether this BMW-Toyota jointly developed model can be a true successor to carry the legendary Supra nameplate, which is a shame because it takes the attention away from something that’s very important to anyone who cares about the brand that makes the Toyota GR Supra. The latest A90 generation Supra isn’t called the Toyota Supra but Toyota GR Supra.

Late last month, Nissan dropped a teaser of its upcoming models, including the long-awaited 400Z. Although the teaser gave us a decent look at the new Z car’s silhouette, other details like the front-end or wheel design are lacking. This is where Mag-X steps in with their rendering of how the 400Z could look like. Now, before you scoff at Mag-X’s rendering of the 400Z, keep in mind that their rendering of the all-new Toyota Harrier was rather spot-on, which lends credibility to how the 400Z coul
