We have a date: the production 2022 Nissan Z sports car will be unveiled in full on 17 August 2021 (US time). No information was released on Nissan’s social channels alongside the date announcement, the brand did confim the new Z would break cover in New York City – and the reveal's proximity to the motor show in the same city (which opens to media on August 19) indicates the reborn sports car will make its public debut at the event...
The Nissan Z Proto concept – which will form the basis for the highly-anticipated, production-bound 2022 Nissan 400Z (or just Nissan Z, according to some reports) – has been spotted driving on public roads in Tennessee, USA...
UPDATE, 7 April 2021: New images of the production 2022 Nissan 400Z – or simply Nissan Z, as it could be called – have emerged overnight. Posted by sources including CarBuzz, the images show front and rear three-quarter views of a silver example of the new sports car, which leaked information published in March 2021 suggests is a mid-spec, luxury-focused 'Type T' variant of the car...
The 2022 Nissan 400Z could simply be badged 'Nissan Z' and undercut hot hatches on price in the US when it is unveiled later this year, according to new information. A post on the NewNissanZ fan forum claiming to quote leaked insider information – the authenticity of which couldn't be validated by CarAdvice – alleges Nissan's new sports car will be badged 'Nissan Z' in export, non-Japanese markets, rather than the power-based 400Z designation widely rumoured...
The 2022 Nissan 400Z will produce 331kW and weigh 1475kg, if figures published in the recently-updated Project Cars 3 racing game prove accurate. It's widely understood Nissan's upcoming sports car will derive power from a twin-turbocharged V6 engine – expected to be a 3.0-litre unit sourced from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400, according to recent spy shots...
The 2022 Nissan 400Z sports car edged closer to Australia this week, with Nissan filing patent images locally for what appears to be the production car. While the Nissan 400Z has already been teased with the Nissan Z Proto concept (bottom) unveiled in September 2020, new patent filings lodged with Australian intellectual property officials seem to show the production version of the hotly-anticipated sports car...
Many know him as 'Mr GT-R', but Hiroshi Tamura has always had a Nissan Z car of some form in his life, and they've always been mean, extra-ordinary versions. The first was a used example of the race-focused homologation 240ZG, chosen because its pointy fibreglass snout reminded him of Japan's iconic Shinkansen – known to most of the world as a 'bullet train'...
Australia loves a performance car, no questions there. Whether that stems from the tyranny of distance, or our cultural upbringing on Bathurst and V8s, who knows. What we do know is that we still continue to buy the hotted-up versions of regular cars, alongside a healthy amount of two-door sports cars, too...
It reads like a movie. "One of the first cars I recall seeing was as a little kid in Miami, in 1970, 71… That's one of the reasons I fell in love with designing cars." The scene shifts to a young man stepping off a plane, with the caption "20 years later…" (Well, almost...
UPDATE: The fans over at 400ZClub.com (gee, they've really doubled down on the 400Z name!) have created a set of nicely re-coloured examples of the Z Proto, so we've added them to the story below. September 17: The very special new Nissan Z Proto concept was revealed today, showcased in an especially bright yellow that not only paid tribute to the 240Z and 300ZX that inspired it, but also got tongues wagging...
The Nissan Z Proto concept, unveiled this week in Japan, provides a surprisingly production-ready look at what Nissan has in store for the next chapter in the Z story. While the visuals are all but locked in, details on the engine and performance potential were kept more closely guarded...
