The Nissan Z Proto has been caught with its bonnet up, revealing key details about the powertrain of the upcoming 2022 Nissan 400Z.
Sneaky photos show Nissan's pre-production Z Proto with what appears to be a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 derived from the Infiniti Q60, confirming long-held rumours about the sports car's powerplant.
'Mr GT-R' and Nissan Z product specialist Hiroshi Tamura talks spirit and purpose
…
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'.
For enthusiasts, there’s no greater news than that of a new-generation sports car.
The Nissan 370Z has stayed the course for 11 years, having first launched in 2009, but now a new Z waits in the wings, with some pretty strong clues coming in the form of the production-ready Z Proto concept.
Did we say '2021 Nissan 400Z'? Better make that 2022 – for its unveiling, that is, and 2023 for an on-sale date. So, 2023 Nissan 400Z it is.
(This is where, if I could, I'd insert an animated GIF of a man shaking his fist at the sky.)
