nissan 400z

Nissan has seen a decline in sales of 27 per cent year on year in 2020. When you compare this to the market overall, which is down 16 per cent, this sounds rather significant, however a continuation of November's rebound is expected this month, keeping in mind the aforementioned figures only cover up to the end of November.

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.

Despite the growing push for emissions-reducing electrical assistance in new vehicles, Nissan will steer clear for the new 400Z. The leader of Nissan’s GT-R and Nismo products, Hiroshi Tamura, revealed to Australian media that while alternative options were considered, Nissan development choice was “driven by customer voice”.

Nissan Australia says it will request as many examples of the 400Z sports car as it can get its hands on, because it believes the new model will be more popular than ever. While the arrival timing and pricing for the Nissan 400Z are yet to be announced, there is widespread speculation it will be in showrooms next year with turbocharged V6 power, which is likely to make it an instant smash hit among performance enthusiasts and the drifting community alike.
