A very appealing design which has it roots in the history of the Z-platform. Japanese designers are doing a great job these days, also over at Toyota and Mazda.

I keep mentioning: You CANNOT have flush wheels in production cars, not because of rubbing, but because of laws regarding whether the wheel/tires sticks out of the body. In Japan for example the wheel center cannot go past the top fender, so even if you clear the fender liner with camber it’d still not be compliant. You can work around these with little tabs on bumpers but that’s not pretty either. Regarding concepts looking similar to production: design lock for a production car happens years before it’s unveiled to the public. By the time the Z Proto came out the production design was done, meaning they likely just spruced up the production version. Some concept cars are a proof of concept, which after greenlit then goes into the production design phase, which takes years.

that blue interior is the sexiest interior i ever seen

[@ctng37]

I really do like the car. So glad Nissan is updating the Z! I do like the trunk lip but from images, I think I prefer no wing like the proto simply bc of the badging. I think the reason for the sunk in wheels is to make the cars legal but it's nothing a set of spacers can't fix. I honestly love how the 370z interior is mostly carried over. I agree, the 370z's interior had a really good layout. It just got really old since it hasn't been updated since 2009. My only thing with the interior is the piano black steering wheel controls. From my limited experience, it gets dusty so quickly and it's so easy to scratch. Since it's a high touch area, Nissan probably already thought it through and took measures to help alleviate that

[@thebryster240]

Really hard feat

[@Zeron18]

You never mentioned the 6+4 brakes on the proto vs the 4+2 brakes on the production. That's a gtr brake setup on the proto. The reason why the stance is gone was because of negative camber to meet handling regulations. The proto looks like a zero or a slightly positive camber. Hit a corner hard enough and the tires will flex onto the sidewalls. That's not going to be a good thing as the sidewalls are not as reliable than the treads.

Good analysis, definitely agree with your recommendations about the wheels / tires / wheel arches. One thing I was hoping they’d do is break up the front grille a little more, basically take your sketch line at 10:38 and paint it in body color to visually divide up the grille real estate a bit. But I guess that’s an easy enough fix with a little touch up paint if it really bothered me. Also, I like the deck lid spoiler as it helps transition the roof line to the car’s rear end IMO (I’ve got that option on my 350Z so I’m biased), but I wish they would have left the door handles alone and gone with the Proto version. The production ones have this weird trim panel around them which just draws too much attention and makes them look tacked on. I see the keyhole is in that panel, but I have to think they could have just added that in the door panel and went with the Proto handles instead.

Something you missed from the side profile, was that they changed the body lines at the bottom of the door.

[@machrosky224]

Do you recognize that this Z400, bronco, countach, NSX type s, more cars are going back in design language than ever ? why so

[@c.m.7037]

The generation that saw those as youngsters can probably now afford them lol.

[@hectordavidmaldonado-hd1355]

I think one reason is because it will make people switch to EV easier. Give em a taste of nostalgia along with the new EV Batteries. Mark my words you will see new EV's with the old school design language. I love it. Its very classy and many will age well.

[@catsexe6932]

Guys,save this car because this might be the last of this kind

[@grandpajoe3754]

$40k? Good luck getting one at MSRP. Going to be another C8 fiasco. Another thing I've seen nobody talk about at all is the brakes. Proto has aggressive 6 piston fronts/two piece rotors, production has the 370z brake setup. HUGE disadvantage. As someone who's owned a 240,300, 3 350's and a 370 the '23 Z just doesn't quite do it for me. It doesn't look mean at all. Your '21 Camry TRD looks sportier than this Z >.>

[@787blah]

It’s not supposed to look mean. And the Camry like the civic is overly designed ricebox not this or any z for that matter. Less is more.

What I can’t understand, someone like you that loves car design , buys a model 3 Tesla, the most uninspiring vehicle design inside and out, especially the inside.

[@Incomudro1963]

The model 3 is a great looking, clean, functional design, that doesn't try to look like it has an internal combustion engine.

[@joepeluso3864]

@@Incomudro1963 believe what you want, to everyone that I know, that doesn’t have interest in cars, they all say the interior is cheap and shit, the outside is average at best. Also functional design doesn’t mean going through the screen to turn on basic things, like the wipers.

[@Dinrog]

Agreed. Teslas look "ok" but totally bland and uninspired.. would never get one. Quality im not sure about but seeing the gaps between parts of the body vary wildly is always a fun endeavour when i come across one!

[@Tophu5301]

My first car was a 72’ 240z in that same yellow as the proto. Sadly had to sell it right after getting the electricals completely redone. I love the hood design… brings back memories.

[@citizenfour9622]

Very disappointed to hear it’s just a reskin of the current model/ chassis. The cheap plastic interior also speaks to Nissan’s lack of confidence in the brand or consideration for the fans. I understand budgeting, but Nissan _NEEDS_ a win! 🤦‍♂️

[@adonismorales9363]

Agreed the use of cheap plastic makes you feel like you’re driving a old 240z and then it hits you..... im in a brand new car that has the same interior as the cars in the early 2000’s. I like that they stuck to their Z heritage, but I think it needs an update.

[@onelyone6976]

So you’re already drawing conclusions on a car that just recently was revealed, and basically only photos are available, that don’t tell the entire story. Yes it’s not perfect, but no car is perfect. I’d reserve my full judgement for when reviews of them start coming out, and when they start arriving in showrooms

[@aust1nboston]

@@adonismorales9363 Not sure how you can tell its all cheap plastic just by looking at it.

[@citizenfour9622]

@@aust1nboston Theres already hi-res images of their interior. It's plastic! 🙄

[@citizenfour9622]

@@onelyone6976 Nissan has confirmed this "new" Z is the same 370Z chassis with hardware from their Infiniti Q60. I'm sure it'll be a fine car -- it looks great -- but it won't be the "all-new experience" promised by Nissan. The point is that it's a reskin and Nissan promising more than that could easily backfire on them!

Huge respect to Nissan to keeping their heritage and traditions alive and make an amazing car like this. A beautiful car meant to be driven with fun

[@Dimaximus-K]

This car is a 370z with a new body. The frame and interior are pretty much the same. Sad. this is not innovation

[@_baller]

Yeah very good

[@adonismorales9363]

In my opinion the 370z looks better than this. This looks like Nissan threw in a munch of old design elements ultimately ending up to making a new z car that just looks confused and lost at this point. I just hope the aftermarket makes body kits soon because this isn’t really that appealing.

[@ant208]

No, it's got new engine, drive train, interior, exterior and upgraded chassis.

[@witnessg431]

The only thing the same with the 370z is the chassis. There is no way you think the interior in the 370z looks the same as the new Z.

[@kevinmiller1121]

@@adonismorales9363 Agree 100%. This looks like a new body that was designed in pieces by a committee that didn't talk to each other.

[@kainemarsh9001]

Fyi not a car person, Does spacing out the wheels have any negative side effects like performance or weaken it, make it hard to turn? Was shopping around for a sports car and everyone has been talking about this.

Im really impressed with Nissan on this one. such a nice blend of modern and retro. Im hoping to get one someday.
