The New Nissan Z Proto at Forsberg Racing with Larry Chen!

[@apophisstr6719]

The Z Proto's design hits every single mark I wanted from a modern Z car, how the hell did you do that Nissan??

[@MAV-jp]

Such a beautiful car with absolute endless possibilities, I wonder what we can swap into it?!

[@plocky4275]

Would be an absolute waste to swap though. The VR30DDTT that this Z will equip is identical to the one in the Skyline 400R 5BA-RV37, an engine that is not unknown for some japanese tuners (HKS, Phoenix's Power) who have been tinkering with it for months now. So far we are looking at tuned powerplants around 540 HP. If anything, the preexisting aftermarket offer is going to make things even more interesting, since the 400Z is lighter and more compact than the Skyline. Looks very very promising.

[@wildanh7806]

@@plocky4275 however as long they haven't achive amount of power to be competitive enough engine swap will be logic option

[@plocky4275]

@@wildanh7806 Yes and no. That depends. If you are looking for extreme numbers in order to compete in things like drift or drag then yes (Daigo Saito in the D1GP with his 2JZ Supra A90 is a good example; the B58 had no mods pushing beyond 800 HP at the time). However, most regulated racing is heavily restricted in terms of power which would definitely make things easier. That and the fact that the average buyer won't be looking forward to have a gazilion horsepower on this car.

[@nowimhigh]

Even if you're taking it to the track every now and then. Anything over 300hp is still plenty of hp. For the regular Joe that isn't competing on a Pro/semi Pro level it'll be just right. Anything over 500hp tends be too much to have as a daily. Which is what the majority of ppl will want out of a Z in the first place. It's an enthusiast car, a touring car made to be driven. The 400Z will continue the Z heritage. That I fell in love with when I had a Z32(90 300zxTT) as my first car. currently own the Z33 platform. I'm quite excited about this new Z. I won't be able to get one and my credit is fucked. But I can't wait to see one in person. Plus the price of 370zs will go down. Which is definitely going to be the next vehicle I own. Unless I can manage to find a Q60 for a few grand more. You'll be surprised at what you can find at an auction. Find a salvaged one to fix it yourself, would be the affordable route. Or at least have it as a parts car for a 350Z/G35 VR30DDTT swap.

[@MAV-jp]

@@plocky4275 I love the logic! But I own a z34 myself! And I only come to that conclusion because I want to move that motor into my current Z and see how I can make the new Z platform something of my own. Of course this isn’t with me buying it and swapping it at Zero miles! I’m going to enjoy the platform for what it’s worth and what it represents. My mind wonders at rapid speeds. And skips a lot of detail

[@Hbizzlenigga]

The new look has definitely grown on me since the unveiling. Furthermore, I would even say this video really helped me form my opinion. I also have to keep in mind that the production model will NOT be the prototype. So with that being said, I really, really hope they keep the clean body lines; and don't add a bunch of vents to nowhere. Nissan really shouldn't cut corners like the frs vs. the gt86 concept in gran turismo. I'd wait as long as it takes to get a new z worth buying.

[@Campos2011]

Same here, hopefully. I'm thinking they'll start at $45-50k then many years later be more affordable. That would only be a summer car for me up North so kinda spendy to only drive 7months of year occasionally.

Now, its just a "wait and see" what that front will look like after a little "massaging". 😊

[@danharper726]

I think the rear gives me a little bit of a s13 vibe, from when Larry was showing the pictures on his camera and the front gives me a tiny bit of a 350Z vibe. But still a wicked cool car

[@SylasG]

Odd cause the tail lights look exactly like s14 tail lights.

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

Since this is still a prototype I wonder what will be changed in the production version?

[@НикитосКрасич]

[@gorillaglue5958]

I love that the bottom of the rear bumper doesn’t have those half circles in it like the 350z/370z so that a single exit like tomei expreme doesn’t look goofy on it

[@larryfisherman6449]

So is the Silvia next for a modern release? Or can one only hope

[@DannyHDpsn]

I truly believe orange fits this car perfectly (yellow is kinda soft), and with a big front intercooler and or a carbon wing it's gonna look insane!

what is the rear centre garnish made of? it looks like piano black plastic material, and if so it will pick up ALOT of swirls and scratches. I hope they choose a better material or even matt black material. Otherwise the car looks EPIC!

[@discokitten5325]

[@worrawatwaterhouse955]

Is it going to make appearances at fd texas?

[@MichaelGuardiani]

I think the garnish on the back looks a bit empty. I think I would've moved the reverse lights towards the middle like how the are on the old Z or maybe have it say 400Z instead of the Nissan logo

[@NamelessGlasses]

The garnish looks empty cause the rear plate should go where the Nissan badge currently sits. It would allow for more fuctional rear diffuser set-ups as well.
