It is not surprising that it looks very similar to the Z Proto.
Nissan chose August 17th to unveil the new Z sports car. It’s almost here. Three teaser videos were released by the company on Instagram to promote the new Z sports car and show off some of the coupe.
The company showed the prototype with the Z Proto concept and spy photos suggested that the final product would not depart from the concept’s design. The similarities are highlighted in the new teasers.
These three teasers are all very short videos and mostly show the car in shadow. However, we do see the exterior color of the car, which is pale yellow. It is identical to the Z Proto’s color. The Instagram posts by Nissan did not include any further details about the car, so we will have wait until next week to find out more. There are however rumors that will help to fill in the gaps.
The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine from the Infiniti Q60 red Sport will be installed by Nissan for the new Z. It should produce 400 horsepower (298kilowatts) as well as 350 pound-feet (484 Newton-meters) of torque. Power will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The Z Nismo, which is rumored for arrival in the early part of next year, may offer more power.
The teasers don’t show the interior of the Z, but it shouldn’t be too different from the Proto. Next week, Nissan will open its order books for the Z. We are hoping to find out. One rumor suggested that the date was November 15. This could indicate that the car could go on sale in the first half of next year. We will hopefully hear from Nissan next week.
