Suffice it to say, 2020 probably isn't a great time to introduce a new sports car. From the coronavirus pandemic to the recession to seemingly ceaseless natural disasters, it's proving hard enough to launch any new model this year, let alone one into a shrinking niche new-car segment. And yet, that's exactly what this Nissan is doing by setting the table with this Z Proto sports car. Making its debut Tuesday, the Nissan Z Proto previews the coming seventh installment in Nissan's 50-year Z Car history, a franchise that kicked off with the now-iconic Datsun 240Z and has been stuck on Channel 370Z for over a decade.
Conversely, this Nissan Z Proto may be exactly the sort of upbeat distraction -- if not revelation -- that many driving enthusiasts could use right now. Simultaneously new, yet deeply familiar, think of the car seen here as a dishful of high-performance comfort food, arriving at a time where we could all use a familiar face and something to look forward to. Ready or not, world, it's time to get excited for the iconic Z's next chapter.

Ugly rides.

It was sorely needed, while I have always been a fan of the Z series, not too crazy about the rear on this vehicle.
Just glad to see some car companies selling something besides trucks and SUVs.

Eat shite Supra/BMW!
ETA: Reminder that the current 370Z has been in production since 2009, that's a long damn time to go without any updates.

I predict that most sales will be to 50-65 year olds who couldn't afford a new one when they were young but now want one to live out their childhood/young adulthood dream of owning a ZX.

So basically the same people buying a Camaro and Mustang as a 3rd vehicle.....

We are lucky that Nissan didn't throw a CVT into this car.

The old body style was really tired. This needed a whole new look. And all they did was add some lines.
Fail.
Fail.

When did they introduce this car, 2002?
Posted on 9/16/20 at 12:49 pm to dewster
Change the rectangle grill a bit and it’s a winner. Rear end looks nice.

I disagree. 2020 hasn't been ALL bad...
At least it started off well

To me it really calls back to the original Z cars. I like it personally.

Shades of Audi from the rear. But arse ugly from the front.

I love it

The back does for sure. The sides and front are still pretty similar to the previous.
I had a 280Z once. Fun little car. Wouldn't really care for one now. Not without a lot of modifications.
