2nd take...

Sep 19, 2020,14:38 PM
 

I read more and looked more at this car... the tail lights ARE reminiscent of the classic '70's models, NICE. Interior is minimal, GOOD. I still do not like the profile, because it follows the current model, which is just not a good looking car... but yeah... it does show some promise. Wanted to add this, because I was a bit dismissive and harsh. Thanks!

New Nissan 240Z prototype

Albaisa: Making a car with such an iconic history is a big challenge. Roughly 1.8 million Z cars have been sold around the world, including more than 1.3 million in North America. That means there are millions of past and current owners with their own uni...  

Superb proto

Yet not planned to be distributed in Europe sigh

Wow! What a beast!

It must be a real pleasure to drive it around California’s coastal roads, don’t you think? Thanks for sharing. René

I think it would be great fun, if everyone else would stay home ...

I have a neighbor who works with Nissan Design, I will have to ask his opinion of this car

Design-wise

It has succeeded in my book with its low-hanging backside, where Porsche is failing for the last 20 years

It will be great to have his insight

Let us know what he thinks. Thanks. René

Yes, didn’t think about that. [nt]

Not mad at all! It is actually a sensible every day car, as long you don‘t want to transport bikes, skiies or so...

Best iteration since the Z32!

Still have mine since I bought it new in 1990. Doesn't get driven much but just can't sell it. ...  

wow that is quite some commitment

I am thinking about a recent Miata as a keeper: low hassle, big pleasure

My best friend at university bought a 1973 orange 240Z to celebrate his graduation [nt]

He wrecked it beyond repair a year later. No injuries.

Gorgeous side view [nt]

The Z has always been immensely popular

 
 By: Jurry : September 16th, 2020-10:55
In the US I must add. I remember all to well that during my Air Force days in Texas, many pilots were drooling over those cars. But even with a price level that in those days was really value for money (compare new price divided by nr of horsepower and yo... 

Not hopeful...

The current Z is ugly. This one is an improvement, but in no way even close to the 240Z or 280 Z. Well, can't resist... zzzzzzzzzz. Iide view is 'OK'. Not sure why anyone would be super excited by side view. Engine specs are 'whatever'. Nothing about this... 

2nd take...
