Production Nissan Z Proto debuts in August

Production Nissan Z Proto debuts in August

Nissan showed the Z Proto in September last year, a very concrete preview of the successor to the 370Z. The production version of the new Z model is finally ready to greet the. Nissan indicates that the probably 400Z-named new sports coupe will make its debut in August.

The corner where Nissan has its sporty models is just not equipped with a defibrillator. Although the 370Z has been discontinued in the Netherlands for a while, the sports coupé launched in 2008 was still sold in various markets until last year. The GT-R, which is still available here, can also be called an elderly automobile with its birth year 2007. The GT-R has yet to hit it, but the 370Z is finally getting a successor. Last year, Nissan already showed an almost production-ready preview of the new model that injects the Z pedigree with fresh blood. The actual production version of that concrete harbinger will be presented on August 17, Nissan said.

The production version of the Z Proto may be called 400Z, which means that a 400 hp strong machine will be placed in the relatively long nose. It is probably the biturbo 4.0 V6 that sister brand Infiniti hangs in the Q60 Red Sport. Shortly after the Z Proto was unveiled, it became clear based on statements from Nissan designer Alfonso Albaisa that the appearance of the Z Proto would hardly change during its metamorphosis into a production model, something that was later confirmed when the patent plates of the final car appeared on the internet.
