Nissan Z Proto Shows 6-Speed Manual, New Design Details In Teaser Video – Motor1

Next Tuesday, September 15 at 8:30 PM EDT, the covers are lastly going to come off the new Z sports automobile. Its technically going to be a model, but the production version coming quite perhaps next year needs to be largely the exact same. Ahead of the 370Z replacements world launching, Nissan has been coming out with an unprecedentedly high variety of teasers to develop the thriller.

The latest episode further confirms what the previous clip suggested– the schedule of a manual transmission. We can see the six-speed lever for the stick shift in all of its glory, together with a proper handbrake instead of a button in a bid to please the purists. Not just that, however Nissan has been kind enough to show a little bit of the taillights, which will take after those of the 300ZX (Z32).

We also get to hear the roar of the engine, probably a V6. Its said to utilize a twin-turbo 3.0-liter adjusted from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 where it makes 400 horse power and 350 pound-feet (475 Newton-meters) of torque, however that remains to be seen. For what its worth, Nissan states the Z Proto will be “effective,” not to discuss “renowned” and “retro” as per the videos description on YouTube.

With still a couple of days left up until the much-awaited launching, we have a feeling Nissan has at least another teaser gotten ready for its new rear-wheel-drive coupe.

The 30-second clip gives us the opportunity to see the modified Z logo and take a look at those alloy wheels with a 5 double-spoke style and Z-branded brake calipers hiding from behind. In case youre uncertain what sort of car youre looking at, the tires have prominent Nissan and Z lettering on the sidewall that might stay a prototype-only affair.
