Can It Actually Match The Supra?
While it remains unknown for the time being, Nissan has taken the effort to make the Z fit for a duel against the rival. The suspension has been reworked to reduce damping force, electronic power steering which increases cornering performance and the aluminium double wishbone suspension has a new geometry setup that enhances rigidity. Other than the transmission option, the Z will be sold in two trims, 'Sport' or 'Performance'. The trim levels however are a lot more than just suede-lined interior bits. The 'Sport' is the base spec with twin-piston calipers on the front brakes with a single-piston caliper on the rear. As standard, Yokohama Advan tires wrap the 18-inch wheel. Other than that, you could opt for either of the two gearboxes.


Paying Homage To The Elders
The new 'Z' looks exactly like the Proto with only minor changes. I love the fact that Nissan added a lid spoiler on the boot, giving the Z aggression it deserves. Generally the car pays tribute to the original Z with the long hood. The front really looks like a modern interpretation of the 240Z with the square grille. The LED daytime running lights are however a distinct feature that is truly eye-catching.
