Recently, the brand new Nissan 400Z has become a favorite subject of discussion in the automotive industry. Ever since it first appeared on an online trailer (which fans were impatiently waiting for), numerous images and spy shots leaked their way to the audience.
Prior to the international launch of this anticipated sports car, the leaked pictures and details have finished the guessing game online. According to the sources, the details have been let out by an insider from the automaker who shared it on an online forum.
The most important piece of information is that the car will not be called 400Z as everyone expected it to be (similar to the naming pattern for the 350Z and the 370Z). It will instead be called the Nissan Fairlady Z in Japan and Nissan Z in the global market. If you want to sell Nissan cars in Dubai, head over to CarSwitch for a professional and easy procedure.
Powerplant and a brief on trim levels
When it comes to the powertrain, the brand new Nissan Z will be fueled by Infiniti twin turbocharged 3 liter V6 engine which delivers 400 hp. This is the same engine which is present in the Infiniti Q50 which offers a power benefit against the competitive rival, the Toyota Supra. A fun fact is that the reports state it will also be a tad cheaper as opposed to Supra which is affordable for Nissan.
There are some people who say that numerous versions of the brand new Nissan Z, with a Type S version on top of the base trim which has wider sway bars, Brembo brakes, and some more tech features. There is also a Type T which offers driver assistance functions and heated and cooled leather seats. The flagship model is probably to be called the ST version.
The exterior craftsmanship
The Nissan Z blends the standard sports car dimensions of a short rear deck and a long hood. These proportions are mixed with the quintessential Z styling details. This forms a superior exterior design which is totally modern. A homage is made to the original 240Z by a badge located at the C-pillar.
Another hint of an inspired design detail is the Nissan Z’s rear tail lights which pay tribute to the 1990 300ZX. Although these are simple and precise, the LED lights make them look unique and bright. If you are curious what this sports car will sound like, it boasts a lower fascia with fuel exhaust systems which emit a beautiful song.
The original 240Z came with round shaped headlights which were known for an iconic look. Nissan Z goes retro by shaping the LED lights into an elegant curve. Even with the homage, it appears modern.
Transmission and other details
As everyone expected, the brand new Nissan Z will be available boasting 2 choices of transmission. The first transmission is a 6-speed manual which is present in the 370Z and a new 9-speed automatic transmission taken from Mercedes Benz.
Even though the new Nissan Z will share it’s developments with the outgoing 370Z, it gains advantage from powerful bracing, carbon fiber and high utilization of aluminum. The cabin expertly combines tradition with technology.
By concentrating on a driver focused environment, there are also digital displays and innovative connection options. The traditional round shaped triple ancillary gauges visible in the middle is the proof that Nissan’s DNA runs deep.
The car can be driven with enthusiasm due to the deep sports seat which envelopes your body. An expressive yellow outline is also given to the seat.
