In the camp of Japanese high-performance cars, Nissan Z series, which became famous from the datsun era, has always been a model that we can't get around when talking about the classic Japanese sports car era.

Although it is not as famous as the God of War GT-R, realistically speaking, Nissan Z series meets the entry requirements of many performance car enthusiasts.

Moreover, under the circumstance that the whole Japanese high-performance cars tend to be silent, Nissan's Z series is one of the few models that can continue the generation-even the current 37Z has not been replaced for eleven years.

Since the beginning of this year, news about the upcoming new generation of Nissan Z series began to appear on the Internet, which also excited fans of Japanese high-performance cars for a long time.

Yes, in recent years, with the gradual recovery of Japanese automobile industry and the great success of Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ after testing the water market, some classic Japanese high-performance cars have also shown a rising trend.

For example, Toyota Supra finally ushered in a new generation after a lapse of more than ten years, and the return of Nissan Z series undoubtedly added an important weight to this trend of return.

a few days ago, Nissan officially released a preview version of a new generation of Nissan z series models? Nissan z? Proto。 As a preview of the next generation of Z series that will be put on the market soon, how many days have Z been produced? Proto has also become the most popular model in the streets and lanes.

So, from this Nissan Z with prototype suffix? On Proto, what information can we read about the new generation Nissan Z series?

from Nissan z? Proto's overall modeling looks like a tribute to datsun 24Z, which debuted in 196s.

at that time, the Nissan 24Z with a long front and round headlights has always been regarded as the most beautiful Nissan in history.

in order to reproduce this classic design of that year, a brand-new Nissan z? Proto is also moving closer to the big slip back as much as possible in the design of the upper part.

the size of the front of the car has been lengthened as much as possible, and the roof line directly ends with a smooth line after passing through the A-pillar. At the same time, Nissan's designers have specially used a chrome trim to further visually emphasize this trend, and the entire roof has also adopted a black color scheme.

under such a physical structure, a brand-new Nissan Z? Proto's tail became the most attractive angle. The slope of the roof tends to emphasize the taillight group connected by black trim panel with the raised rear shoulder after the rear end is folded.

this extremely simple design does not lose the texture of the design at all, and the source of this design inspiration is also derived from the Nissan 3ZX in the 199s.

however, compared with the design of lines on the tail and body, this brand-new Nissan Z? Proto's front face design is obviously a little controversial.

in front of the car, Nissan z? Proto continues the overall simple design style, and only two headlights and an air intake grille form the visual feature of the front face. However, the problem lies in this simple layout.

in order to meet the change of the hood split seam, the headlights on both sides completed the rapid transition in a straight line near the hood split seam. Although the parting is simple, the aesthetic feeling of the headlights is also destroyed.

In addition, the two LED light sources in the headlight group did not convey the patterned features well, which directly led to Nissan Z? Proto's car lacks a little spirituality.

at the same time, the rectangular central air intake grille does seem too casual, which makes Nissan Z? Proto's front has obvious contraction feeling, which is somewhat out of line with the sense of touching the ground and fighting that its sports car should emphasize.

and this design is bound to put forward a lot of difficulties for the subsequent modification of the combat kit in the market.

of course, from another angle, this front face design? It can also be seen as taking a lovely route. After all, in some countries and regions, Nissan Z series is named "FairLady".

in order to emphasize the family essence of the z series, Nissan z? In addition to the Nissan LOGO at the front and rear of Proto, the logos on both sides of C-pillar, wheel hub and steering wheel all adopt the exclusive Z-series logo.

this will be very useful for car fans.

in terms of size, the brand-new Nissan z? Proto is slightly larger than the current Nissan 37Z, especially in the length of the car body. The brand-new Z? Proto has reached 438 mm, the body width has reached 1849 mm, and the body height has been reduced to 131 mm.

the matching wheel size is 19 inches. As an ornament, the white font strokes on the tires have a track feeling more than half a century ago.

compared with the emphasis on simplicity in the external design, the brand-new Nissan z? Proto's interior design is full of strong fighting atmosphere.

The wrapping of the whole interior and the complicated arrangement of buttons have even made it difficult to associate it with a Japanese performance car, but it has already taken on the appearance of a European sports car.

the sitting posture of the whole vehicle is a classic sports car sitting posture, and it will "sink" into the operating area after sitting in the cab.

The main body of the center console is composed of a 9-inch LCD monitor, and the entire center console is tilted to the driver's side. A 12.3-inch LCD monitor has been used behind the three-position steering wheel.

just like the design of classic sports cars, the new Nissan z? Proto also added three circular instruments above the center console, which will be very useful for future modification.

the interior atmosphere of the vehicle is mainly black, supplemented by yellow stitching. In addition, in Nissan Z? In Proto's car, you will never see more decorations. Therefore, the style of the whole interior is actually very sporty. At least more successful than the design of the front of the car.

brand new Nissan z? Proto's core in power is a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, but at present, as it is only in the prototype stage, the displacement and output data of this engine are still a mystery.

in terms of provenance, this engine originated from Red? in finidi, England? Sport, the maximum output power is expected to exceed 3 kilowatts.

if the guess is correct, the new generation of Nissan z series will have a comprehensive power upgrade after mass production, which will also enable it to better compete with Toyota's new generation Supra.

As part of the cooperation between Toyota and BMW, the new generation of Toyota Supra is equipped with BMW's inline six-cylinder engine, which is also a small regret on the new generation of Toyota Supra.

It's not that BMW's engine is bad, but that Niu Mowang has become a BMW, which is really a bit boring.

or go back to Nissan z? On Proto, the gearbox matched with this V6 twin-turbo engine is a six-speed manual gearbox. At the same time, Nissan also said that the automatic gearbox matched with it is also under development.

of course, for a Nissan Z series, it is enough to have a manual gear.

generally speaking, a new generation of Nissan z? Proto as a whole is very exciting, but there is obviously more room for adjustment in the design of this front. According to Nissan's plan, the production model will officially debut in 222.

I hope that by that time, the production version of Nissan Z series can make up for this small shortcoming.
