For what? An S2000 revival?
The Nissan Z-series is a model series of sports cars manufactured by Nissan since 1969. The original Z was first sold on October of 1969 in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z at Nissan Exhibition dealerships that previously sold the Nissan Bluebird. It was initially marketed as the Datsun 240Z for international customers. The most recent is simply known as the Nissan Z, in production since 2022.

Prelude for A complete Eighties revival.

Ah - yes - nostalgic. Would be nice to see how ever unrealistic: Supra vs Z vs Prelude.

I'd prefer a proper S2000 successor rather a Prelude redux. RWD FTW!

Honda need more emotion. The New Civic Type R may be phenomenal? But it looks as if they designed it using Lego’s. They need to break out of this phase they have landed themselves in. Honda e and NSX aside. Everything else is dull.

2024 Nissan Z NISMO Spied, Could Pack A 500 HP Punch
The Nissan Z Nismo is starting to take shape and it's slated to feature new bumpers, lightweight wheels, and an upgraded twin-turbo V6
Nissan introduced the redesigned Z last year, but we’re already looking forward to the upcoming Nismo variant.
As you can see in these photos and video caught by a member of the Nissan Z Club, two prototypes were recently caught undergoing testing in Arizona.
While one of the prototypes is heavily camouflaged, the other sports a more minimalist disguise which eschews bulky padding. Thanks to this light-handed approach, we can see a new front bumper that features a split central intake as well as what appears to be new side intakes or air curtains.
Moving further back, there are lightweight wheels that are more extreme than what’s found on the Z Performance. While the red calipers appear to carryover, they might be joined by larger discs.
The sporty styling continues out back as there’s a more aggressive bumper with rectangular reflectors and a vertical accent between the dual exhaust system. The latter resembles an F1-inspired third brake light, but it’s not illuminated in the photos.
Nissan has been tight-lipped about the model, but previous reports have suggested it could come equipped with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 that develops up to 500 hp (373 kW / 507 PS). That would be a significant upgrade over the standard model’s rating of 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS), but less than the 563 hp (420 kW / 571 PS) created by the ill-fated Infiniti Q60 Project Black S. Of course, the latter used a complicated hybrid powertrain and the Z Nismo is expected to have a more traditional setup.

Would be nice with a Nismo version because the 400Z seems quite tame

Tested: 2023 Nissan Z Automatic Is a Quicker Z-Car!
A no-cost nine-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters imbue the Z with junior GT-R flavor, if not performance.
