Nismo Z prototype spied testing in the U.S.

[jdm-rhd]

here's what happened...

nissan: oh those bothersome forum members on nissanzclub are not happy with the Z's performance numbers?

dan passe: no sirs, they were expecting a zupr4 killer.

nissan: oh really? release the kraken!

There's the 6 piston fronts!

The Nismo is going for a "423" vibe this time, remember..."all in on "Nostalgia" this time around"

Don't get too happy yet......the price is not going to be what we're used to.

Please tell me (or strongly hint) that you are referring to the original 432 car which had the Skyline engine.

Maybe it will have a similar look to the GTR?

Nope.

Nissan has moved on from that design language

Nope.

True! Though I could see some of the performance-oriented details being used - NACA ducts, fender vents, more aggressive front aero (maybe even canards), etc.

@Dan_Passe So there was a camoed Z that appears to be a Nismo test run. Can you confirm or deny this?
