Nissan officially introduced the new Z sports car in August this year, claiming that it would prioritize ‘smiles per hour’ over miles per hour. It even launched a collection of sneakers ideally suited for driving the RWD coupe. But we will be excused for not wanting to wait until late 2022 to see it live.
So, if you would like a sneak peek at the
new Nissan Z, make sure to browse through gallery and review the promo
booklet that the company allegedly prepared for printing and that a Nissan Z
Club forum user leaked to the Internet.
For even more Z-related goodness, watch
the enclosed video by Burnt Rubber showing a pre-production vehicle running
road tests in downtown Sacramento. If you happen to recognize the engine sound,
that’s because the same VR30DDTT engine powers the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport. Both
produce identical 405 PS.
The author of the video reports that the
test mule made use of the optional nine-speed automatic transmission. We would
frankly be much happier to see how it would perform with the six-speed manual
box, of course, but waiting is the best we can do at the moment.
