[NEWS] New Nissan Z car teased in video

You can't see much, but the silhouette looks like it harks back to the 
long-isg original 240z, rather than the short lard-ass look of the 350z 
and 370z.

    The Next Nissan Z Already Looks Incredible

    The current Z car has become somewhat of a joke to buy
    brand new, as it's older than the Iraq War at this point.
    But its overdue replacement just showed up in a teaser
    video, and it looks fantastic.

    In a teaser video released supposedly showing off the
    near-future of the Nissan lineup, we get taken down the
    models from "A" to "Z," which is just a clunky way of
    pointing everybody's attention to the new Z car design
    that shows up in heavy silhouette at the end.

    It's certainly a retro-inspired design, with divided
    circle daytime running LEDs in the headlights to give
    that classic circular headlight profile of the
    first-gen 240Z, and a rounded rear-end that we only
    catch a quick glimmer of. It appears in the front we're
    getting full-on 240Z throwback, but in the rear we may
    be getting a flavor of the 300ZX too.

    The silhouette immediately reads "Z car" to me, and I'm
    not entirely convinced they've done anything at all to
    the roofline and shape of the windows (which is not a
    bad thing).

    The car is expected to be called the "400Z" and is
    rumored to feature the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 from the
    rather rough Infiniti Q60 Red Sport, a car which I found
    to come just short of being good though I didn't mind
    the power. That car comes with 400 horsepower,
    suggesting the new Z name will reflect its power output.

    That places it solidly ahead of the new Toyota Supra in
    the power department, and since it seems this car is far
    more likely to feature a manual transmission, Toyota's
    little passion project is beginning to look less and
    less passionate. Maybe Nissan will pull this off.

    It's also pretty obvious that the design we see above
    already seems nearly production-ready, which would make
    sense as it's included in Nissan's plan to introduce 12
    new or replacement models in the next year and a half.
    So the Z is coming very soon, should the world let it.
