New cars today have an average production time of between four and six years, in rare cases a little longer. During this time, most manufacturers stuff at least one facelift into that period to keep up with technical progress and at the same time meet customers tastes, which, at least according to some marketing people, change at regular intervals. It is therefore all the more surprising that Nissan still has the 370Z sports car in its range, which has been available at dealerships with only minimal changes since the end of 2008. Experts already assumed that this model would be taken off the market at some point without a successor. Now, Nissan is proving them wrong. In the USA, the Z Proto debuted as an already very near-series preview of the soon-to-be-released new Z, with which the Japanese company continues a tradition that has been upheld since 1969. Back then, the Datsun 240Z caused a sensation with a design by Albrecht Graf von Goertz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turbocharged V6 engine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in model history, a turbocharged six-cylinder engine is used in the Z Proto. However, Nissan doesn’t yet provide any further details on the displacement or performance. Some Nissan experts suspect, that it is the three-liter V6, which is used in the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400, among others, where it produces 400 hp. This would make the new Z significantly more powerful than the still current 370Z with its 331 hp (or 344 hp in the 370Z Nismo). Based on the press photos, it is clear that Nissan plans to use a manual six-speed gearbox. Probably there will also be an automatic transmission with paddleshift at the steering wheel. As with all Z-models so far, the power will be transmitted exclusively to the rear wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n
