Nissan Z Proto 2020
The Nissan Z Proto, unveiled in 2020, marks a bold revival of Nissan's iconic sports car lineage. This prototype previews the next-generation Z series, blending retro-inspired design with modern performance. While not a production model itself, the Z Proto hints at variants likely to follow, including potential turbocharged and manual transmission options. Its 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine, derived from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport, promises 400+ horsepower across future trims. The 2020 showcase emphasizes a driver-focused cockpit with analog gauges and a digital display, appealing to purists. We anticipate base, performance, and limited editions, each offering distinct suspension tuning and aerodynamic packages while maintaining the Z's signature long hood/short deck proportions.
