Now in its seventh generation, Nissan’s much-loved Z is ready for another round with design links to its heritage
Nissan unveiled a prototype of the Z back in September 2020, which garnered some high praise from CDN and the wider car media world. Shortly after, we caught up with Shinichiro Irie, program design director of the Z Proto, to get an understanding of the design choices.
Now, Nissan has taken the wraps of the production-ready Z, and we’re pleased to report that not too much has changed.
