I actually liked the squared off grill - definitely inspired by the 240z. I think a silver bumper line crossing over it like the original would gave been a nice touch for this nismo version though.
I’m a Nissan guy! I have a few Titans and a few months I got my 24 Z car. I love it! It’s an absolute blast to drive. And I get way more attention and compliments than I ever expected.
I think the basic Z is a great looking car - though very retro. You can get the basic car with a manual too - much more inline with the whole analogue/retro ethos.
@@tyhyhh how many years between the 370? Ones twin turbo and it's a fair comparison against the older generation VQ from the same family of vehicle. But yeah, if you don't think to much and discount context you almost have a point
The standard Z has much cleaner lines for me. I think it will age better, it’s more timeless and more Z heritage. The square grill is definitely polarising, in person it looks good. It’s one of my favourite parts of the Z, it’s so ballsy unique and just pure Japanese mental I love it.
Love this car. I dont care that it’s not the fastest out there because It’s definitely the most timeless. It’s the perfect blend of old school and modern which is so refreshing in this day and age.
Hope Nissan has a serious mid cycle refresh in plan for the z since they plan on this car having a long production life. Except that might make it 90k msrp.
Wonderful car. Classic sportscar coupe, it worth every penny, especially when all modern cars have become pretty expensive With only AT, however. But it is one of the 3 true modern Japanese sportcars: Nissan Z, Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR 86 and Mazda MX-5.
That grille looks a LOT better, I agree. Not done with the video yet, but still can't get over how the front still looks off. Wouldn't it be more balanced if they had stretched out the head lights all the way to what now is a curvature of the bumper? I think it would look better with bigger head lights. What do you think?
So, the nismo looks comedic with the red stripe. I like the performance grill.( not the proto) better. Performance wheels are better looking. Get a performance, add coil overs and your golden.
I have a 2018 Nismo 370Z - Yes, twin turbos need air, but I really do not like the front nor the lack of "junk in the trunk" rear end. Keeping mine until they smarten up and put in a 6M
nissan may create a manual option since they gotten so much backlash for it being in one option for being a automatic. they pulled a porsche making the gt3 a automatic with no manual option back in 2018
Personally, I think it would be cool to have sort of a NISMO 'sleeper', where all of the visual cues (red stripes) are deleted. But even then, I would only do it if I could get a manual transmission.
2 things I don’t like about this car is the view from the centre rear (looks like Darth Vaders helmet) and the auto gearbox. I’m sure it’s great when you’re on it but it sounds so dreary in normal mode when it’s upchanging early. It should have a manual
I literally never understood that. And I’m sure it’s a fast and great transmission, but it’s not even a DCT. Bruh 😭 the fucking Supra, M2, all Porsches in the same category, all come with a DCT (AND AN OPTIONAL MANUAL). I work at a Nissan dealership and we haven’t sold out nearly $70,000 piece of shit Nismo for months 🤣
Yes you can change the gears manually lol there is a paddle shifter. Also this auto has been engineered to have a sport mode, it performs better than a manual. It's meant to be a race car thus the AT is more efficient.
@@Unxpekted nobody buys a sports car to be the fastest. An automatic option is completely fine if you want it or if you really really want the best track times. But as far as fun and drive experience, I’d take a base manual Z over a fully loaded Nismo.
I've said it b4 ..but the base Z needs a horizontal light bar with chrome trim going through the center of that black rectangular void of a grill ending with turn signals at both sides...to pay homage to the original 240 Z front bumper.. Yes the Nismo looks better in front ...but then anything would.
I love t-tops ... until the seals begin to fail and water starts slowly leaking in. It happens to all of them eventually, except for 70s Corvette's because of the t-top design.
love the design of the nismo, it fixes the ugly front end from the normal version and the special blue color is gorgeous. But 3 things that turn me away from considering it: the car is too heavy even for a GT car due to the old chassis; the auto gear box (it should be an improved manual 6-speed over the normal version or it should have been a dual clutch); and lastly the dealership mark up.
Those blanks in the center are so visible and cheap looking. That infotainment lag and camera resolution isn't acceptable in this price segment. Looks great outside.
I welcome all the hate the Nissan Z is getting. You can already get a barely used Performance trim for just under 50k. Nismos are going for around 60k out the door since no one is buying them. In other words, in just a few years, all Z trims will be a performance bargain. By the time people realize how slept on this car was, it'll cost way more and all the new sports cars will be EVs or hybrids.
The car doesn't even have the basics of the competition. Compared to something like M2 it is missing active suspension, power seats, leather seats, the speed of the M2, leather steering wheel, up to date tech. It is just so far behind.
@@nikomoin7604I have 18 way power in my Cayman GTS. So do most Porsches. I can’t list all the performance cars with power seats. Just about everyone wants it.
Yeah I would never buy the nismo you can get more outta the normal z than this 70k and it’s not dct or manual crazy u can get a q60for 30k nd push more power for less

Normal front end.
The square grill is distinctive and both sorta retro and kinda futuristic.
My personal design highlight.
I’m a Nissan guy! I have a few Titans and a few months I got my 24 Z car. I love it! It’s an absolute blast to drive. And I get way more attention and compliments than I ever expected.
That’s a well crafted Nismo.. 🔥
Anyone who would change those wheels would have to be crazy! Some of the nicest stock wheels I've seen!
I think the basic Z is a great looking car - though very retro. You can get the basic car with a manual too - much more inline with the whole analogue/retro ethos.
I love your analysis of design features. Honestly, no one else comes near your level... Very detailed.
The car is hot BTW. Best Z yet, I would say
This is so much more than the base Z, but this video helps sell the NISMO version.
Automatic only? On a driver's car? This is no GTR, it really doesn't matter if it's milliseconds faster to shift. It's slower than a boosted 370
You’re about the range of 16-30?
Wow a stock car is slower than a nodded car

As a 70 240 owner, 73 510 owner 79 280zx owner this is such a let down.

BRZ is such a cliche, like 18 yo first car or something, I don't like it
Beautiful Nismo Z!!!😍👍
I wish Nissan would have Nismo exhaust as standard item on this Nismo trim level.
Honestly it should have had all the nismo goodies. Nismo suspension, nismo exhuast, and nismo air intake
Finally NiC3 Looking Grill

nismo bumper is more traditional, normal z is more characteristic, iconic.

I have a 2018 Nismo 370Z - Yes, twin turbos need air, but I really do not like the front nor the lack of "junk in the trunk" rear end. Keeping mine until they smarten up and put in a 6M
Unbelievable that this is still slower around a track vs a 3.0 Supra via Car and Driver
The Supra is fast but I think the Z is way more fun to drive. Drive them back to back.
That’s how much of a difference tires make. Michelin pilot sport 4s are by far the best summer tire.
I only got one thing to say. Where's the manual?
Maybe the manual proto with nismo set bumper is a good idea 😊..for engine just mod it
Agreed new front is WAY better. Always hated the box of the regular Z.
You could get a nice low milage used Mercedes-Benz AMG for $65-70K
I like both front ends. The standard front is edgy and defiant. The Nismo is nicely flowing but not as unique.

It's funny Nissan moves more then 3700 lb in 3.9 seconds.
a light weight version of this car with a manual could actually be faster.

Is San ruined the front in. Looks like many other cars. Should be much better , tougher look.

Good luck finding one?
They’re everywhere lol
Are you hiring? For this channel?

NiC3
You already know, if he calls it 'Z Nismo', he's watched every other review. This is just going to be a rehash of other reviews.
I would just buy a c8
Nissan should be cancelled for only offering this in automatic. Im good.

Im sorry but i hate the nismo front bumper. I prefer the normal one
I'll pass. The Integra Type S is just better.
Too slow 👎
