Doug Demuro criticised the inclusion of the silver slash that runs down the side. Said it didn't work. That it jars with the design, doesn't fit in. He's wrong. That's all.
THIS is what happens when you let your engineering team and your design team HAVE FUN. This is what happens when you listen to your audience. In the current state of the automotive world, this new Z is a gift from heaven to car guys everywhere. I’d take this over the new supra any day of the week, and would even consider it over a similarly priced mustang. Design is incredible- beautiful surfacing, lack of clutter, wonderful details such as the headlights and taillights + light graphics, and many other subtle details that just lets you know this car was designed passionately and properly. The biggest compliment I can offer it is that its just a _real sports car._

So glad you were able to get your hands on one of these! Wanted to hear your input👌 Although Nissan tends to lack on keeping their vehicles up to date, I personally believe that they are great at making timeless designs.
"the most" elegantly designed modern car? Hmm idk about that cus we do have CGT, LFA, 918, 458, LC500, Vantage, One-77, Chiron, etc. Many beautiful modern cars its impossible to say objectively which one is "the most" beautiful one I'd say.
@@Kev27RS oh well there you go, he couldve been more specific ahahahah, i was so confused cus cars like Skyline, NSX, E46, CGT, Enzo are considered modern classic which means they're old but still modern. But okay I understand now ahahah
I absolutely love this car, if I had a license and 50k to spend this would be my go to lol. I'm so excited to see what people will make out of it! I'd love to see someone make a tail light bar eventually lol, plus a T-top would be cool
Nissan did a great job with this new Z 👍🏼 and I love your reviews as always. Very interesting to hear about your opinions on specs and design characteristics. FYI in Japan they sell the Z as "Fairlady Z" instead of "400Z" or "Z" The silver accent alongside the roofline is inspired by the Katana, a Japanese Samurai Sword, honouring the Z’s Japanese heritage and exquisite craftsmanship.
Just to be clear, you can disable the rev matching for downshifting right? I don't want the car to make it easier for me I know how to downshift thanks
I was not a fan of the new Z in pics, but I seen one at the Philly Auto Show and my whole perspective changed... still not 100% on that front end (missing some sort of an element on the front end, like an air curtain or some blacked out element). That blue interior though is the reason I'd buy this car... I'm a SUCKER for a red interior, but my wallet ends up being slammed on the table when its blue 😂
really like these reviews it provides a pretty nice deep dive in a cars design and shows appreciation or acknowledgement of the smaller details and their intent may be in it even if it isn't something you personally like so I'm interested to see what other cars you get to review
Love your design reviews. But IMO if the front grille area was a bit more like a quadrangle with some angles rather than a straight on rectangle would look much better I feel.
It´s an amazing designed Car. Clear Lines and nothing too much. It´s the most beautiful Sportscar i´ve ever seen in the last 20Years. But we in Europe especially in Germany won´t get it. Lucky Americans. Enjoy this Car, please. We can´t.
The rear and the silhouette look great, but they need to do something about that grille. Color-code the bottom half of it to match the body or make it silver or something.
I want this as my second car. Buy first car for nice weather (MX5) and this for the rest of the time. Finally a non-luxury, affordable Japanese sports car with a character and unique design.
Love to see nissan make a great comeback without their former cost cutting rogue chairman gosen. Nissan made great cars in the 90s and the z32 was gorgeous !
I don’t like that black trim by the bottom of the door. It makes car appear sit higher of the ground than actually is. Besides that design language of this car is great.
Great design, great review, with that camera angle could see some details I missed or can’t be fully seen in pics. It needs spacers at the back that’s it haha.
the back is like a classic 240 , the body angles are like a 370z , but the front grill and headlights just look like a freakin miata. they failed so hard there. the 370z looks so much more aggressive in the face , the 400z is soft looking like a miata
@@ACommenterOnRUclips this car is literally called the 400z and this front end has nothing in common with a Datsun or Nissan 240 and looks every bit of a freaking Miata with the tasteless design of the grill and headlights

@@ACommenterOnRUclips no, I understood it perfectly well, the fact you can’t see it in your mind, I figured you may need actual pictures next to each other. Was only a suggestion 🤷♂️
I’m honestly surprised people like this design. The car looks great from the rear and side. But once you look at from the front, that all goes away. It looks hideous, like they sandwiched two completely different cars together…
Yeah, let's talk about the design.. really?!! People have been talking about the design of this car for more than a year because they couldn't drive it, now that they can, they still talk about how it looks? It's a sport car for the love of God, not an Italian sofa!! Just drive the damn thing and let us know if it runs the way it looks!
I mean blown away? your expectations must be low. it's a low ball refresh using bargain bin existing parts with a mediocre front end that will be worth 50% less in 3 to 5 years......
$50,000 a fantastic deal? Am I the only one thinking this isn't a fantastic deal? I mean if you going to spent that much money you might as well get a Corvette for that type of money or maybe a Nissan GTR....

I have had Z's for three generations now, and this one is the worst I have seen. Interior pretty much the same, but exterior is a disaster. If I wanted a 240Z I would have bought one back then. I like how the cars design has progressed, and then they come out with this design which is over simplified, un-sexy, and horrible.
What an excellent review! Absolutely agree with your comments about the interior choices. They really did knock it way out of the park with this Z!
I’m dying to see the Dark Grey metallic
With you there

The lines are so simple and fresh.
Easily the most elegantly designed modern car. Every line looks purposeful! I really hope that the r36 follows in the same retro inspired design.

Love how the grille matches the design of the tail lights. Nissan was very meticulous with the look of the new Z.

what a car, such a design masterclass. Nissan did a good.

Just to be clear, you can disable the rev matching for downshifting right? I don't want the car to make it easier for me I know how to downshift thanks
Yes, there is a button near the shifter to turn it off. The base model doesn't come with the rev matching feature as well.
yep, it can be turned off.
I have one. Just push the button to turn it off.
My only complaint is the exterior door handle design.
I think something more like what the Corvette C7 had would've looked infinitely better.

I feel like a silvery polished alloy wheel of the same pattern would look great against this yellow with the black roof, or the blue shade.
The rear and the silhouette look great, but they need to do something about that grille. Color-code the bottom half of it to match the body or make it silver or something.
I was hoping it would come with the Nissan Z printed on the tires, but I’m sure someone will make a stencil for it

Nissan Z looks beautiful because it’s also basic. Love the new Z although it’s like a mix looks of the new Subaru BRZ and the old 300zx.
Florida sun going to love that soft dash
Sun visor will fix that 👍🏾
Great review. I’m not a Nissan person but think they did great with this model.
Really liking the review videos!

Love this vehicle Z400 Nismo. - Worth the money!!
I don’t like that black trim by the bottom of the door. It makes car appear sit higher of the ground than actually is. Besides that design language of this car is great.
I hate that the sport model only comes with a black interior. Although yellow and white go good with the black interior.
Nice Ford Puma headlights...
The silver side roof s'il is modeled after a Katana sword.
I love the new Z!
what do you think about Z in black
They are getting closer to the original design. One day....
It looks dope
Great design, great review, with that camera angle could see some details I missed or can’t be fully seen in pics. It needs spacers at the back that’s it haha.
They did it👍
Oh so yellow is available for non Proto Z?
