I'm a old Z fan, like big time. I lost a little love for the 370. But... WOW. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 . THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A OLD CAR A NEW CAR. THANK YOU. REALLY.
Well... I want it! Nissan was my first love. S13’s and 14’s got me into cars. Option video, 300zxtt, R32,33,34’s filled my dreams. This car is re lighting an old flame🔥
KingDM haha your right bro;) I had a kid so I thought I should get an STI since it’s four doors and I knew if I got something RWD I would slide it. But I really miss it lol. No track here in Maui or I’d build one for track/drift duty!
Love it, absolutely love it. It’s just so basic in a world where nearly all cars look like spaceships. I needed this. Nissan and Toyota killed it with the new z and the gr Yaris. The only new cars I’m excited about it.
@@userseveneleven The Q60 has a very "squishy" auto trans, it's heavy and loses a lot of power in the drivetrain. This Z is light and the trans will grab hard so more power goes to the wheels
Ends up driving as good as it looks, ENDS UP ! It's designed from DAY ONE ! To Drive as good as it looks! Nissan does NOT go racing for fun, they race for engineering data banks , on the cars they race. Better boost that savings account with Dollars, the question is , can YOU , Drive well enough, to explore twin turbo on track day ?
Amen, puts supra to shame. I think the Supra is way too much BMW inside and out, compared to the iconic supra its nothing like it at all. The Z is a direct clone of its classic version, the design speaks for itself. It will out sell supra by a mile. Supra i hate to say it because im a huge older supra fan 2jz.love them but the new one feels like a sell out.
the more pics you take , i'm getting to visulize of what the final shape would be in production and in my mind it looks sick af to be tweaked ! imagine this goin up pikes peak and the clouds in the background !!!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad they gave you this opptunity Larry. Well deserved and no one else would have bought it to us in the same way. Amazing work for a true icon of car being released soon.
This is how to design a sportcar. No FAKE scoop, no Fake vent, no fake wing. Omg this car just look great. Those photos are Absolutely beautiful, absolutely.
They did an excellent job. Kept the original theme going and it looks very similar to the last generation. More power and upgraded interior was all the last model really needed. Bravo Nissan!
Wow. Nissan got every penny worth with this shoot. So much location knowledge and veteran execution at all of them, such good results. A true professional, Larry.
Honestly i think its stunning. As a kid in the 80s my neighbour had a full show condition 240Z, electric blue metallic, braided lines, painted engine bay, plastic covers over the lights, chrome everything. is dad was a restorer with the best restored Pontiac in OZ. God that car was beautiful and that Proto Z has so many stunning cues that take me right back to it. I'm sure you would have loved to shoot that car. And the '57 Pontiac Chieftain. and '28 Buick Standard for that matter.
Soooo awesome what a cool honor to have Nissan contact you to be their exclusive release guy It looks great lots of vibe from the first era my brother had a nice blue 78 280z when I was a kid in school I made him take me to school in it when he was home visiting from the navy I know you're the best guy to do this release love your work Larry top shelf!
Good looking car ... be interesting to see what changes from this "proto" version to the street version and of course the race, rally and drag .... good job Nissan 👏
LOVE LOVE LOVE that retro look in the rear of my favorite Z, the 300zx. It's about damn time Nissan. Thank You. You are going to bring me back to the Z fam. I can't wait to get one now.
@@sooooootamad7539 twin turbo v6 will be over 30k base closer to 40k. If that’s the base engine that is what I would expect. Hopefully the center touch screen isn’t some cheapo TFT garbage like in the Prius either, but even with it as an option I would expect it to be over the 37k base mark with that engine.
@@2ndAveScents man they should do a digital dial dash instead. I mean even that is fine though. 37k to 40k isn't as bad with an engine like that. Maybe base could be na
This is probably the most beautiful new car in my opinion 😍 When all car makers are making boring SUV's this car is looks so refreshing. No hate for the Supra but Toyota could learn a thing or two about reviving old cars. Love this thing.
After many disappointing modern sports cars (M4, Supra, Corvette) this looks great. Thank you Nissan for delivering on the manual transmission for true car enthusiasts
The more pictures I see of this purty car the more I like it. I feel like they put a lot of effort into making almost optical illusions. The car totally gets different styles and looks from different angles and that's pretty unique. The paint changes color a lot with different lighting as well which seems pretty intentional. I'm so glad you got your hands on it Larry 😁😁💙
Larry, you lucky SOB! Just kidding, no luck here. You've worked your ass off for this. Nissan couldn't have picked a better person for this shoot. A great photographer who is also a Z Stan. I'm happy for you.
Bruh, my first car was an NX-R (NX2000/100NX). I then purchased a 350z in Le Mans Sunset (the greatest colour ever made), and currently own a 370z in Magma. I don’t normally comment on RUclips vids, but I also happen to be an amateur photographer, and your shoot is fantastic...! So much love to you and the team, simply because I know the effort involved in staging shots like this, and also because I love the Z. Thumbs up!
Cool shoot Larry (& crew) I've been viewing 'Autofocus for awhile now and your presentations have really grown on me. This car, you have, celebrated, elevated and given a context that is relatable to the public. Whether associating with Grid Life, doing the company a favour, celebrating creativity or recording an event for posterity, you and crew have become the standard by which I judge all other auto image making. And I love the 'Z' family. Cheers.
I feel that this car, while looking like a true Z car, yet, in a strange way looks more "Supra" than the new Supra. This photo shoot is like having access to the new space shuttle...only better. At first I didn't like that color, now I love it. I stands out, even in subdued lighting it stands out, every detail ingratiating itself to the eyes, and at night it calls attention to itself. This is a home run. That rainguard, a Samurai sword, glorious.
I just love this car. My favorite cars are 240z -280z. Just seeing this cat capture that older styling is amazing. I really want to get one when they come out but I’m to young too.
The best man for the job just love this the I love the fact that it's modern retro old skool z, so gutted we're not getting it in the UK, has anyone else ever seen tyres wrapped in plastic wow that's factory fresh
Support Autofocus and grab the world's most versatile light for your everyday needs. bit.ly/3mwMnqS
Camera setup for this shoot Larry?
I love how they kept it simple. No scoops and just letting the design speak for itself. It's a classic roadster design that doesn't fail.
Looks like a hideous toy car. Sorry its just how I feel. I don't think this car looks inspired at all.
@@moonrooster7160 some people are just never satisfied.

This car is for Z fans, it will sell like a hot cake. Ofcause You are entitled for your opinion.
I like how I can see each of the generations in styling of the Fairlady Z captured in this new one, very nice.
Yes! That’s what it is! Well said
That's cause they don't change anything
@@giraffesushi8112 haters never change either

Can't wait to see this car in a darker shade of blue

Its teal'c from SG1

Very retro taillights. Reminds me of Cyberpunk, new yet retro.
👍 exactly
Yes those look good
Somebody needs to mod it into the game
Same, tbh I hope someone makes a light bar with that black housing, that would look sick
Larry done Made-It!! The big time baby! Larry's THAT GUY (congrats)
I think it looks waaaaay cleaner than the new supra
not only that, it's got a manual!

This car has such a perfect stance to me. Not too low, and does not have god-awful wheel well gaps. The wheel/tire combo is perfect as well.
It’s amazing just to see Larry do his craft
Larry has the best job in the world
This is the first Z car ive been excited about in a long time... What a wonderful episde of HAF... Keep it coming Larry!
I love the throw back to the 300zx tail lights, one sexy ass z
Larry that has to be a honor! You do amazing shots, the fairlady is amazing! I'm hoping you get some super shots of the new Bronco!
Will Nissan use any of these for the brochures? This shot Larry are EPIC!
Watching a true master at his work. Well done, Sir!!!
oh yes that is very reminiscent of the classic Z
this car is so beautiful cant wait to get one!
Man you have a way of capturing cars that makes them even more beautiful than they already are. 🙌🏼
Never been much of a newer z fan but I really like the curves and lines from the side view and the rear of this car looks amazing
That thing with a gargantuan spoiler is gonna look ballistic.
The shots, especially out in the wild, are immaculate 👏
The Beauty in the Beast... of a city.
Im just waiting for Larry to say "as you all know, I have a Z"
But the shots is always amazing!!
lmao waiting for it!!!!
Larry Chen is the Man! Jealous of your life Brotha, thanks for the Z content!
